Sápmi and Norways relationship is quite complicated.
Sápmi was the one to first discover him; a little boy, barefeet in the chilly wet tundra. Without hesistation he brought him into his lávvu, a traditional sami tent, where he clothed and fed him. Sápmi is quite nostalgic about this time and will tell any unfortune soul with an ear to lend all the stories about young Norway.
"I could barely get any work done! He would sometimes wrap around my leg and simply refuse to let go, haha!"
However, eventually Scandinavia reached the northermost parts of the Norwegian territory and after a brief but violet confrontation Sápmi would be forced to give up the young boy to the much larger and stronger Scandinavia. This was when Norway joined up with Denmark and Sweden. After this, Sápmi would sometimes approach him when he was alone, making sure he was always well-fed and properly clothed, teaching him valuble lessons about nature and spiritualism. The influence of sámi shamanism together with norse mythology is one of the reasons why Norway can see and speak with spirits.
After having gained independence from Denmark in 1814, Norway finally had his own constitution. In this period of time, the young nation fixiated on creating a Norwegian identity due to technically being under Swedish control. He wanted true independence, but he knew this could only be achieved through establishing a strong Norwegian nationalism throughout the population. This is where he and Sápmi would butt heads.
Norway hoped to integrate Sápmi into modern society, leaving behind the "hedonistic" lifestyle that the Sámi people lived. In his still immature mind, why would anyone choose living in a lávvu and the physically straining task of hoarding reindeer through the unforgiving tundra over a house, education and stable income? After Sápmi outright refused, he saw no other choice than to reinstate a harsh policy to Norwegianize the Sámi people by removing their culture, language and religious practices, sometimes by violent measures. This policy would last until the 1960s.
This is a part of Norwegian history that Norway regrets immensely today, and he has taken many measures in order to assist Sápmi in rebuilding his people's culture and language... Now that he is more mature, he has realized that:
"In the land of Norway, there is space for all kinds of people and culture."

"On the rare occasion that they do, those children who survive the birth often grow up susceptible to all sorts of illnesses; as was the case with young Karl. Ironically, the killing blow France dealt ended up being the child's saving grace -- Strange how that works, isn't it? In any case, Ludwig's health has improved a lot as he grew older. He's as healthy as one can be and I am grateful for that every day."
More new lore notes down below!
Nation is the word humans came to call them, but among their kind, they are referred to as Devai ( Devas, singular. )
Ludwig was born as Karl the Younger, the son of Karl the Elder (HRE) and his wife Mathilde (Nuremberg). Karl made his wife immortal by turning her into an Anathema, but they had great difficulty conceiving. It took centuries before they finally had little Karl, who Mathilde doted on despite the fact that the boy was very frail. Mathilde also never properly adjusted to life as an immortal, which has severely impacted her mental and emotional health.
Gilbert played an active role in caring for young Karl and the two shared a close bond. While the bulk of the boy's care still fell to the appointed devai physicians, he started to be a lot more involved after Frederick's death in 1786. Caring for the kid became a welcome distraction from his grief, but that meant that his death proved to be yet another brutal blow.
Gilbert is also very close to Mathilde, who he's known since his days as a crusader and looked up to her as a sort of mother figure in his youth.

"I was always more of a quiet kid, greatly preferring my books and toys, and the company of those that I was familiar with. I suppose that's why Fritz and I got on well -- We were of the same temperament and had more than a couple shared interests. Being a part of such an unconventional family hasn't always been easy... Especially now that I'm more grown and am more aware of tensions brought about by politics and the like. But I wouldn't change it for the world."
Portrait descriptions under the cut!!
Portrait 1: The Berlin Family, painted in more recent times.
(L to R Back) Otto (Order of St. John), Niklot (Reiner's son, Neubrandenburg), Konrad (Berlin), Gilbert (Prussia), Rahela (Gilbert's wife, Romania), Reiner (Brandenburg), Ilse (Potsdam), Johanna (Koenigsberg), (L to R Front) Ludwig (German Empire), Sztefa (Silesia) - Gilbert and Rahela were wed in 1866, after Prince Karl of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen came to the Romanian throne as King Carol I of Romania. The marriage is purely political, but the two maintain a cordial and warm friendship. much to Erzsi's dismay - Niklot is Reiner's son, born from a human lover he had before the 30 Years War. Father and son were only recently reunited in the 1820s. - Sztefa is Gilbert's adopted daughter, taken in during the First Silesian war, and raised in part by Frederick II. Served in the volunteer corps during the Napoleonic era disguised as a man. Is Ludwig's scary lesbian older sister.
Portrait 2: The Vienna family, painted c. 1830s.
(L to R Back) Erzsebet (Hungary), Sztefa, Anneliese (Vienna), Roderich (Austria) (L to R Front) Ludwig, Gilbert - Roderich may be bonded to Austria, but his sister Anneliese, who embodies the capital, takes more of a leading role when it comes to government matters.
