I have to say that having lived in 2 of these countries, that mostly what i heard about swedes in Denmark was remarks on how we speak. Like there is a saying in Sweden, if you get drunk enough you can speak Danish, supricingly when i lived in Denmark i came across the same expression but ofc with danish being swedish. Something else that was talked alot about was food price diferences and specially since there is a sugar tax AND now a fat tax (food gets taxed extra if it containes over a certain % fat to make ppl eat healthier), and in Sweden u mostly talk about the cheap boose and how we cant understand them when they speak but being able to read danish and understand properly. Norway however and Sweden has alot of trafic between them specially work force and well shopping and both Sweden and Norways political parties has a very strong tie to one an other. When it comes to royalty Sweden and Denmark are expremely close thanks to the queen of Denmark and King of Sweden being related. So when it comes to close relations between these countries i have to disagree. I dont feel at all like it is this way as described. For me in certain aspects Sweden and Norway is closer nit together while in others Denmark and Sweden. When i lived in Denmark for some years i even got the feeling Denmark was closer to Germany in relations then with Norway.
