[@pedroavillarroelh]

@@Merecir There are no taxes "keeping the poor poor so they vote socialism" we have a mix economy that taxes rich and big corporations so that the poor can study for free and stop being poor. That is why America is full of homeless and we are not. Americans keep asking how much we pay in taxes, to feel better? first I'll say that the important part is how much money you end up with in your pocket AFTER paying those taxes, because most upper mid, mid and low class Swedish people make more AFTER our big taxes than equivalent Americans after their low taxes, on the other hand you can't put a price on happiness, taxes are high, but we keep getting high up on all kind of happiness lists. Also not having the expenses that Americans have, like school loans or excessive medical prices, we usually have more money to buy things, Sweden is a mix economic system, not socialism or capitalism, we are "lagom" the taxes only unintuitively, help us be great consumers of goods and luxury. In any case there is a lot of Swedish people that may love the idea of an American owned Scandinavia, the thing is that Swedish people with money are the ones that travel to USA, and when they are there they enjoy, they don't live the rough life that 60 % of Americans live everyday. The rich Swedish people look how the rich Americans live and they wish they could pay zero taxes like Amazon does. They come back here wishing Sweden was America. If the other way around was possible, if the the middle low and low class Americans could come here and see how swedes low and middle low class live and then go back, a big revolution would happen there. But the thing is that most Americans don't have the money to come to Europe, hell, every time I go there I meet people thay have barely leave their own state. You keep living the American DREAM We in the meantime are living a beautiful reality, no need for a dream.

@@AnonyMous-ql9nj I would guess that what we call norden would be just "nord" for danes and norwegians because they don't bend words the same way we do. So maybe we would have to settle for simply "Nord". That said I think we could use our respective term because there is no need to get one language since they are so simillar, for me norwegian just feels like another accent. So a norwegian could say "Vi i nord" while us Swedes would say "Vi i norden" just like we do today.

Sure, stockholm is the largest city, however, copenhagen and malmø combined in addition to other cities around the øresund strait would be substantially bigger, and in the most densely populated region as well which is common for other capitals. Keep in mind that stockholms nickname as the capital of scandinavia is one they made themselves. I’d argue everyone in norway at least, would look towards copenhagen/malmø as a capital if there was one

[@RickSigma]

Well Stockholm is after all pretty much in the center of mainland Nordic countries.

[@Soonshain]

@@RickSigma That would certainly make it a good candidate for the capital, but to be honest I don't think Denmark, Norway and Finland would want the capital to be Stockholm because of Sweden's "Big brother attitude"

OG JT gothenburg is better. Its central and close to Norway and Denmark. Besides sweden is the biggest nation, and should have the capitol

[@petfama4211]

Adrian @Oblivion well, look towards any other country and you’d be surprised about how often the capital is not in the center of the country but rather somewhere along the edge of it, more often than not in the most densely populated area. The most densely populated area in the nordics is a tie between eastern denmark and southwestern sweden, so...

[@Adrian-rb4qp]

Petfama sure many counties have capital cities not in the center. And yes the space between Copenhagen and Not only southern Sweden but all the way to Oslo is the most densely populated. In the middle of the way between Oslo and Copenhagen is Gothenburg. That’s why it’s great. The shot distance form already existing big cities won’t crate to much of a change.0

[@JrgenDurkeHansen]

We do have northern lights in Denmark sometimes. I have experienced this 3 times in Aarhus. And yes it would be a great idea to unite the Nordic countries into one union, and have the old capitals as regional capitals, just as there is regional capitals in USA. For the united capital, we can those to go on turn.

[@martinottesen1053]
