It's definitely interesting how countries have their own PR these days.
And it's working, if you think of a nordic country, chances are, Sweden is the first one that comes to mind.
- tuukkah 3y agoIt happens to be the biggest (excluding Greenland).
- Sharlin 3y agoBiggest by population by a wide margin.
- bunga-bunga 3y ago> Sweden is the first one that comes to mind Is it? Norway has been topping all the livability charts for at least the past decade so that's the one I've always considered "the best in the world." Then probably the Netherlands, if you stretch the definition of Nordic.
- kalleboo 3y agoIt's more that Sweden is the biggest/most populous, and has the most internationally-recognizable brands (IKEA, Volvo, H&M, Husqvarna, Absolut Vodka, Spotify, Klarna, etc)
- _cx4y 3y agoNetherlands? Are you perhaps thinking of Denmark?
- bunga-bunga 3y agoI'm thinking of "Not Just Bikes" on YouTube, so definitely the Netherlands. I rarely hear about Denmark. Finland even less so.
- jug 3y agoFinland is thought to house the happiest people in the world which I always found an interesting contrast to their more grim and hardened reputation! In 2023 too, no less than six years in a row! https://www.npr.org/2023/03/27/1166180048/finland-is-the-worlds-happiest-country-for-the-6th-straight-year https://www.npr.org/2023/03/27/1166180048/finland-is-the-wor...
- brnt 3y agoTbh, they're all nearly the same country in my mind. Minor differences, all in all.
- prewett 3y agoDefinitely different countries in my mind, just because of the accent when speaking English. Norwegians have a pleasant accent, but it gets harder to understand as it goes west. The Finns I have met are really hard to understand.
