Looking for the name of a book trilogy

This tread made me remember a book trilogy I enjoyed reading when I was a kid.

Basicly, WW3 happens and it blows mankind back to the stoneage. Several hundreds (maybe thousands) of years later, what was left of europe has risen back to end Victorian era/early Great War tech leves but most of it is a shithole dictatorship with runaway desertification. North America is even worse as a postapocalyptic wasteland full of barbarians.
Greenland however has gotten a warmer climate and over now is populated by a low tech, peacefull civilization run by females.

The books start when a european cruiser discovers this utopia and naturally they want to go imperialistic on those greenland hippies.

Can anyone help me out? I'd love to read them again

You're thinking of the Children of Mother Earth saga by Thea Beckman (Kinderen van Moeder Aarde in the original Dutch version).

Good taste there mate--those are awesome books. Although I always wondered what was going to happen once (if) Baaden developed airships...

Yeah, I just found out myself (remembered the name Baden and googled for it). I'm suprised that it doesn't appear to be translated to englisch yet.

To ze library!
