Hereward Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 No. Because the next thing would be a gang of them rowing up the Great Ouse and sacking my mother's outbuildings. I have my childhood Subbuteo collection in one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falagar Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Can't we just bring them back together along with Denmark, Iceland, & Finland to make the Greater Nordic Empire?It's been suggested. It would be the world's 10th biggest economy, according to its current proponents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just us on the wrong side of the North Sea who are missing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zollo Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Royksopp are Norwegian. +1 Norway.Not sure if Scania is such an asset to Sweden (although I love it dearly) given the fact it's got a society which digs symbolic trenches to mark the boundary between Scania and Sweden in an attempt to emphasise feelings of independence!

Thats a dedicated independence movement right there. Waving flags, writing letters to the editor, blowing up this or that...I can understand the sense of macho nationalist pride that instills. These guys head out for hours of hard, sisyphean, meaningless physical labour in Swedish Scanian weather. Theres some correlation between the inherent gloriousness of a national struggle and the depth of its patheticness. In that sense, these folks sound impressive.

The WaterDancer Knight Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Norway gave us she.That's -10 for Norway.While Sweden choose a guy with a tatoo on the chest saying "Mort au Roi" who wasn't even nobleborn as king.+10 for Sweden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys head out for hours of hard, sisyphean, meaningless physical labour in Swedish Scanian weather. Theres some correlation between the inherent gloriousness of a national struggle and the depth of its patheticness. In that sense, these folks sound impressive.This definitely needs more research. I'll add the thesis that the smaller a region is, the more absurd its herculean feats of nation-building have to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And California doesn't even have oil!Though that Swedes count as less than 1/3 of a person could throw a wrench into the works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not as much, maybe, but 207,460,084 bbl in 2009.) And when CA secedes, I'm totally slinking back to take my place among her peoples.Not as many Swedes or Norwegians, but we do have some Danes....
