“I think the Danes have always considered themselves a step above the Swedes, in smarts and in combat.”
- We conquer mountains containing precious ore, wrestle Russia, Germany and Rome.
We dare to build what no one else could build, whilst our silly neighbors bark.
Stockholm of today rivals Silicon Valley and we Swedes also enjoy the highest standard of living on Earth of all nations. Danes and Norwegians don’t exactly.
What does Sweden have that Norway doesn’t?
A good neighbor.

BTW, you luck out ~ with respect to "Swedes" ~ probably 90% of the world's population with substantial Swedish ancestry live here. If Sweden had to house them it'd be like a Middle Eastern Palestinian refugee camp.
NOTE: Danish emigration in the 1800s went mostly to Central Indiana and Wisconsin. In an analysis done recently on “leading names” they were able to identify Indianapolis as pretty much the ANDERSON/ANDERSEN capital of the Western World! Indiana even has a city named Anderson. Lot of truly gigantic pig farms in the same county.
Swedish men hide behind their women.
