Why not Belgium, Peru, Poland, Hungary, Romania, even Gibraltar or the UK?
Why do you want to compare to those specific countries you quote rather than the countries, say, that Sweden has distant transport links to?
See what I mean about myths propagating.
- Isinlor 6y agoBecause Nordic countries are very similar culturally and compare between each other all the time. I have a Finnish girlfriend and my impression is that first thing that Finnish people do when considering a policy is to ask how it's done in Sweden. They overall rejected Swedish approach with good results. All the other countries you mentioned have vastly different cultures. E.g. I'm Polish and I can say that Polish government doesn't care about law and Polish people are fine with it. It's not to the extent Ukraine or Russia does it, but still. Poles also do not respect authority. This is in exact opposite to how things go in Finland or Sweden. It's almost a taboo to question authorities in Sweden or Finland.
