Sweden

Moderate in everything, honest and hardworking. Comfortable, phlegmatic, pacifistic, calm, progressive, although because of this he is considered boring, because nothing happens to him. A quiet, peaceful life and that’s it. However, he was not always like this. Even 300 years ago, Sweden was associated not with this at all, but with strict traditional values ​​and a very aggressive foreign policy, which almost brought them to collapse. Once upon a time he tried to live up to his status as a descendant of the ancient Vikings and was a threat to all of Europe. But he had to forget about military expansion and pay very dearly for it. He was able to put himself back together when it seemed like life was over. He is disgusted and afraid of the war, because the war destroyed Sweden in the past. Hates absolute monarchy. In Sweden, citizens trust each other very much. Once upon a time, he was a religious fanatic, ready to cut others left and right for the “wrong” faith (mostly Catholics, he was a Lutheran). In terms of neutrality, they are very similar to Switzerland, one might even say that they are twins. Although, the Scandinavians retained some traditions from the Vikings. For example, the role of women among the Vikings was much more significant than in many other countries, which is why among the Scandinavians women emancipated themselves much faster and took and will continue to take their rightful place in their society. He always adheres to the rational golden middle.

In Sweden they would rather hug you than shake your hand. This is unlikely to happen at the first meeting, but at the second or third it is quite likely. But handshakes are considered appropriate only during official meetings. Swedes prefer numbers to words. For example, they will describe their apartment not as spacious or in a good area, but by the number of square meters, and when giving directions, they will say that you need to turn left after 1300 meters. And even the Swedes describe their weeks accordingly: not “I’ll take a vacation in June,” but “I’ll take a vacation in the 26th week.” But everything is accurate and there is no ambiguity left. Scandinavians have a special national character. It manifests itself in the form of restraint, hard work, conscientiousness, honesty, and a developed sense of self-esteem. Persistent, decisive, measured, methodical, thrifty, economical. Many Scandinavians would rather create unnecessary difficulties for themselves than bother someone with their request. Moreover, it’s not a matter of arrogance - on the contrary, among Scandinavians it is not customary to consider themselves somehow special. Alexander Skarsgård also noted this in his interview. It's just that Scandinavians are used to relying only on themselves and don't like to bother other people. They are more likely to make a detour than to ask someone to step aside to pass, and they are more likely to carry their suitcase themselves than to wait for the help of a porter. Denmark became the first country in Europe to legalize same-sex civil unions - here it happened back in 1989. Danish gay spouses even have the right to raise children. But in Sweden, same-sex bride and groom are blessed by the Lutheran Church - however, after they have officially registered their partnership. In Norway, gays are treated the most strictly - they are not allowed to adopt children, and only civil unions are allowed.

Scandinavians have no such thing as “awkward silence.” If a Scandinavian has nothing to say, he won’t say anything. It would not occur to them to engage in “small talk” or talk about some mundane subjects in order to fill an awkward pause. Even though Scandinavians are often dissatisfied with their weather, they are happy. Their ability to enjoy life is easy to adopt if you try to live like them.
