Do Danes really consider themselves to be part of Scandinavia? That’s like learning that the people of the Netherlands are like “it’s all Holland”.

Danes consider themselves to be the Ur- and archetypical Scandinavians but are largely viewed as the Florida of Nordics by the others.

As a counter,  American states that have recognised the Armenian Genocide Platystemon posted:Who wouldn’t join the PP? Serbia? (I mean, they did eventually, in 2006, but I'm pretty sure that was more to tell the EU that they'll promise to play nice and not genocide the Muslims again if they let them in.)

Anything's better than the Dano-Norwegian or Belgian timid shuffle guy who's certainly not going to cross the street in time. The Czech one also looks a little hesitant.
