    Of course he couldn't mention everything, but as a Swede I have to point out two things:
    Sweden have arguably the best stealth submarines in the world, in a War game some years ago one of them managed to sneak past all the ships and send torpedos and sink a US aircraft carrier. Over all, Swedish military tech is at top level and one of our main exports.
    Swedish songwriter/producer Max Martin has 27 number one billboard hits, second only to Paul McCartney. Music is often called our biggest export after military equipment, and Sweden is together with the UK and USA a country that exports more music than we import.

    14:05 And again the facts are wrong as always when it comes to this topic.
    You are allowed to camp or swim or pick wild berries or mushrooms on private property as long as you don’t disturb the ”house peace”. Meaning you must be out of sight and out of earshot from the residential home. You must leave the campsite undisturbed meaning clean up after yourself and don’t damage the nature.

    You're from Alaska? Then you might be interested to know that Oslo is pretty much exactly as far north as Anchorage and most of Norway is far north of that. As a Norwegian, it is a dream of mine to go to Alaska and the Canadian wilderness one day. It seems like a macroscopic version of Norway. He makes a big mistake when he says we can camp wherever we want as long as it's not private property. The big thing is that we _can_ camp on private property without asking permission. That's not even imaginable for an American, I guess. :)

They're only 11 million, and the only thing they haven't done yet, seems to be sending a Swede to the Moon. Therefore, it only stands to reason that Norway should do that - Send a person to the Moon (Just to piss them off 🤣)

      I disagree. Norway invented artificial fertilizer, which has allowed Humanity to at least double in size. If that's not impressive, I don't know what could be. Norway has also done a lot of other important things like Internet, WWW, mobile telephony, etc. Windows, Mac, Linux, Ios and Android are all written in a programming language that originates in Norway. That's kind of a big deal.

      Polling, I would assume. Most of us who live here know we have a great life, compared to being born anywhere else. Most of us had a good laugh a few years back when Trump was president, and was visited by our prime minister. Trump told her he wanted immigrants from nice countries like Norway, and not "shithole countries". For us grown up in a strong socialist democracy like Norway, US is more of a shithole country than anywhere in Europe lol. One does not give up free education, healthcare, little to none corruption, no big company lobbies affecting elections, strong rights as as an employee, livable minimum wage, almost a year of paid maternity leave... I could go on, but think my point has been made.
