'''Jan Mayen''' is a small Island state north of and part of modern {{flag|Norway}}. In beginning of the game it is owned by {{flag|Sweden}}.  The traditional method of playing as Jan Mayen is to begin the game as Sweden, then to release Jan Mayen and choose Play As.  This is normally exceedingly difficult, as Jan Mayen has an adult male population of 15 in 1836, all of whom are farmers.  In a normal game, the population will decrease to the 10 minimum and won't recover. 

A unique [[decision]] allows Jan Mayen to be ruled by the rightful rulers of Europe: the polar bears. With the beta patch 3.04, there are Polar Bear POPs in the game, so Jan Mayen's armies will be led to victory by hat-wearing bears with names such as Grrrr and Rawrorr.

The nation and decision is clearly an [[easter egg]].

== Strategy (1836 Sweden release start) ==

A special [[decision]] [[The Polar Bear Purchase]] grants you control over {{flag|Iceland}} and Greenland (and with the beta patch 3.04, makes your primary culture Polar Bear). To take it, you need to be a Secondary Power. Since you have no armies or industry and no hope of getting any, the only way to do this is to rush [[prestige]]-granting techs. Luckily your literacy is very high, although you have no clergy at all. A good tech order is [[Romanticism]], stockpiling tech until 1840 for [[Idealism]], then [[Realism]]. Make sure to not neglect the [[Economic Thought and Critique]] chain of [[Commerce technology]], which also unlock a lot of prestige-granting inventions.

Once you embrace polar bear rule, your population will jump from 10 to about 20,000, still much too low to have any economy or army, although you can finally get clergy. In Addition it grants the second state, that is required to be a [[great power]]. With a heavy focus on prestige and some luck, you can become a Great Power by around 1860. In addition to everything that can possibly grant prestige (note that some of the Aesthetics inventions require other Culture techs to have a positive chance of discovery), work on the Market Functionality chain to improve your diplomatic potential once you attain GP status.

Your new stature opens up two possibilities. You can sphere some middling European power ({{flag|Two Sicilies}} and {{flag|Spain}} are good options), form an alliance (you will likely need to boost relations for them to accept), then use their support to conquer an uncivilized nation and give you enough of an economic and population base to raise an army. You can also try to form {{flag|Scandinavia}}. This will require tricky competition with {{flag|Prussia}}/{{flag|North German Federation}}/{{flag|Germany}} in order to sphere {{flag|Denmark}} and {{flag|Russia}} to sphere [[Sweden]], and there's also the danger that you will lose your GP status before you can succeed. But success will turn you into a serious European contender - from now on, you can follow a typical [[Sweden]] strategy, except with more bears.
