Novgorod, in modern day northwest Russia was actually founded by Swedish Vikings, and was an important station for the trade between the Byzantine Empire and the Norsemen.

The choice of adding Novgorod as a Norse AI name is surprisingly accurate, despite the fact that the city later became the center of a well-known East Slavic state.
