Americans, few having visited places like Finland, have a heaven-like perception of the nordic countries. Everyone lives happy lives, powered by public transportation, true equality, and unlimited healthcare unlike almost anywhere else.
I'm sure things are great there, but the perception is rarely based on reality. Rather, the Nordics are almost wholly invented by Americans in their minds based on what they imagine them to be.
