      I come from the Pacific Northwest in the US and people around here have a pretty utopian vision of the Nordic countries. I’m sorry to hear you’ve got a bunch of greedy fuckers in charge, too. 😔

        It’s a global issue, but takes many forms. IMHO Iceland is worst in this aspect in the nordics. I like Denmark the most. Every place I’ve lived has it’s own set of problems.

              Sure! Here’s a couple:

              Probably not like Iceland as much landscape-wise, but I’ve been told by people from Sweden and Norway that they felt super at home up here. There’s a very large Nordic influence in this region from the early settler days, so the climate and attitude I’ve heard is quite familiar to people visiting.

              Here’s another one: the area where I live has some of the best oysters in the world and they get sent as far away as Japan because of how good they are.
