Only one way to settle this, we both spend one week in Valdresflyi armed only with a knife no other aid is allowed, the one who survive is superior.

Sweden certainly has much better music than Norway. However, all Scandinavian music is inferior to British. :D

[ficuscarica]

Sweden is really superior. Just a cooler country. Norway is nice, too, but Sweden is just too good.

[Pallantides]

Well we have better folk music than Sweden and we are also generally more traditional

...

... and last but not least we have a larger Saami population than them... take that Sweden! :tongue

You're being overly dramatic. Most countries of the world had folk and traditional music. Classical music is what really defined Europe and set it leagues ahead of everyone else, not folk.

Besides, Metal is apart of European culture too. It was invented by Brits :lol:

[Pallantides]

Our folk music is quite unique, also no European folk music sound exactly the same as every area have very different cultures from each other. Also inside Norway there is great variation in both traditional dress and music, in the old days a person from Sogndal might have felt like he was in totally different land if he went to Trysil for example.


We are not just Europeans, we are Norwegians with our own unique history, culture, traditions and music.

This American in partial to Norway:) I have been all over most of the southern 2/3rds of Norway....it is second to none, IMO.

[finþaų]

Sweden has certainly been more powerful than Norway historically, but I don't think my country is superior. We were unaffected by the stacked crises of WWII, and thus able to build a well-functioning society. As recently as the late 19th century large segments of our nation suffered from mass starvation.

All Scandinavian countries are comparatively well-off, structured, rich and peaceful. The Norwegians do however have some strange laws in action that are akin to the mediaeval era; forced Sabbath for certain enterprises, for example. :P

[Food]

Pointless thread

[Jedthehumanoid]

They're probably both equally superior to just about everywhere else:cool:

I've been to Denmark and Finland many, many times but not Sweden or Norway however I've met many Swedes and Norwegians over the years and despite them being academics they're very charming;) Using Denmark and Finland as an example Norway and Sweden must be so far up the food chain:D

In Denmark two weeks ago I was told that all Norwegians are born millionaires;)

What about clothes,what clothes you will get ?
I must admit that I like a lot both Norway and Finland and I like also Sweden.
I can not tell anything bad about Sweden because romanians also have some swedish blood (even if very few maybe is 5% maybe lesser) from goths.

There were genetics tests done,there is I1+I2B in Romania,for example in Neamt County there is around 7.5% summed I1+I2B.
And there are other HGs that can be from goths,as some R1B .
The largest gothic treasure found is in Romania,in Buzau county:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pietroasele_Treasure
That treasure have some pieces written in Futhark alphabet.
(that is runic alphabet).
In Transylvania are more archaeological discoveries linked to gepids which are also a scandinavian tribe,related to goths:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gepids#Archeological_sites
In fact if you see there,only in Romania,in Transylvania are discoveries linked to gepids which shows gepids settled in Transylvania.
There were also gothic kingdoms that included the land of Romania/Dacia plenty of goths settled in Balkans.
There is also this strange resemblance between the definite article from romanian,south slavic language and scandianvian languages:
http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fil:EuropeArticleLanguages.png
As you can see in romanian the way in which you use the articles is identical to scandinavian languages (norwegian,swedish and danish).
Very possible is a gothic influence.

And I am not leaving this forum,no worries.

What about Estonia?

Estonians are not as cool Finns.

[Stefan]

I like Denmark. :)

[The Lawspeaker]

I like the Scandinavian countries a lot and when it comes to the structure of their societies, the amount of living space and their welfare states they should be blueprints for how the Dutch should do it. I think that when we reform we could model ourselves after Denmark (we have a lot in common) and adopt the Finnish education system.

[Lumi]

I vote Sweden.

[rhiannon]

Finland is superior to both Norway and Sweden:cool::D

Why?

[ioan assen]

I ve been only to Finland (came back 2 days ago actually) and boy the country is amazing: beautiful, the people look happy, its very clean etc. I totally loved it. I would like to visit Sweden and Norway too.

[Styggnacke]

Of course Sweden is superior to Norway; our wealth is explained because of the hard work and industrial minds of the Swedes, while the Norwegians lived their happy lives as hillbilly fishermen, until one day when they had the luck to stumble upon some oil. ;)

On a more serious note, the GPS doesn't seem to be a Swedish invention. :(

You have a point about your industry, but the unemployment rate in sweden is a lot higher currently, it's hard to compete vs cheap labor from various asian countries.

The oil is both a curse and a blessing, it creates lots of work both offshore and onshore, but it also fuels all the immigrant leeches that come here.

But yeah, having a strong industry is more respectable imo.

[Dacul]

Well norwegians had a very hard past,so this is why they do not have such a development as Sweden has.
But I think on non-verbal IQ norwegians are highest from Europe,together with Finland.

[Balmung]

No clue about Swede-Swedes & Norwegian-Norwegians, but Swedish-Americans/Canadians are superior to Norwegian-Americans/Canadians.

We had better actors and still have better import actors today. Norwegian Cannucks/Muricans can't compete with Malin Akermann & Alexander Skarsgard. There are also better Swedish Cannuck/Murican athletes.

Alexander is reluctant about buying a house in America, but soon we shall have him for ourselves! Eventualy they all turn!

[Styggnacke]

I wasn't totally serious with that post, but we kind of have a stronger foundation for the future. In a crisis we could just decide to not import anymore from the Asian countries and start full-scale production in our industries again, while when you don't have any oil money left, there has to be a huge economic transformation.

[Dacul]

Norway has a great touristic potential.

With our prices we can give up on the whole idea of tourism. Theres not much to see or do here, and the people are boring and anti social.

Not much to see in Norway? How about the most beautiful landscapes in the North.... but I have to agree about the prices...they're killing tourism :)

Myself, I've been all around the North (Baltic region included) except Norway - for the aforementioned reason. It hurts my heart that I haven't been able to visit such a magical place, but sadly I can not afford it... :(

I would love to visit Scandinavia, because of the nice landscape (magnificent Fjorde) conveniant temperature, nice people but prices are a big obstacle.
But it remains to be seen. Thist is not going go last forever If Norway runs out of oil the whole picture will change.

[Sultan Suleiman]

Okay let's drop ThePirateBay argument (which from my perspective ensures Sweden's place as #1 Bjorkland) and go one the second important one.

Which of these nations prepares better tuna?

[Loki]

I agree that Oslo itself is the most boring of the Scandinavian capitals. Copenhagen and Stockholm much better, but they are large cities.

The good thing about Oslo is the Viking Ship Museum (Vikingskipshuset). That's about it.

[Graham]

Norway's so rich. With that oil wealth fund, they're not inferior to any country.

Infact, they should go and buy Sweden. :P

[Absinthe]

I also don't think Norwegians are boring, or antisocial. The Norwegians I've met are very friendly people, and hardly boring. I generally think Norwegians to be the coolest of the Scandinavians (sorry Swedes ;)).

[morski]

Ushtari, the Scandos are inferior to Balkanites when it comes to having a good old neighbour shitstorm party.:bored: Where is Hevneren when we need him.:D

[TheNepenthe]

In fact, wealth which they use to fund immigrants; also people pay taxes to provide for life of those who later rape, beat and humiliate them.

They will be not only inferior but non-existent in few decades. Oslo demographically already looks like Kabul and Riyadh (with some Norwegian tourists passing here and there).

That oil could have been a blessing, but it turned out to be a poisoned chalice.

And Sweden is even worse. Stupidity of Swedish leftists is notorious. And leftists are many there, as many as indifferent people who ignore them.

[Ulex]

Superiour in regard to what?

One thing I know for sure is that Norwegian nationalist movements suck, if you compare them to those of Sweden. Where are the big rally's, the fund raising concerts and the big activist cells? Not in Norway, unfortunately. It is as if the Norwegians are sleeping and not at all realizing what is going on in their own country.

The Norwgians don't even have a somewhat nationalistic party to vote for at the elections. They need a party like that to stir up things a bit and say what has to be said, even if it doesn't have the slightest chance of getting any parlamentary influence. Every country does.

[Pallantides]

There have been some nationalist parties in Norway post ww2, but they are all disbanded now.

You are absolutely right that Sweden is the most politically correct latrine in Scandinavia, and the country where the government most fanatically tries to silence any nationalist opposition, whether it's on a street level or in public debate.

But this is precisely the reason, why the soil is so good for nationalist movements to grow. Frustrated Swedes have not got the option to express their views, as multiculturalist supporters does. Hence they turn to communities, where they can meet like minded people. We all need that from time to time.

Of course not all are, I just generally dislike the typical dull and overly pc behavior of many. Most Scandinavians are drone without character. Comparing to swedes anyone may seem lively, well they are a up tight bunch, but not as boring as Finns, which to a large extent must be considered social abnormalities. Weirdest people I've ever met. And I did think it was just a stereotype, but it isn't.

Okay first of all:

Finns are not boring!! :D

I really wonder who gave you that idea... I've had the best times in Finland with my friends and always my impression was that they are much more "mediterranean" in temperament, if you may, than other Northerners :p

If anything they know how to party and they have a sinister sense of humor (which you have to get accustomed to first, of course :p).

As for the Norwegians I've met... they are very friendly and polite, educated, and they are adventurous.

It doesn't surprise me as Norway has a huge tradition of explorers. Anyone with that kind of adventurous culture cannot be boring.

Of course we need to define what "boring" means to each one of us, cause we might have rather different definitions :)

Icelanders and Faroese are not Scandinavians. Only Norwegians, Swedes and Danes are. "Scandinavian" is an ethno-cultural term referring to the three Scandinavian nations. No more, no less.

Icelanders and faroese languages are very closed to old norse,which norwegians were also speaking in the past.
Sure present day norwegian,swedish and dane languages (which are mutually inteligible) are very closed and not mutually inteligible with icelandic or faroese,but that because of Germany influence me thinks.
Old swedish was much more closed to old norse than how today swedish is compared to icelandic language,me thinks again.

Obviously Romanul (and many others) in this thread are not aware that "The Nordic Countries" is not the same thing as "Scandinavia".

Well if you take Gothenburg ,there are one of the most smart people of european race.
No way you can find an area in Norway which is superior to Gothenburg.

norway is superior its richer than sweden

[MissProvocateur]

I will have to say I agree, simply because my closest friends are Swedish. :D
Besides, Swedish men are absolutely gorgeous!

[Pallantides]

Norwegian men are better looking than Swedish ones

also we are better at mountain survival. :p:D

[Žołnir]

Altho this is troll thread i am going to answer; Economically Sweden far superior. Ppl actually know some swedish brands while for Norway this isn't. I hope this dosen't offends Norwegians cuz their culture and nature is absolutely great but before 70ties Norway was poor banana state.

[Graham]

People who say, that any country is Economically superior to Norway. Don't know how rich Norway is or their assets.

[Žołnir]

Atm Norway is really rich but we must realise why. :)

[Styggnacke]

Bokmål looks like Danish written by a 5-year-old. Spoken Norwegian sounds like a jolly, high-pitch version of Swedish. So, in that aspect, they certainly aren't superior...

:p

Aaaaand, I really like the Swedish language, don't know why. (Even though Norweigan, in my opinion, sounds far happier)

Aaand, Stockholm is freakin' beautiful. :D

We have the same joke, but the reverse.

Why does the Norwegian open the milk carton in the store?
- Because it says "Open here" on it.

[MissProvocateur]

damn Nordicists. :D

I would say it's pretty equal when it comes to "who is blonder"! I'm just saying, they all look like models. Seriously, I never met an ugly Swede. Ever. Average, perhaps, but never ugly. And they usually dress well. Though I never met an ugly Norweigan guy either.

Hm.

Still, some Swedes are just fgfghgfdjfhgjkgfhjkgh

Besides, being a Nordicist would be stupid of me since I don't look Nordic AT ALL. :P

OKAY! OKAY.

So, Swedes are only good looking until their 30-50s

Then they get fat and bald.

It's just that many are good looking, okay? (Obviously not all :P)


But that's exactly what Nordicism is about, over the top admiration for something you're not.

Meh. Stupid. Wanting to be something you could never be would only make you become bitter, not worth it. Most Nordicists I met were actual Nordics though.

On these forums the vast majority of nordicists are not from Scandinavia.

[Ouistreham]

The difference between Sweden and Norway (+ Denmark) is like the difference between Germany and the Netherlands, or between Spain and Portugal :
• in the West nations of merchants and seamen, in the East nations of continental horse-riders (cavaliers, Reiter, riddarna...) who value nobilty over gold, prefer manufacturing to trade, and who are traditionnally unlucky at sea (Spanish Armada, Scapa Flow, Wasa warship...).

There is a similar gap between France and England BTW.

[MissProvocateur]

Well, in SF (Which I don't go to anymore), most of the Nordicists were Nordics themselves. There was this Swedish girl who claimed that blonde women were more attractive than any other woman, no matter what their face/body looked like. Others in there claimed all civilizations and societies (like the greek one) were created by bllondes with blue eyes... Anybody who is that ignorant and close minded doesn't deserve any respect, imo. Nordicists, just like anyone else who judges people based on the phenotype or subrace, are usually stupid.

In the period from 1100 to 1200 Norway was the most powerful of the Scandinavian realms.

Before we started getting petroleum profits we had one of the biggest shipping fleets in the world, we also were among the leading European industries in minerals and chemical exports, among other things, you clear dont know much about our financial history.

Some brand names from Norway you might know:

Atm Norway is really rich but we must realise why. :)

Today we are rich mostly because of investment made from the oil, not so much the oil in itself anymore, this is one of the biggest pension funds in the world and it has its fingers in most large corporations, as well as owning many major realestate locations ect ect:

Well i said quite harsh banana state but i didn't mean it was poor i mean for me Slovenia is banana economy too. However i am confident Norway would face far harsher reality without oil. But anyways Norway is cooler from Sweden (altho both are cool) in terms of culture and nature so np economy isn't all. :p

You guys have Zizek (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavoj_%C5%BDi%C5%BEek), that has to count for something ;)

norway is superior its richer than sweden

Money isn't everything. Ireland has a higher GDP per capita than Britain but obviously Britain is the more important country. Norway and Sweden aren't too different in terms of importance or population though.

Norway is important because we are an economic super power, some examples:

I think in 2013 we have decided to give Romanian as an example over 2,3 Billion NOK in aid to help its country towards modernization, 127 Million of which is ear marked for the Roma community.


EEA and Norway Grants 2009–2014

According to the Agreement on the EEA Grants 2009–14, annual tranches of €197.7 million will be made available to the 12 newest EU member states as well as to Greece, Portugal and Spain. Poland and Romania are the biggest recipients, with €116 million and €61 million of funding, followed by Hungary, Czech Republic and Bulgaria with €25–30 million in support.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EEA_and_Norway_Grants

We also give aid world wide:
http://www.norad.no/en/tools-and-publications/norwegian-aid-statistics

and invest allot in various countries, as i listed before with our pension fund..


Norway’s sovereign-wealth fund, the world’s biggest, agreed to buy 50 percent of a European property portfolio from Prologis Inc. (PLD) for 1.2 billion euros ($1.6 billion) for its first industrial property purchase.

The $680 billion fund will buy stakes in 195 properties in 11 European countries, including Spain, Italy, Poland, the U.K. and France, the Oslo-based investor said in a statement today. Prologis, based in San Francisco, will hold 50 percent of the venture and manage the properties.

Whole Scandinavia should unite and become a single state.
(Norway,Sweden and Denmark).
Normally,south swedes will be most superior,because they have best social skills and they should educate the rest.
Besides,best University from Scandinavia seems to be Upsala (but I think they should try to get mostly nordish teachers there and not bring all kind of weird nations).
As for excessive feminism that is not such a bad thing,but should be tempered a little and women from rest of Scandinavia could take example from women from Norway,how to be less feminist.

Norway: Not part of the EU / Sweden: Part of the EU

Norway: Cradle of Black Metal /Sweden: Cradle of IKEA

Don't take me wrong Swedes, your country and people are fantastic aswell.

Norway could be one of most successful countries in tourism,with those great fjords and nature sceneries.
So is actually nice that they do not have excessive industry,would be such a pity to see those great nature sceneries polluted.
For nature sceneries I like Norway a lot,between my favourite countries,as how beautiful the nature is there.

The vastness, rugged terrain that makes road construction a nightmare, and even the cold weather, doesn't give it a great chance of standing out as a tourist attraction when compared to many other regions in Europe.

We actually have a bunch of jokes like this about Swedes. We also have a lot of jokes which have a Norwegian, a Swede and a Finn. Those jokes usually end with the Swede being the stupid one.

Anyway, this thread is kinda dumb. Neither of those countires is superior to the other.

Of course, I know I do, but it turns out it's not a very successful tourist region for a reason, it's not just because.
