Some good new from Sweden, we have not had a COVID-19 death for 7 days now

18. My biggest wish for the Nordics is...

A Nordic superstate.

My father (he is Swedish, mummy is Bajan, and I grew up in London), who is a proponent, as is his grandfather, likes the name Nordica.

It would have been (the movement started right after WWII, and still exists) Sweden, Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Estonia, Greenland, Faroe Islands, Åland Islands, and Svalbard. It would combine the best of all our cultures and strengths, but Sweden's immigration policy has put paid any hopes for that, I am afraid, for now, and probably for good. That and Norway doesn't want to share their oil revenues, lolol.

A damn shame as we would have had around 30 (actually more than that by the time it happened, probably 35 or so) million people, a HUGE GDP (for its size) insane combined natural resources and wealth, and a global powerhouse on almost every front and level, including quality of life, governance, and wealth equality. We also would have had (perhaps) our own currency which would be partially backed by gold, silver and natural resources components, so only semi-fiat, and thus far less likely to be manipulated via FOREX shenanigans.
