As a Norwegian. People from Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland are all my brothers and sisters. Our history and roots are linked, our shared ancestors blood runs in our veins, sometimes indistinquishably from one another in ancestry. We may talk smack to each other, and have our irks, jokes and pranks, but it's all in good spirit, like a brother or sister would tease each other, but if shit had hit the fan in the world-- we would stand up for each other 100%.
@@ronhan9 That was just a good ol' round of brotherly love and done in the spirit of competition.. *Cough* They didn't hit that hard, right? Was just a little tap, bro. Don't run in to mom and tell on him!
@@skrophj Yes, but ''Viking'' is not the only ancestry we have. And while Sweden, Norway and Denmark is the ''closest'', we also include Finland, you border to both Sweden and Norway, tons of Finnish people in both countries. And Iceland is basicly Norwegians who just moved away from Norway.
We disagree but there is no need to write comments because this idea is soooooo unrealistic. Why is that? - Norway's oil & gas - Denmark's Greenland - Sweden's mad immigration politics - Finno-Ugric language & culture in Finland - three monarchies and Finns desire to have a president - history of Nordic countries - etc.
As a dane, i love and respect my nordic brorhers, yes we make fun of eathother, but it's not like we really mean it. And let's be honest, we would be on of the most beautiful and financually staple cuntries in the world.
I have learned one thing about us Scandinavians: Norwegians go to Sweden to buy cheaper booze. Swedes go to Denmark to buy cheaper booze. Danes go to Germany to buy cheaper booze. Finns go to Estonia to buy cheaper booze. All of us fly to southern Europe to buy really cheap booze. :)
Well as a Scandinavian I'd just like to say that, there are those of us who still carry the hope that we'll one day unite under the same flag once again. I really dont consider my Nordic neighbours as foreign. No, we are family and I'll always feel that way. Much love from Denmark.
Why don’t you guys all join Canada? 😂 Technically we’re a Nordic country (certainly North), and share identical weather. And apparently Greenland is already shared between us and Denmark!

@privcacyonion Norway has an abundance of thorium and gas and an estimated 8 billion barrels of oil of what is found natural resources are not running out anytime soon.
Awesome idea, and something I myself as a swedish-speaking Finn would love! The capital should definitely be divided though. Parliament in Stockholm (central location and largest city), the government should sit in Copenhagen (closest to europe), military leadership should be in Helsinki (military history and only major land border) and the supreme court should be in Oslo. That way, all countries get something valuable. Unfortunately for us Finns, we'd have to accept that the currency would become Nordic Crowns.
This sounds very...logical! I am surprised how logical. This would be a good sharing! But Finns don't know much about the ocean (do lots of lakes in frozen state or open)..so I would place navy units to Norway or Iceland.
Sure, and rest of Nordic countries would have to accept Finnish language to be added as the second national language, so that all Nordic countries would be two-speaking, just like Swedish is in Finland.
That would result in the traditional wars between the nations in order to be able to decide wich King (or Queen) would get the throne. All the older wars happened because the Danes didn't want a Swedish King, the Swedes didn't want a Danish King etc! The Kalmar Union were a result of the ending of the Viking Age, with Denmark conquering Swedish areas with the help of the Holy Roman Empire.
A finnish song "Nypykät - Lastenlaulu" says: "The country of Sweden brought to its children a beautiful king who however is nobody The country of Denmark brought to its children Lego cars and an uspeakable language The country of Norway brought to its children oil slicks and an ability to enjoy the smell of herring"
It would propably have to be a united states or a federation of Northern Countries. This way Norway Denmark and Sweden could keep their monarchies for I doubt that Iceland or Finland would not want their tax money to go to a Scandinavian king or queen.
Quite to the contrary, my dear @@rullvard8245. I say it's about god damn time we have the god of mischief as our spiritual and temporal ruler, commander and sugar daddy.
Personally as a Finn I've really wanted the Nordic Council to be more like the EU and replace it for years now. Not that I dislike the EU, but the Central European economic models simply don't work all too well in the north, so things like farming in Finland for example have suffered quite a bit since joining the EU.
I, a Norwegian, a fellow nordic, concur with you my Finnish friend. However... the EU is a tyranny and We must not become one if the Nordic Council is to form an independent union from the EU. And we must not let Sweden get too much saying in the council . They will only push their political correct disaster agenda down our throats!

As a Swede, I would love for this to happen. Many Swedes seem to feel the same as well, and would rather be apart of a Nordic union than the EU. There would be quite a few bureaucratic obstacles to overcome, and I think it'd be best set up as a republic with states with a fairly high independence, and a federal organization for defence and similarly important things. And I do believe that it would have happened sooner or later if the EU hadn't happened first. The peoples of the Nordics have had our violent disagreements in the past, but we do mostly get along nicely these days.
@@Danny-vl2ym Who the hell wants to be a part of Russia? Your high school history teacher is crying.

He named our taxation in the "bad things" list, someone needs to explain to him that we are a capitalist society like any other, but those taxes, specially for the wealthy, or big companies are used to make us the happiest countries in the world.
Yeah! With that we can support things such as good healthcare for all and free further education too! (Education is seriously so important I'm so happy the opportunities for it are so good in my country)
The purpose of high taxes is to keep people poor so that they will keep voting on socialists. There are plenty of other countries with equally good or even better services, but with way lower taxes.
@@Merecir There are no taxes "keeping the poor poor so they vote socialism" we have a mix economy that taxes rich and big corporations so that the poor can study for free and stop being poor. That is why America is full of homeless and we are not. Americans keep asking how much we pay in taxes, to feel better? first I'll say that the important part is how much money you end up with in your pocket AFTER paying those taxes, because most upper mid, mid and low class Swedish people make more AFTER our big taxes than equivalent Americans after their low taxes, on the other hand you can't put a price on happiness, taxes are high, but we keep getting high up on all kind of happiness lists. Also not having the expenses that Americans have, like school loans or excessive medical prices, we usually have more money to buy things, Sweden is a mix economic system, not socialism or capitalism, we are "lagom" the taxes only unintuitively, help us be great consumers of goods and luxury. In any case there is a lot of Swedish people that may love the idea of an American owned Scandinavia, the thing is that Swedish people with money are the ones that travel to USA, and when they are there they enjoy, they don't live the rough life that 60 % of Americans live everyday. The rich Swedish people look how the rich Americans live and they wish they could pay zero taxes like Amazon does. They come back here wishing Sweden was America. If the other way around was possible, if the the middle low and low class Americans could come here and see how swedes low and middle low class live and then go back, a big revolution would happen there. But the thing is that most Americans don't have the money to come to Europe, hell, every time I go there I meet people thay have barely leave their own state. You keep living the American DREAM We in the meantime are living a beautiful reality, no need for a dream.

People here are so, so, so naive to the effects of unification... This is the perfect step towards complete globalist regime/weltanschauungen... the dissolve and dilution of all Nordic diversity into one ambiguous mass, where we inevitably lose our national, demographical, cultural, historical roots, identity and individuality from one another. It’s less borders to protect our lands and furthers the room for more, even more ambiguous, contradictory mixing of identities in the future. Why fix what doesn’t need fixing? Do not ruin these beautiful lands and betray our ancestors who fought for their individuality/national identities. I LOVE my fellow Nordic people, which is why I say this. I don’t want us to turn into a United States of Scandinavia and turn to degeneracy like the USA. Our matters should be national, local and meaningful, not under a super-state which’s only purpose is war and money...
@@meganaxeliar I would never support the centralization of power in to the hands of my enemies, so I would not support unification. But in theory unification in to a confederation or just a colaition would be useful as small countries and nations have a hard time surviving.
I wouldn't mind having Scotland with us. They seem to be rather unhappy being a part of Great Britain and they have a quite similar society like we Nordic countries have.
I don't think it's just that they don't like the UK, I think they just don't like being together with anyone. So it would probably just be a question about time until they would like to leave the kalmar union as well...
I would literally not care if we became the same country (im from sweden). I mean I love our neighbours and we are basically the same country with just a line drawn over it.
That is one thing I would like a lot. Unite the Nordic countries and leave the EU. I am not very good with economics, but the fact that DK, NO & SE already use “kroner” must simplify achieving a unified currency, I imagine...? If we can keep Greenland in the deal we would have a major hand in the “fight for the arctic”.

YES, YES IT WOULD! Just keep it being a union and not a singular country. I love my country and it's culture.. You guys can have your rotten fish and moonshine for ya self :P
Oh yeah, as a Finn I've long dreamed that we could just step out of the EU and make a similar economic union between the 5 Nordic countries and their autonomous regions. Maybe let the baltics and the netherlands in as well for some added wealth and territory. The EU is so bad for countries like ours whose produce comes mostly from fishing and small farms. Also if we acted as a single entity we'd be in the same league as other major players, meaning other countries would finally take us seriously
Honestly just imagine how much more we could do if we united the nordic conutries... We could make everything better with the high economic growth and as most of the nordic countries are the idols of todays society we would become even bigger idols...
Bigger countries with more power equals more duties with more ambition, as well as bigger threats. It's unlikely that a unified Nordic country would be any more idealized. If anything, it will have far more attention paid to it, and thus its flaws would become hyper-scrutinized by a less starry-eyed multinational media.
@@stephenjenkins7971 Why? all nordic countries go by the same peace keeping policies... we have not gone the offense in over 200 years and would not be threat to anyone... and all of our infrastructure could become better and use eachothers strenghts to make one powerfull nation.

Me neither, I honestly think it could better thing with a unified mindset here humor, economy, ideology, peace, progress and prosperity would be the priority and people not get caught up in if someone was born north, east, south or west of Kattegat.
I actually think people would feel even more secure as we could be a pretty big nation with almost endless resources all together, and it would be more easy to befriend eachother.
@@outdoorsredfly5143 Yes I agree with you but those endless of resources would translate into better economy, more prosperity, progress and peace hopefully and with a good ideology too it would make the already best place to live in the world that much more of a bright star and example to all of what is possible when people can work together unified in one cause despite differences. Imagine these great nations working together in todays world. My only worry and concern would be if we got bad leaders or started to forget what made us great to begin with.
Sebastian Thomsen could not agree more, easy as that we are pretty likeminded people. We instinctively as humans need «a feeling of security» and with more prosperity, peace, stable economy for those even down to labor workers ect. We could actually have the answer to eden and surpass most continents with our unity.
Yes we all have dark twisted humor. I made one friend from swedish man in less than 5 minutes to make one joke about fishy smelling norwegians, speaking swedish with a potato in their mouth. And I thought swedish people hates us finns.
Yeah, even if we unite all the countries it would still be the 7th biggest country and not to much population. It would basically become a strong and developed country. Love this idea!
Well I don't think it is likely to happen but if it ever were to happen it would likely be something like all of the nations continue as normal domestically but stand united on external policies and issues (in some way) and then after that massive leap they can slowly inch together integrating more and more until eventually it will all be like one united nation for the most part at least
The nordic countries are already allied with a shared welfare system etc. You don't need to be citizen you just need to be registered as living in any of the nordic countries and you will receive the same benefits as a citizen. If that could extend to trade as well so you could import/export products as if it was within the same country we would be halfway there. I don't think anyone would accept a shared political system though since Sweden is pretty much nuts when it comes to politics.
Swedish is one of official languages in Finland you missed that they also learn it in school. So Norway, Denmark and Finland all understand Swedish even if they don't talk it.
But it is all bout the motivation. Finns study swedish but most of the ex students dont remember actually anything bout the grammar or anything, only a few interesting words XD

We do have northern lights in Denmark sometimes. I have experienced this 3 times in Aarhus. And yes it would be a great idea to unite the Nordic countries into one union, and have the old capitals as regional capitals, just as there is regional capitals in USA. For the united capital, we can those to go on turn.

Old quote from Finland: We are not Swedes nor we are Russians, so let us be Finns! ps. I'd be happy to see Kalmar union back, but with actual equality this time around.
I don’t agree with you. I think we should build a capital near a city in south Sweden. Then we would have a capitol we could make to a national symbol, instead of capitals from the old countries.
@@SteffenBagger I mean that we could spread out the government to make more people feel included. Maybe even make a joint parliament somewhere like Gothenburg but a backup in case of war. Like somewhere hard to get to.

Got big doubts regarding the willingness of Iceland to join such a union. Denmark's rule of Iceland was gained from Norway via the Kalmar Union, only to keep it after the Union broke up. Then Iceland tried for a long time to gain independence, finally succeeding in 1944. I don't think Iceland will join in such an arrangement again, at least for a very long time.

Yeah fuck Christianity! It ruined the Norse worldview and indigenous Viking religious belief system of strong gods of war and love and passion and life!! - and replaced them with a pathetic weakling on the cross. Which led to the Vikings becoming tamed, as they began to worship this new emasculated “god” (read: weak little man?) on the cross who called normal human passions “sins” and made people feel guilty for just being human. The Norse gods were an affirmation of life - while the Christian god turned life into something sinful. Such a tragedy for the Norse and the Viking culture. Here’s hoping the old Norse gods rise again!!

Awesome idea, and something I myself as a swedish-speaking Finn would love! The capital should definitely be divided though. Parliament in Stockholm (central location and largest city), the government should sit in Copenhagen (closest to europe), military leadership should be in Helsinki (military history and only major land border) and the supreme court should be in Oslo. That way, all countries get something valuable.

Many Swedes seem to feel the same as well, and would rather be apart of a Nordic union than the EU.
There would be quite a few bureaucratic obstacles to overcome, and I think it'd be best set up as a republic with states with a fairly high independence, and a federal organization for defence and similarly important things.

He named our taxation in the "bad things" list, someone needs to explain to him that we are a capitalist society like any other, but those taxes, specially for the wealthy, or big companies are used to make us the happiest countries in the world.
Pedro Gruvhagen Sure! ”Money don’t make you happy” But your country it will? :D :/
Yeah! With that we can support things such as good healthcare for all and free further education too! (Education is seriously so important I'm so happy the opportunities for it are so good in my country)
The purpose of high taxes is to keep people poor so that they will keep voting on socialists.
There are plenty of other countries with equally good or even better services, but with way lower taxes.
@@Merecir There are no taxes "keeping the poor poor so they vote socialism" we have a mix economy that taxes rich and big corporations so that the poor can study for free and stop being poor. That is why America is full of homeless and we are not.
Americans keep asking how much we pay in taxes, to feel better?
first I'll say that the important part is how much money you end up with in your pocket AFTER paying those taxes, because most upper mid, mid and low class Swedish people make more AFTER our big taxes than equivalent Americans after their low taxes, on the other hand you can't put a price on happiness, taxes are high, but we keep getting high up on all kind of happiness lists.
Also not having the expenses that Americans have, like school loans or excessive medical prices, we usually have more money to buy things, Sweden is a mix economic system, not socialism or capitalism, we are "lagom" the taxes only unintuitively, help us be great consumers of goods and luxury.
In any case there is a lot of Swedish people that may love the idea of an American owned Scandinavia, the thing is that Swedish people with money are the ones that travel to USA, and when they are there they enjoy, they don't live the rough life that 60 % of Americans live everyday.
The rich Swedish people look how the rich Americans live and they wish they could pay zero taxes like Amazon does.
They come back here wishing Sweden was America.
If the other way around was possible, if the the middle low and low class Americans could come here and see how swedes low and middle low class live and then go back, a big revolution would happen there.
But the thing is that most Americans don't have the money to come to Europe, hell, every time I go there I meet people thay have barely leave their own state.

The nordic countries are already allied with a shared welfare system etc. You don't need to be citizen you just need to be registered as living in any of the nordic countries and you will receive the same benefits as a citizen.

The Norwegians would be feeling a little superior and the Finns would be too busy partying and having lots of 'fun' in the bedroom. Iceland would be relieved it was slightly far enough away to get too involved. Seriously though, it's a nice thought but I like you all just as you are, you all have something special in your own ways. From an envious Brit.

Excellent information 👍
As a Norwegian I really like the sound of this:)
As a Swede I really like this idea
Samma här!
No, Stockholm is not referred to as “the capital of Scandinavia”. Only people in Stockholm refer to Stockholm that way.
@Swede Well everyone's heard of Copenhagen as well :) but many think it's the capital of the Netherlands... I don't know whether that's worse for Amsterdam or Denmark ;)
@Swede oi fuk u m8
Counterpoint it says capital of Scandinavia in arlanda airport so...
Axel Kruhsberg ? Alta could also put up a sign in their airport, but that doesn’t suddenly make it true.
That campaign is SO weird and misleading, especially because People already get confused with the Scandinavian and Nordic countries.
No we don't
As a Norwegian/Scandinavian/North European I would loved this and has been dreaming of this

Imagine this new, glorious union is at war and
a finnish and a norwegian is standing next to each other:
Norwegian: "Never thought I'd die fighting side by side with the White Death himself"
Finnish: "What about side by side with a friend?"
Norwegian: "Aye! I could do that"
Well, Sweden has been a country with both, even if they didn't really have a choice
What would it mean for them in Eurovision??
"And the winner is Australia!"
Phillip Leong Bad joke.
LOL
Sweden wouldn't have to worry about winning it anymore now when they're involved with the Finns .
I guess that's where the downside comes in :p sweden is not ready to gove up their wins 😅
@@weedidi7144 Yea the Nordics would win every time, the years Sweden's great pop songs wouldnt work we could just send a metal band from any other of the 4 countries - or a young violin boi from Norway, ez win year to year
I'm from Finland and if this happened we would have the best esports team and we would have the happiest people by a mile from other countries
lol what about ice hockey
Yeah and 300.000 antidepressant users in Norway will make sure to top that statistic 😉
We would slaughter ppl in icehockey
Finland already has the happiest people in the world.
@Spacecowboy Eson I believe in science, and the "happiness" rating is based on factual parametrics, many of them. Finland is a peaceful and stable country with high standard of living. No wonder it is #1.
Could only work if the Swedish get a hold of themselves, and tone down their hysterical political climate.
and Danish Immigrant laws would apply. but then again half the population of Sweden would remain. the other half would be kicked out. Send home!
@@wardope Nah, most are actual swedes, more than half of our population, I think around a million would be kicked out. We have approximately 1,33 million immigrants or 14,3% of our population so very far away from half but still alot.
@@Wroxal too many!
@@wardope True
Well about half of Sweden's population votes for those laws so the political climate would probably be fixed considering the Norwegians, Danes and Finns could vote them out of office
We do have northern lights in Denmark sometimes. I have experienced this 3 times in Aarhus. And yes it would be a great idea to unite the Nordic countries into one union, and have the old capitals as regional capitals, just as there is regional capitals in USA. For the united capital, we can those to go on turn.
Personally I think Gothenburg would be a good choice. Centrally located between Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm, about equal distance from Helsinki and Reykjavik, and crucially, it has never before been a capital. Thereby no country can brag about their capital being the new capital
Old quote from Finland: We are not Swedes nor we are Russians, so let us be Finns!
ps. I'd be happy to see Kalmar union back, but with actual equality this time around.
"Swedes we are not, Russians we will not be, so let us be Finns" -Adolf I Arwidsson
Joni Tarvainen “Ruotsalaisia emme enää ole, venäläisiksi emme halua tulla, olkaamme siis suomalaisia”
Kalmar union was only Norway, Sweden and Denmark tho
Greenland is American Clay.
Blue Son of Man Greenland is Independent but still a part of Denmark
I would love to see the nordic countries unite! I love every single one of them!❤️😊
-sincerely a German ;)
Linda Jürgensen No ty.
You only want us for the iron ;l
Ten Ven wtf are you talking about?
@Ten Ven dude, she means she likes the Nordic countries because they’re great places
I would rather join Germany than Sweden.
Interesting idea and thoughts!
9:19 flag looks dope
If we unite, let's make Helsinki, Stockholm, Oslo, Copenhagen and Reykjavik the capitals for different things.
Eken 17 YES and Helsinki should be where all the food is because I’m a hungry biatch
I don’t agree with you. I think we should build a capital near a city in south Sweden. Then we would have a capitol we could make to a national symbol, instead of capitals from the old countries.
@@SteffenBagger wht sweden? To me any other than sweden and greenland.
@@ludvikisnes1628 Sweden is in the middle.
@@SteffenBagger I mean that we could spread out the government to make more people feel included. Maybe even make a joint parliament somewhere like Gothenburg but a backup in case of war. Like somewhere hard to get to.
*Why does the Norwegian navy put bar codes on the sides of their ships? So when they return to port they can Scandinavian.*

this is probably the worst joke I have EVER heard
boo
Underrated comment
@kiwikill Looks like 157 people disagrees with you
I see no downside with this. I have wanted this for years.
As a Dane, I can say this would be a really cool idea
Exporting hygge even moore :)
As a Finn I agree but it would be a chaos. What would be the currency (which money we use), tax rates are different, how about law differences, language, Finnish men have to go through military, how that would continue? Some of us are part of Nato, some of us are not. Some of us are in EU some are not
Australia should naturally be a part as well, as in Eurovision.
Hmm, this fact must have been too obvious to be mentioned in the video.
Lol
@wild one Really? Do I need to queue up Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin ?

You said the reserve military at 1.2 million but your animation shows 2.1 million.
The correct number prolly is 2.1 million because Finland alone has almost million reservists
@@matiaslappi663 But the others have almost none
@@justsomeghostwithinterneta7296 Becuase Finland is the only country with a strict military service
Finland has 900 000 already so more than 1.2 million
Yeah That's a mistake
Got big doubts regarding the willingness of Iceland to join such a union. Denmark's rule of Iceland was gained from Norway via the Kalmar Union, only to keep it after the Union broke up. Then Iceland tried for a long time to gain independence, finally succeeding in 1944. I don't think Iceland will join in such an arrangement again, at least for a very long time.
Sweden: Innovation, Known for massive reputable brands
Norway: $$$$$$ , most developed country in the world
Finland: Efficient army
Denmark: Architecture
Iceland: Beautiful nature
Greenland: Potentially rich in oil and natural resourses
Imagine this country together.
A new capital: Valhalla. While our viking roots might be long gone and we no longer belive in the old gods, every proud Nord would still be able to go to Valhalla
Some do still believe in the old gods
yas
Elektronox yeah, but it's a small minority.
@@Jarvis_923 That's why I said some.
Yeah fuck Christianity! It ruined the Norse worldview and indigenous Viking religious belief system of strong gods of war and love and passion and life!! - and replaced them with a pathetic weakling on the cross. Which led to the Vikings becoming tamed, as they began to worship this new emasculated “god” (read: weak little man?) on the cross who called normal human passions “sins” and made people feel guilty for just being human. The Norse gods were an affirmation of life - while the Christian god turned life into something sinful. Such a tragedy for the Norse and the Viking culture. Here’s hoping the old Norse gods rise again!!
4:56 Military service in Finland is compulsory only for men, you can also opt out by entering alternative non-military service, and the minimum length for military service is six months, not nine.
yeah, tho you dont get to decide how long you will be there.
@Lol Xd A shit military that still frequently comes on top in NATO military exercises...
@Lol Xd our military training is actually one of the best
Lol Xd Plus the fact that we did not really lose to Russia. Yes, there was the peace agreement and all that jazz but we still held on to one of the three most powerfull and most influentian counties. And it did not happen only once.
@@marialindell9874 You only held out because of the stupidity of Staļin. He attacked with an unprepared army with tactics and weapons not suted to the environment.
Would be aa great idea!
"Little government corruption." Laughs in Icelandic.
Out of EU and form an union of our own
I would def not oppose a nordic union
I got censored by Google.
I did say out of NATO and then not being enemy or worry for either of NATO or Russia but just a peaceful region who don't really have to bother with or bother either of them.
As for EU I made some claim about those who wouldn't any longer be brought to our land so to speak but clearly Google didn't liked that.
I would support that kind of coorporation between my nordic brothers and sisters!
Amazing!
Haha, fuck leaving the EU tho
*_Its nice when somebody talks about the Nordic countries!_*
*_But if we would become one country, i only want that Finnish language and Sauna survives!_*
Finnish would survive don't worry, too many of you bastards still exist. And saunas? That's the biggest reason I want you in our new union! Just kidding I love you Finland
Get ya finnish language outta'here!

Wouldent it be great. ❤️ together we would be great! The north should unite!!! Länge leve norden!!! I love all of our nordic countries
You're spelling that wrong, it should be "Lenge leve norden!".. hm, that could be a source of conflict in the union :/
Actually, there is already a military cooperation between the nordic countries called NORDEFCO (Nordic Defence Cooperation). It’s not an alliance but close to it. :)
5:27 Really? Just casually puts the shittiest picture of Helsinki to the video, but then the Oslo and Stockholm are the amazing ones...
:((
@Nordisk Makt huh
Andrea Calio Oh, for me it just looks pixelated of Helsinki..
personally I thought helsinki’s looked the best
just want to mention that we had warmer temperaturs than spain this summer
I would love it, for there is so many ways each country could benefit each other to already very successful nations. I think our countries has more that unite us than divide us and together we would be stronger as long as pride and petty debate over silly things like currency, language, flag or capital would not prevail. Heck I would be willing to learn Icelandic or Finish to see it happen :D
We will never bow to monarchy. Your's truly: Finns
Finnjävel
Iceland is with you
Nobody is bowing to monarchy since they don’t hold any power. Stoopid
It's interesting to imagine a potential union but I think they're doing pretty good each on their own.
Sweden needs help
We should unite
They would better together.
Unite and kick out Islam.
We're much worse than we'd be united. As a Swede.
Unsure whatever any of the others would want the crazyness which is Sweden though.
We could join and then have no voting power for Sweden.
