Not so long ago I heard someone on TV say, “EU is all hot a bothered for Norway”
Norway doesn’t want to share it’s oil-money and be dictated by EU, and for a long time Iceland stood by their side. But because of Iceland’s bad economy, they have applied for EU membership.
That worries the Norwegians who is starting to feel pressured into joining. And to make things worse they haven’t found any new oil recourses in a long time now, so they worry they may have run out.
I almost added Denmark at the end going, “Don’t worry Norway. He’s gooood”
I have a wonderful idea. The Uk should pull out of the EU and Iceland and the UK and Norway should form the North Atlantic Alliance. Maybe Denmark could give Greenland independence so it could join too. Then they would control the whole North Atlantic from Canada to Norway.
Since I wrote this four months ago things have changed. Now I think Denmark, Sweden, and Finland should pull out of the EU too. They could all be part of the NAA.
Norway loses his fish on the third panel where he starts freaking out. I like to take it that when he heard his bad news he decided to swallow the entire fish whole in one gulp so his hands would be free so he could start freaking out properly without the fish distraction. I don't know why I think these things.
@Baldikaldi01 I see; sorry for my ignorance, I usually don't know anything much about the West(and am terribly ashamed, I love to know about other cultures).
@Lumoseo - Iceland never joined. There were negotiations, to see what we would be offered, but they've been put on (hopefully permanent) hold. The majority of Icelanders don't want to join the EU.
Liechtenstein and Switzerland build together with Iceland and Norway the EFTA.
Years ago EFTA was bigger, but for example UK, Portugal, Austria and sweden have joined the EU
@SveitsNorwege But England is fed up with King Europe's bad management, wastefulness, and pigheadedness and may soon leave and join the EFTA.
(Scotland might stay with King Europe, but will get hurt and angry when when he learns he won't get much respect.)
