Sweden Denmark and Norway
Hooray for stereotypes!
Sweden, Denmark and Norway as we see each other and ourselves.
Sweden is seen as the most advanced country in terms of technology. In Norway they’re seen as snobs and arrogant, and in Denmark they’re seen as people who are very concerned with order, but loose all self-control when they come to Denmark to drink the cheep beer. For some reason Swedes see themselves as cleaner than the other two.
Denmark is seen, both by themselves and the others, as the most laid back country. Sweden see Danes as lazy and without self-control ever, and in Norway they’re seen as people who pursuit a comfortable life.
Norway is seen as the country that is most in touch with it’s beautiful nature. The Swedes see them as unhygienic fish-eaters, and the Danes see them as calm and easy going people.
Of the three countries, Denmark and Norway has the best relationship. Obviously.
But deep down we all see each others as friends.

This is where it all began.
I've learned so much, fallen in love with a stupid guy, and found my new dream place to live in.

I am American, and have never had any previous encounter with Scandinavian stereotypes (like Brother America, I basically kept forgetting the little information I knew about Denmark's existence, and Sweden and Norway were basically lumped together in my brain. The most the average American will know about Scandinavia without going much into politics is that it's some big, cold, barren wasteland that's fun to skii in) before reading these comics, so I feel fairly confident in not have any pre-conceived notions in my mind over it.
As for the people fighting down there, if you can't handle people poking at the stereotypes of countries, including your own, you are reading the wrong comic. I don't flip out if somebody makes a joke at Sister America's fake-boobed valley girl-ness (myself being a silent, dark-haired, short, flat-chested tomboy-geek), so you should take it easy. From what I've read, most of the stuff the original people was sarcastic. it's good to know what sarcasm sounds like if you come to this comic.

Well, we don't really see Denmark as a fun party country... More racist. Well, we did saw Denmark as a big fun Christiania, then came Danskfolkparti and fucked the shiiiiit up.

@finnsrule @ingvar it's true, i've taken many virtual tours of Finland and not seen one person wielding a knife, most are just pedestrians or on bikes, also there are allot of forests there so a switch blade would be a wise idea. Ps: i love Finland
