There's norway that's true. Also we can export whale. It's just that nobody will buy any. Dunno why, it's hella tasty.

I think we'd have some issues exporting pilot whales seeing how we're supposed to only hunt minke whales.

Eyebrows would be raised.


I never got around to trying whale meat, bit of a pity. You can buy it from ice cream vans here for whatever reason.

So what is going on in Perfect Countries? Aside from Sweden getting tuff on crime, Denmark confiscating gold teeth and Norway having slightly less than all of the money?

Dunno about Denmark and Sweden, but here's some of what's apparently going on here in Norway:

Norway will not negotiate any trade negotiations with the UK until UK-EU Brexit negotiations are complete.

Norwegian police consider body cameras.

Our claims of "not being in the EU" are getting closer and closer to being basically pedantry.

Norway prepares for the resource wars.

Nobody visits us anymore.

Our vaguely infamous immigration minister might call it quits, as she wants to spend more time with her family.

The conservative leader of the Norwegian parliament's finance committee wants us to cut corporation taxes so our corporations won't all flock to the UK whenever the Brits get around to making a new budget. Yes, really.

"Butter producers Norrmejerier and Arla have both forewarned that a shortage of the salty stuff is due to occur over the festive period and into the new year because there simply isn't enough milk to meet customers' high seasonal demands.

According to Arla head of press Daniel Emilson, three conditions have combined to make the demand unmatchable."

Sparven om julmorgonen is my favourite anyway, there's nothing that reminds you of Christmas than thinking of your dead brother who has come to haunt you as a starving little bird which is why you should put out some seeds for the beautiful little dinosaurs.

A Buttery Pastry posted:

Both France and Britain were sympathetic to the Danish position, and Austria wasn't super enthusiastic about the war, presumably because Austria realized Prussia was making a real play for dominance in Germany. Actually, that might have partly have been part of the equation for France and Britain too. Had the war dragged on, a negotiated peace would not have been out of the question, which would have served the two-fold purpose of making it clear that Denmark couldn't stand on its own, and showing who its natural ally was.

Of course, as we all know, Sweden had long since lost its backbone and begun the downslide into national oblivion which characterizes the country today.

Thanks for the info; I've gotta admit most of my knowledge from the Schleswig wars comes from skimming Wikipedia articles while playing Victoria 2.
