How the North works
I found this lying unfinished around on my computer, and because I’ve got no comic today you’ll have to do with this.
Being the Dane I am, I of course forgot the Sami People (the Nordic "Indians").
EDIT: Yes, Sweden got Norway later on, but that is not what the bottom picture is about. For many years the Nordics were separated in West-North and East-North. When Sweden got Norway that messed up the separation of West and East and marked Denmark’s decline from power.

@TBone - No it would not
It has been like this for a bit too many years, for Estonia just to "slip in" ;D

I haven't read the comments so I'm not surprised if it is mentioned, but as the swedish asshole that I'm, I want Norway to be split between Denmark and Sweden. I hate my self for saying this...

and once upon a time we all belonged to Denmark, during the Kalmar union but then (beginning of 16:th century) we(especially Gustav Vasa) got mad because of Stockholm's blodbad and Gustav Vasa made us independent from the union, by force of course. The date of which he became king of Sweden is our national day. This is all the history i remember learning in middle school.

And after Eurovision '13, we Finns are pissed about how the Nordics threw us out of their fancy little club. All except Denmark.
Even Russia and Estonia gave us a hit below the belt. And Hungary.
We Finns are currently awaiting the hopeful independence of Scotland. We shall be team white and blue and the Nordics aren't invited.
