How old?
I’ve drawn Denmark as younger than Sweden and Norway a few times, but that had to do with the age of the landmass. This shows how old the Nordics are as countries.
Denmark’s birth is from when it became a united country instead of tribes fighting each other, Sweden is from King Gustav Vasa's crowning and Norway, Finland and Iceland are from when they became fully independent from all other countries.
Norway is a bit tricky though, because he could also be said to be around the same age as Denmark. But this is how it's usually done.

I've always wondered, where do you draw the line on how old they are? Is it the age of the land or the country? And if it's the country, when do you mark the beginning of the country? When the first people stepped their or when a formal document was signed under that name or when the country was first given that name?
Ah! So many possibilites!

Iceland became a country during the 13th century, Norway and Sweden before that. Just because Iceland was independent 1944 doesn't mean we weren't a country before that. even if we were colonized by Denmark.

Sweden was technically born in 950-1000 under King Eric the Victorious (Erik Segersäll). It did enter a sort of "hiatus" in the Kalmar union until Gustav Vasa messed them up. (See Stockholms Blodbad)

@Cloudwilk it is from when they became their own contry. In one of her early comics, she said that Denmark was made of sand and sea from Norway when the ice from the ice age melted. So if it was of the land, Norway would be older than Denmark.
