    Do you think the Nordic Countries uniting is possible? If so, would you want it to happen?

      Should the EU collapse I want to see this happen. With Sweden and Finland in NATO, I’m not sure what extra benefit a Nordic union would bring.

      I think it’s a good idea. With the U.S, Russia and China being ever more threatening, then we need protection which we can only get in numbers by a union. I trust the Nordic countries and my Nordic brothers and sisters more than the other powers in the EU.

      With that said, Sweden has to stop imploding and doing their hopeless policies in regards to migration and gangs.

      Best regards

      In practical terms, we have one already. You’ll be just as home in one country as another.

      Main benefit would be in sports.

      Yes I’m hoping it happens. With the state of the world we need to put aside our differences so we can become stronger.

      We need it to defend our way of life in the near future. 

      Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Iceland and Greenland as one country please.

      (But can you please make a map where we don’t have swedish colors, ew)

      A Nordic union would be a great idea! Unfortunately it will never happen, because of the norwegian oilfund and nationalism.

      Well we already have the [Nordic Council. ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_Council)

      We are already so close to each other, at the moment there is not much gained by merge into “one country”, just a lot of headaches to figure out a new government, laws, taxes, currency, etc, other than looking cool on a map, what tangible benefits are there? We already have freedom of movement, trade, and so on with each other.

      What we absolutely need at this moment is a Nordic army, where we fight as one and will defend each other’s land as if it was our own. Might as well invite the Baltics as well.

      Not sure if I see the benefit. Sure, I love our nordic neighbours, but there are still distinct differences between us, such as language, geography and culture. I don’t see how mixing that into one nation whilst also having to combine the institutions and laws of every country. In the short term, it seems like a logistical nightmare, and long term I fear that having a nation with 5 different languages will only create conflict between citizens.

      I’d rather see that we continue our close diplomatic ties instead, so that we can use our combined strength to have more of a say geopolitically.

      Ja tak til Norge–Danmark. Er dog ikke helt sikker på, om jeg vil have Sverige med.

      Svært ved at se fordelene ved dette når Finland allerede er en del af NATO og vi også er med i EU.

      Lidt off topic, så kunne det egentlig være meget cool hvis flaget ikke bare var rektangulært men måske havde samme antal sider som de lande der var en del af unionen.

      I’m all for it, but it’s not enough to be globally relevant or an alternative to the EU.

      In an increasingly multi polar world with many great powers, the EU is the only way for Europe to matter and have real political sovereignty. A Nordic Union isn’t even France or UK sized in terms of population or geopolitical importance.

      It would also be a puppet state of the US, without some larger shared political framework like the EU representing us on the global stage.

    28. Blarghflit on

      For simplicity we should just go with the oldest flag between the countries also we should include Scotland. They’ve been wanting to get the hell out of UK forever and we have close historical ties with them.

    29. NighthunterDK on

      Wouldn’t mind it, but that flag needs a redesign. Let’s just stick with the danish. The yellow is an eyesore

    30. HakkedeTomater123 on

      Hvorfor skriver du på engelsk? Det er absurd at bruge engelsk og ikke et skandinavisk sprog med sådan et spørgsmål.

    31. Double-decker_trams on

      Well it would cause some problems. First – Norway has a lot of oil and is just richer. So don’t really see the likelihood of Norway wanting to join. And Finland and Denmark maybe would not agree with Swedish immigration policies.

      Also – Norway, Iceland, Greenland and Faroe islands aren’t in the EU – Denmark, Sweden, Finland are Would be a bit weird to be a unified country with some parts being in the EU and others not.

      I guess with NATO it’s easier now (Sweden and Finland became members recently because of Russia).

      But in reality – it’s just not needed. They work together quite a lot. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_Council](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_Council)

      What madman decided the colors in that flag. We have a good okd kalmar union flag we can bring up

    38. cbhem on

      I’ll be the first to join the resistance if the base color of the flag is going to be yellow.

    40. Dyn-O-mite_Rocketeer on

      Given how dysfunctional the EU is, that things are likely to deteriorate much further once Ukraine is somehow resolved, that 1/3 of German voters want the AfD and no one in France looks to be able to beat Bardella in a little over a year, yes, the short answer is yes.

      But we should consider a union with all nations who have a Baltic and North Sea coastline.

    42. QuantumGoose42 on

      If this happen: We would be one of the largest sovereign territories on earth, we would control Arctic Ocean Access, the GIUK gap, Baltic Sea as well as North Atlantic air and naval corridors, 27 million in population, top 10 in GDP, one of the highest GDP per capita in the world, Unified Nordic Airspace, so one of the best defended airspace’s in the world, long range arctic surveillance,air force with around 350 fighters focusing on air denial, fleet mix of F-35 and the Swedish made Grippen, our ground forces would be around 250k, with a reserve force of 600-900k due to Finlands reserve, which outnumber US reserves, our Naval power wouldn’t be huge, with 15 ish submarines and 40 ish ships, not counting smaller patrol/ coast guard units, but with specialty in winter warfare, precision striking, guerrilla fighting and high function squad independency, it would be very hard to defeat our armies in a conventional war.

      That’s just the military, the economical advantages are also numerous

    43. IDontCheckMyMail on

      Ugly flag and horribly misspelled.

      Pass lmao.

      In all seriousness though, it’s a good alternative if EU collapses. I just don’t see why Norway would go for it with their oil cash, and we would certainly have to get Swedish immigration and the spinoff social and criminal problems from that under control.
