Turbonegro. Pride of Norway.





Slartibartfast. He made the fjords.





Ludvig Borga. Pride of Finland.



Also about a thousand weird sexy female led pussy metal bands between those countries. And Ville Valo. And The Rasmus ... but we'll forget about them.

People love scandanavia because it's the only "white" countries left. it's quite racist. Same reason they like Canada more than thAN THE US. They don't know anything about these countries, just that they are much whiter. lol

1. It's not a country

2. Most of the countries in Scandinavia have quite high immigration rates

I hope to sample some of the fine Scandinavian landscapes some day. Have some nice coffee and then later maybe sex with their attractive, healthy, progressive natives.

(according to the UN's 2005 worldwide report) Sweden's percentage of the population that is foreign-born is 12.3%. Denmark is 7.16, Norway 7.37, Iceland 7.67 and...let's ignore Finland's 2.96

US is 12.35, Canada is 18.76, Australia is 19.93. UK is only 8.98.

Not really incredibly low compared to them

Of course 2005 stats are not relevant for the UK today following the 2007 enlargement of the EU....

^^ About to post that. Oslo's non-native population is 30% and Stockholm's 25%. I also think that Norway is officially the most tolerant country on Earth.

tbh I'm quite insulted that I have been called a racist for loving Scandinavia. Infact if anything its completely ironic and shows a lack of understanding. I love that part of the world partly because the population is so diverse.

People look up to Scandinavia because it is hyper developed, liberal, free, green, progressive, beautiful, creative, multicultural, peaceful, productive, wealthy, has a well education population and great health system. I'm insanely jealous of them.

It is so beautiful... And has managed to keep green spaces in the city.
I feel in the UK we have got it wrong as our cities and green belts are separate.
