Storebror Sverige

i'm norwegian (as you can probably tell by my username. XD) and i am like: meh. fair enough. they're the oldest, i don't mind. norwegians often call sweden "søta bror" which simple means "sweet brother" it's believed to be kinda condescending, as in "awwww! you're so cute! X3" but it's never meant in a CRUEL way, so... i'm ok with it, and kinda agree. we ARE kinda like brothers. BOTH with sweden and denmark.

@a_norwegian_guy Yeah, I agree on that. It's kind of accepted here.

@NorwaySwedenDenmark Awww, you guys :3

@Svear . Sweden was "neutral" in second World War, but must remember that Sweden helped Finland quite a much for example in Winter War and Finland is grateful for that to Sweden;
“It is known that at least 8,000 Swedes voluntarily went to Finland to fight alongside the Finns. The Swedish government and public also sent food, clothing, medicine, weapons and ammunition to aid the Finns during this conflict. This military aid included: 135,402 rifles, 347 machine guns, 450 light machine guns with 50,013,300 rounds of small arms ammunition; 144 field guns, 100 anti-aircraft guns and 92 anti-armor guns with 301 846 shells; 300 sea mines and 500 depth charges; 17 fighter aircraft, 5 light bombers, 1 DC-2 transport aircraft turned into bomber, and 3 reconnaissance aircraft, totally comprising 1/3 of the Swedish air force at the time.”

Us Norwegians don't think anything bad about it. In fact we often refer to Sweden as our big brother too and that we are he younger one, and usually it's pretty nice. However, whenever there's a competition (especially sports involved skiing) our Norwegians have only one goal to accomplish. And that's to beat Sweden!
There's even a new tv program that's all about Norway vs Sweden, which is all about this brotherly competition between the two countries

I like this one. It's like you're actually talking to them.

@SpikeylovesSatW It IS a pleasant format.

Those darn demons

Wait... Norway is knitting himself a fish plushie!

@Wortel A fish holder maybe? To keep it warm?

@InDeathWeReturn oh of course! A fish sweater for when they go visit Svalbard!

@Wortel or when he gets fried fish

@InDeathWeReturn oh true, that could be too.

@Wortel So cute! XD

Finland: "Say that one more time, Sweden. One...more...effin'...time."

finland will end all

Sweden you got only 1/3 right, you don't pass the test. You are bigger yes, But we have the best Education System not only in North but in all of known world and we would beat you 6-1 in war, and don't take Russia or Nato in it!

@Mixu GO FINLAND YEAH!

@Mixu actually, that depends on which list you look at... my google search just told me the best education system in the world is still south korea, then japan, then singapore, then hong kong... but finland is listed 5th, way above sweden at least. XD
i wouldnt say 'wiser' is exactly 'smarter' tho... you can memorize every book in the world and still be dumb as a rock, and you could be an enlightened sage without ever going to school.

just my sleep-deprived two cents lol xpp

@kier
At least we Finns don't have to pay for our educations in a way Americans and Asians have to. And it has freedoms to what you want to study. Except for the mandatory mathematics, Finnish, English, Swedish and science. Everything else pretty much becomes optional at one point.
