remember folks, its not that scandinavian countries are better at everything. Everyone else just sucks so much that we beccome "the best of the worst"

[ArnarF]

the reason we aren't uniting under one banner is to give the rest of the world a chance

[TroelsNybost]

The Norwegians with their dramatic landscapes are having a huge lot of fun from the fact that a 147 m hill in flat earth Denmark is named "Himmelbjerget", literally "Heaven Mountain" after the highest mountain in Asgaard, home of the gods.

calling norway swedens bigger brother is crazy on so many levels

Fun fact: This video was uploaded on finnish independence day!

No need to feel inferior.
Well... obviously you are, but it doesn't help to go around thinking about it.

As a Dane i love my scandinavic brothers (not sweden)

[ericmyrs]

Actually, the reason Scandis are hugging the Canadian border, is because the rest of the US is too hot.

[AphelionYt]

As a Scandinavian, you can thank me later (I personally haven´t contributed at all)

[Togangehverdag]

Denmark wasn't created in 1397 - it was when the Kalmar Union was established under danish rule. But Denmark as a country was established long before either in the late 800's or the early 900's. Yes Norway is technically older, but as Norway in opposition to Denmark has been annected for most of its history, Denmark is officially the oldest nordic country that has never been annected by others (the only slight exception being during WW2, but still then Denmark was technically independent and was more a german client state than a fully occupied part of nazi germany.)

As a nordic, we are built different:D

[kevin-swfe]

We tried to make a union before and it did not end well

[axlr.]

Lmao the guys reaction in the ad is so scandinavian; "Hopsa! Ai ai ai!"

[SaphoxxFTW]

The why unification won't happen is that surrounding countries don't want to share Sweden's enrichment.

[rovhalt]

Just a reminder, those gun deaths are usually not related to native scandinavians

[DocProctor]

In the relief: See the mountains going through Norway and Sweden from south to north? Those (and the Scottish highlands) used to be connected to what is now the Appalacian mountain range. Aren't plate tectonics neat?

Also, the wolf and bear attack data is highly debated. There has been 0 deaths to bear or wolf attacks since 1906 :)

I am satisfied over the fact that I was born in Norway. I may not be rich but I am happy about it.

[Theo_manden]

Is it just me or he didn't talk about Denmark on all the lists and the danish flag is actually the oldest flag in the world

[sirbucket]

A kinda mean joke i hear alot in denmark is "we sendt all the stupid people over to america, and they havent been able to recover since"

Denmark is the least corrupt country, the the data is wrong. In 2021 Denmark was no. 1, not no. 4.

Denmarks corruption ranking since 2009 (15 years): Least corrupt country 12 out of the last 15 years (and 3 2nd places)....
