Uh, when Greenland thaws out it will be one of the largest mineral deposits on the planet. The waters around greenland are filled with oil. We could place military bases on Greenland to assert our authority. With Greenland, we could easily claim a lot of domestic water between Greenland and Iceland. For any Canadians wanting to supply europe with recently thawed out goods, Greenland will have vital ports. Etc...

We do need Greenland.

>>559321312
It's not really that bad... Estonia is recovering pretty well from the Soviet era and all predictions point in the right direction. The real danger is that like 40% of the country is Russian. Racially, these are mostly western Russians, the "Rus'", or Swedish viking emigrants so they haven't changed/will change the appearance of Estonians, which means they blend in and can be assimilated... They really need the N.U. to avoid a second Ukraine though, and the N.U. needs them, since a second Ukraine would be very nasty for us.

>>559321410

>>559321807
A few reasons why that's a bad idea:
1. It's difficult to draw, Good flags should be simple.
2. Some people might find it "offensive" or racist which would make us lose a lot of votes, and Greenland would certainly not like it.
3. Most of the Nordic countries have a nordic cross flag. I think we should keep that tradition going.
4. A nordic cross flag seems more realistic.
...It would look badass though...

People would think we're some viking LARP muppets or something... Better with a modern, normal flag for a modern, normal federation...

>>559322309
Two ravens shouldn't be part of the flag but they could certainly be part of the seal/escutcheon.

>>559322260
1: There is no reason simple flags are better
2: People are to sensetive today and are offended by anything. A viking longship would be a great and needed step against political correctness
3: How is a cross nordic? Its on (most of) their flasg, but the nordic countries arent religious (compared to most countries). I see no reason to keep it
4: How makes a flag more/less realistic? Look at the flag of Nepal, its looks odd but its their flag. A longship would represent nordic history and as said be badass

>>559322309
>>559322815
As for national birds, I think it would be cool if different states had different birds. Sweden could have the white-tailed eagle, Norway could have the raven, Iceland could have the northern fulmar (seriously it looks badass), etc. And then make these prominent symbols, like the bald eagle or golden eagle is for the U.S. and Germany.

>>559318713

uh why is estonia included


by that logic why not include russia as well

>>559323306
Why change the national birds they already got one? I know norway has the White-throated dipper which i admit sounds like a suspect movie, but in norwegian the name sounds much better
>>559323539
Estonia seems to want to be a part of the nordics and use their connecton with Finland and geography (further north than denmark, furter west than alot of Finland) as an argument, but they seem to be ignored

>>559323082
1: Yes there is. Simpler flags are easier to recreate, draw, tag things with, use for signaling, to recognize, and simplicity and sharp lines appeals to people and makes the flag easier to incorporate into different designs.
2: Maybe so, but I'm thinking about voter support. No one would vote for a party whose symbol is a viking long ship. We'd be seen as overly nationalist, racist, etc, and would be interpreted as some small group of neo-nazi muppets.
3: The nordic cross is the off-center sideways cross as seen on the national flags of Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland etc. It used to represent christianity, yes but nowadays it represents the nordic countries which are pretty unreligious. The reason for a nordic cross is because it's seen as serious/realistic, down to earth, and representative of the nordic cultures.
4: I mean "realistic" as in, it seems like a flag that could be used for an actual nation and not a made up one...

Scotland might actually be realistic if they gain independence and the N.U. is very decentralized and allows for a lot of self-governance. This would be beneficial strategically and economically - very beneficial, however it would shatter the ethnic connection if the N.U. suddenly gained a member that doesn't speak finno-ugric or scandinavian, and hasn't been a part of a Nordic state for over 800 years.

As for Russia, lol. We might buy Karelia though.

at least the kola region and the territories that finland lost during ww2+ some more for reperations

>>559324820
Those are some badass birds although falcons and hawks aren't species. Finland could get the Snow Owl, Sweden could get the Peregrine falcon or something, Norway could get the white tail eagle (since they're so common in Norway), Iceland could get the raven, Faroe Islands could get the northern fulmar, etc...

>>559325771
Realistically speaking, if we are really friendly with Russia, we might be able to buy back Karelia, perhaps even the other used-to-be-Finnish regions (Russia had plans for selling Karelia in the 90's), and we might gain at least partial control over the Kola peninsula through sapmi... However that's probably as far as we'll reach in the near future... If we want what's left of Karelia, filled with Russians that is.

>>559325789
Seriously look at this bird... It's so badass, like the nazi golden eagle, except it really looks that focused, firm, angry even, in real life without any alterations... I can easily see it stylized as a representative of the Atlantic N.U. states

A step in the right direction. Although to fully capitalize on this, a maritime union between Norway, Iceland, the Faroes and Greenland would be much better. Further, if these countries learned Standardized scandinavian instead of Danish as a second language in school, it would be less politicized and would allow for an easy to learn lingua franca of the N.U.

You guys are forgetting I'm staying within the borders of what is realistic and could actually happen. People won't vote for a viking flag with the words "hail odin" written in futhark, no matter how badass that would be. I'm considering actually making a real N.U. party, and do lots of commercials from rich funders (lots of millionares would fund us, if there's millionaires funding parties like the Sweden democrats now) with sister parties in all the NU countries, with the intermediate goal of a united army, currency, and standardized scandinavian in schools etc, and a final goal of a proper N.U, that would be acquired in an alliance government in several N.U. states with the N.U. party as say third or fourth largest...

>>559327617
My point exactly. A modern nordic flag for a modern nordic party.

"Rösta N.U.!"

>>559318713
As long as Estonia is a part i cannot support it. I've read you arguments for, and they suck.
I don't give a fuck if estonians feel swedish.
If we went to war with russia alone we'd lose with or without them, and they'd probably join in a war where other nations participated (IE NATO countrys), so that argument sucks as well.
Also they have a huge russian population, whom i wouldn't want as a part of our glorious Nordic nation. and they're poorfags.
In short, they bring nothing to the table, only liabilities.

Why the hell is 3rd world Estonia in there? Also Greenland? Just a bunch of unproductive natives.

I feel like Sweden would be bringing everyone down though with their pro 'let all shitskins in no questions asked' attitude.

>>559328560
Greenland's got a fuckton of natural resources, that climate changes only are going to make more accessible.

>>559328067
The military reason for estonia isn't because we intend to go to war. The military reason for Estonia is because it grants us military might, thus we can intimidate Russia more - We'd have more leverage in negotiations. We'd castrate St. Petersburg and the Russian Baltic Fleet, our air bases could easily fuck shit up for Russia, etc. Large portions of the baltic would be our "mare nostrum", preventing Russian military exercises, and Russia would either have to co-operate with us in the arctic, or face isolation in the baltic. I'm considering not including Estonia initially anyway due to the lack of popular support, but still....

If you are serious about this project I am on board (dane-fag). But then it should be a real and modern union, and shouldn't be an exclusive alternative to EU, or some right-wing wet dream. It should be a modern and secular country with human rights etc.
I only see small reasons why this couldn't be done, and they are possible to overcome.

But you need some fucking colours on that flag though! Pic related, my suggestion

>>559328513
Far too similar to svenska motståndsrörelsen or svenskarnas parti (proper nazi parties). The colors I chose were intended to be militaristic (since the flag would be mostly for military purposes), and also because I tried to avoid designing an already existing nordic cross flag, and still get a decently good looking end result... If you want to design something non-cross flag, I suggest using different colors, especially avoiding black.

>>559329089
gayest flag so far

As a non-nordic person, I don't understand why this has not happend.
Is there a lot of political/cultural differences between you guys?
Not trying to bait or troll, Just genuinely curious.
Also, N.U. would be awesome. I would move there.

>>559328958
Ah good point, and they have some claim in the arctic. Okok they're in. Also I take back what I said about us being the most different, Iceland is probably the most different from the Scandinavians, and they would be brought down the most, esp by Sweden.

Norwegian here.

NO!.. just.. NO!..fuck off. I'd consider letting sweden, denmark and finland in under Norwegian rule, meaning ya'll niggas fix your language to sound more like ours, we follow norwegian rules, and your royal family stops stealing tax money, it's bad enough that ours do. But other than that, nope.

>>559329058
yeah, no!
If we put up 50 fighters to counter ships comming out of st. Petersburg, Russia would put up 200... And have plenty to spare. Even with this union we would not be a serious military threat to Russia.

BUT we COULD be an economic threat! Alot of Russian gas pipelines go through the Baltic sea, and they could be threatened.

>>559329485
because of eu and nato. a new union would just complicate shit up

>>559329058
>>559328067
Further, the "huge" russian population is only huge by estonian standards, and most of them look like estonians since they're west russians. The russkies actually make an argument FOR Estonia, since they risk causing a second Ukraine crisis if they're not in the union, something that would be very dangerous for us, and would certainly fuck up our relationship with russia royally.

But again, I'm leaning towards not including Estonia due to the popular outrage... Finland will be kind of lonely as the only finno-ugric speaking country and might not want to join (which would be very bad considering their borders), but hopefully they'll still be up without Estonia.

mainly historical reasons. For hundreds of years it was Denmark-Norway as one kingdom fighting Sweden-Finland as the other. Last one ended i 1815 if I recall correctly. Denmarks later trouble with the germans in the later half of the 19'th century meant that Sweden was absolutely not on board on the idea of a Union. Later a couple of world wars got in the way, and since then we have actually had pretty tight political cooporation

>>559329812

The progressives are only in Sweden. Reason being Sweden was always the first and the best and the most progressive. Thus no one else had tried their roads, and when they started messing with mass immigration and radical feminism they fucked up royally. Thankfully the rest of Scandinavia saw this and has since been more cautious and moderate. Since Swedes will be a minority of the N.U. population, and only about 2/3rds of Sweden are progressive muppets, Swedish "progressive" won't fuck shit up too badly...

>>559330465
I didnt know about Denmark-Norway vs Sweden-Finland. That's pretty interesting.
Do most people still wan't independent or is there an actual movement for unification?

>>559329812
No it wouldn't.
EU already has a union country member (the UK). It would obviously reduce the official number of countries in the EU, but fuck that.

And NATO wouldn't be a problem at all. NATO would be more than willing to let NU be a member. Estonia is the most troublesome territory and they are already a NATO member.

>>559329089
I'm pretty serious. Got nothing better to do anyway so fucking why not try? And I fully agree with you, it's a modern union, not a right wing wet dream, not some LARP neckbeard dressup fantasy, etc. No one would vote for any of that anyway.

As for the flag, I agree mine is pretty "evil" looking and not very representative. But finding an unused nordic cross flag is hard, and yours is really ugly (no offense...)

Germany wanted to change the main language in Norway to German. They also wanted to make a Neu Drontheim/Nordstern German "colony" of sorts. There's good reasons why Norway resisted and even Sweden had smuggling routes and training facilities for resistance fighters along the Norwegian border.

>>559331128
No real big movement, no. I don't think it has been a big topic, since many people probably couldn't see what the advantage would be for them.
To make it probable it would have to be in a way that allowed for semi-autonomous governments still taking care of most domestic politics. In particular immigration, which is a really hot topic.
I'm for the idea because I think it would strengthen our foreign policy, and give us a back-up if the EU stagnates completely.

As a Norwegian, no way Estonia is permitted into this cute little club. Scotland might be considered, but only because of its history. Greenland is fine. It has nice nature.

I also assume this N.U. would not be part of the EU nor part of the Schengen Treaty, which would be mandatory for this to kick off to begin with.

And then we stop taking in useless immigrants, and we kick out the useless immigrants we already have, which are far, far too many.

>>559329485
Not a lot of differences at all. For times some areas have been held by Germany, the USSR, and nowadays the EU and NATO, which fucks things up. There was going to be a nordic military union, until Denmark and Norway joined NATO, but Finland wasn't allowed to according to Russia, so Sweden didn't join NATO either for solidarity reasons and to be able to keep co-operating with Finland, and thus the military union was made impossible...

>>559331321
Denmark is not in debt. We do have a negative on our national budgets (last I checked), but if we did a national balance statement we would have a surplus.
But I agree that Norways economy is still the strongest. But that oil and gas isn't going to last forever.

>>559329496
Like I wrote in the second picture in this thread, Iceland and any other state would be able to regulate their own external and internal immigration laws, meaning no immigration for Iceland. Further, if you read what I told you to read in the second post, you'd realize Sweden is currently fucking shit up more than if they were in the N.U. Iceland isn't that foreign though, their language is old scandinavian, they learn Danish in school, used to be part of Denmark until 1945, etc. Greenland is probably the most isolated...

>>559331826
From what I know, Nordic countries are doing pretty well economically. Some better than others but in general higher standards than most of the world. It would seem like a no brainer if unified it would be a real superpower contender(economically). I mean, it's not like you're unifying with Ireland and Greece like the EU did.

>>559331292

Don't play BF. You guys should at the very least create a facebook group if you want to get this kickstarted.

>>559329739
If you'd just include Sweden, they'd out-vote you and cause mass immigration. Scroll up to the second picture in this thread that explains the immigration, and oil issue (the N.U. wouldn't take any Norwegian oil since it would be a small part of the wealth the N.U. would gather). Norway would still exist too, only you could fly to Iceland on a domestic flight. Sounds neat huh?

hurrdurr monarchies are evil... like the freemason reptilian NWO aliens. the monarchies are for tradition and they represent the countries. the king of norway has landed more deals for his country and done more hours on the job the you will ever do. 200 traveling days a year. what do you want? a president that cant pronounce nuclear? nukular > bush jr.

>>559329764
I don't think you understand. Russia has more borders to guard than ours. United, we'd outnumber and outgun the Russian forces at our borders. We wouldn't "counter" ships either, we'd let them through, on our terms. Same with the pipelines. Russia co-operates, everybody happy. Russia tries to steal our arctic resource or nibble off parts of the baltic states? Well that will be trouble for Russia.

>>559332391
Thorium, we will always be a leader in the energy sector, oil or no.
Also, per capita we are the fifth largest exporter of weapons in the world.
If you want your shit built right (guns and ships for now), you come to us and that will always be valuable.
Denmark has nice beaches and cheap beer and that is about it.

>>559330465
Pretty accurate except during the world wars, Sweden, Denmark and Norways all proclaimed armed neutrality and would have backed each other up if both were attacked. During WWII, a Danish force retreaded into Sweden to defend Sweden from the expected German invasion. Sweden, due to poor co-ordination, thought they were the germans and sent a force to attack them. Luckily no one was hurt before they could realize their mistake, and the German invasion never came which meant the Danes could sit out the war on a beach in Skåne...

>>559333650
Swedes are complete faggot pushovers, see WWII for reference, they probably thought the CCCP would own them too if they joined.

>>559330594
Norway is generally against the EU, the rest are pretty indecisive with around 50-50 votes. Either way they are part of the EU now.

Regarding NATO, Sweden claims "armed neutrality" which is against NATO (although they're pretty much allied to NATO anyway), Finland can't join due to a treaty with Russia, and Norway and Denmark is already part. Thus, a military union is difficult to achieve.

>>559333185
>hurrdurr monarchies are evil
They are fucking unnecessary! Currently we have a completely useless royal family sucking up millions each fucking year just for being born into a "royal family".

We have a crown princess ho's an ex druggie; cheated on heir boyfriends and had a son with her boyfriends mate

We have a princess who claims she can talk to angels and have developed this scheme (angel school) so that others too can learn how to communicate with angels or dead relatives.

Just because something is a tradition doesn't mean it is correct our reasonable - quite the opposite in many instances.

>>559330664
As I wrote in the second post, each nation will keep their monarchies unless that nation votes to end them. It's kind of like the German monarchies. Swedes would probably get sick of their "knug" pretty soon...

Denmark also builds good ships. Particularly warships, I might add. You can do the submarines though. Not really our thing. I would still prefer my tanks german, and planes to be theeurofighter. A discussion for another day though.
Oh, and I see your thorium, and raise you windmills!
Anyway, all of the countries have their merits (possible exception being Estonia), but of course the unification should happen in a way that would not compromise current national economies, but strengthen them.

>>559330771
Uh, current predictions estimate Poland will get rich and developed, and Sweden will collapse without the N.U...

>>559331128
A lot of people would need some convincing before wanting a unified nordic area. There are some small grassroots movements starting up as we speak. In fact, what you're reading right now is probably one of them. In the future, I think a lot more people want a unification. But if we wait too long Sweden will be an Islamic caliphate, and without Sweden a union would be difficult to pull off.

>>559331142
Except the N.U. might not be too eager to join NATO given how they've treated the Norwegian and Danish armies as waste disposal for outdated garbage, and also pressured them to join their oil wars.

>>559331321
Norway would get to keep their oil, since it would be quite irrelevant compared to the minerals and natural resources we'd extract from the thawing arctic. Norway would get richer, everyone would get richer, dolla dolla bill yall.

>>559333642
I was unaware that Estonia even had Nordic roots. I know Sweden and Norway would be the biggest contributors, but in the long run it would be beneficial to all, wouldn't it?

Most of what Russia has, is on the boarder with Europe. Their defencebudget is at some 3,3% of GDP (source: My memory), while the nordic countries are around 1-1.4% of GDP (same source). We could be a regional power, but we couldn't play hardball with Russia on our own. The only thing we could really hurt was their economy. But that IS power.

>>559331756
Well, the N.U. would allow for a public vote in the country with the monarchy for whether or not that monarchy should be allowed to proceed. That is a step forward, since nowadays, it is illegal to organize a democratic election as to whether or not the monarchy should still stand. Then again the only nay-sayers would be Sweden who would lose their knug, but still...

>>559334121
I don't know, I'm to ignorant about the situation to comment. But I would have prolly done the same if I had the Soviet Union at my door and no one to back me up.

>>559334208
What's the treaty with Russia about?

One thing though. Shouldn't Scotland also join? The Scottish National Party have proposed for Scotland to apply to the Nordic council if they gain independence from the UK. Scotland share a lot of history with us Nords, and I think it would only be logical for them to join, for a lot of the same reasons Estonia should. Scotland also has oilfields and other resources that could turn them into a major asset for a Nordic union. Norwegian here BTW.

>>559334682
Windmills is not a fucking natural resource, anyone can build one, you don't dig them out of the ground.
Norway chose the JSF because it made the most sense economically and it fit the parameters of what we needed for a fighter.
We have contracts to deliver the missiles for it.

>>559331826
Regarding immigration, each state would be allowed to deny or allow as many immigrants as they wish (so no immigration for iceland), however the national immigration rate would probably be dictated by national political parties, just like today. And since a large portion of the voters are Norwegians, Finns, (possibly estonians), greenlanders, Icelandics etc, there wouldn't be much immigration. Also, judging by the development in Sweden and denmark, they wouldn't push far in the more immigration-direction.

>>559335812
Oops, didn't notice until now that had been mentioned already.

>>559335182
We already have free trade deal. I don't think Norway is up for the idea of sharing natural resources, and depending on what is found in Greenland, neither will they be, and thereby Denmark (Greenland's former/still unofficial colonial master).
A monetary union could be a deal though, and give us some of the advantages of the euro, without having to be overly associated with southern Europe.

For Estonia (which I might not include further on), see
>>559330417
For immigration, see
>>559335825
and second post in thread under "insert country has too many immigrants!"

To summarize my stance on immigration in TLDR pasta;
In a way you could argue that I'm trying to tell Norwegians, Finns etc. that the N.U. would not have Swedish immigration statistics per capita, and that they should not reject the N.U. on those grounds. However, I have never stated there SHOULD be more or less immigration, only that there WILL be less immigration than the per capita immigration to Sweden at the moment, regardless of whether the Union party wants more immigration or not, due to the majority of the voters being from nations that today are quite anti-immigration.

Further, Sweden is an extreme case, disproportionate and near incomprehensible to almost all other countries on earth in the number of annually granted citizenships' per capita... Clearly, a socialist welfare state with little independence and a complex, very excluding and quite harsh social hierarchy, like Sweden, doesn't really allow for effective integration or a prosperous multiculturalism. Thus, I personally believe that Sweden should accept less immigrants, put more pressure on other EU nations to accept more refugees to help out, and with the help of the N.U. have a strong and proper army branch for international humanitarian deployment, like the current force in Afghanistan, except larger and with more non-combat missions, like building houses, hospitals (2b continued)

(pt. 2)
and schools in for instance refugee camps. There are currently 6 million internal refugees in Syria alone (not to mention the rest of the world). Whether Sweden grants right of asylum to 150 000 of those or not is quite irrelevant. "Like pissing in the ocean", as we say in Sweden. All it does is cost us money through the very generous, extensive, and sadly not thought through or well organized welfare we give, damages our cultural heritage, and spreads Islam and Islamism in Sweden. If we would have a strong humanitarian force, an "insatsstyrka", we could save millions and rebuild entire countries...

So I never pandered to anti-immigration people, and I personally only believe we should take less immigrants than Sweden currently does per capita (note that Sweden has a much higher immigration rate than the rest of the N.U. countries), push other countries to take more refugees, and do a lot more direct "ground zero" humanitarian work (preferably not just paying the corrupt U.N. unreasonable sums for doing nothing like we are now). I never said anything even remotely related to stopping refugee immigration.

Keep in mind this is a pasta far to politically correct for /b/tards.

Current oil reserves are expected to run out in less than 20 years. N.U. oil and mineral reserves outside and on Iceland, Greenland, Svalbard, etc. are batshit insane compared to the relatively speaking tiny Norwegian oil possession, especially if possessing all these territories justifies for expansion of national water borders.

>>559334660
So then that just proves that Norway and Sweden know that together they are better of in such a tough situation.

>>559336390
A Republic seems to work very well for our neighbors Iceland and Finland. If they can do without that antiquated for of rule then so can we.

>if the royal family was unnessery and untwanted why does not the politicians throw them out?
Have you heard of a little thing called "Grunnloven" before? No? Well, then allow me to quote the first paragraph for you:

§ 1. Kongeriket Norge er et fritt, selvstendig, udelelig og uavhendelig rike. Dets regjeringsform er innskrenket og arvelig monarkisk.

>>559332737
Indeed, and future predictions indicate a huge growth in Estonia, and with the N.U. having access to arctic minerals and oil as they thaw out, we'd be filthy rich. The most risky part is Sweden, which according to U.N. predictions will go downhill quickly if we keep our affermative, rad-fems, mass immigration and collapsed school system. The N.U. would be the salvation, and Sweden would be needed to connect our eastern russian testicular squeezers (Finland and Estonia) with the western resource locations (faroe, greenland, iceland, svalbard)

>>559336105
With the way globalization is taking over, It would seem like unification is good deal.

Uh, Sweden produces more electricity than you (the nuke plants and them being willing to fuck their eco-systems over with hydroelectric dams). They're also the second biggest weapons exporter in the world per capita, and unlike you they manufacture airplanes and tanks as well (not included in the calculation, mind you). With a N.U., SAAB could easily produce a nordic stealth fighter (Flygsystem 2020 is already being developed), Norway could supply a lot of tech, and we could get our own tanks again, like the CV90 and s-tank. Our stealth subs would be the best in the world (HMS Gotland, kockums being bought by SAAB), our weapons undefeatable with Norway and Bofors, etc.

While it could seem like a logical demographic evolution, there's a lot of transitional stuff to account for.
Firstly, we have very different culture. People outside the northern sphere won't give this much thought, but take one random person from each country and make them have to socialize or do some tasks, and a lot of the challenges will be apparent.

We would have to assimilate into one cultural pool. People woild have to move around across the virtual borders and shuffle around.

Estonia is progressing fast and HDI/GDP-PC predictions all show they'll soon be on our level (they're already almost there). What is more of a concern is the downturn for Sweden and Denmark...

>>559338573
So pretty much NATO doesn't want to let FInland join in order to not piss of Russia.

>>559339137
why?
Finland would benefit, and Sweden could be indifferent. Norway and Denmark are already members.

>>559338984
Because the F 35 is multi role, like I already said and not an interceptor. Norway cannot support multiple types of fighter jets so we needed one that filled all the roles the best as possible and the F 35 is it.

>>559333650
It wasn't just being bad-ass. Sweden and Finland were tightly co-operating even during WWII, and a Swedish NATO membership would make it very difficult for Sweden to keep the alliance going since the Russians would get mad. Finland was of great strategic importance to Sweden, as it was the first line of defense against the Russians. Thus, Sweden thought armed neutrality and supporting Finland would be better than submitting to NATO and leaving Finland to fend for themselves.

Finland and Estonia aren't that wealthy. If anything, Norway would shovel money on them, although a condition for joining the N.U. would probably be that norway got to keep their oil money, which would be acceptable since their oil money is nothing compared to the arctic.

>>559334121
Uh, they sent over 100 000 rifles, 2/3rds of the Swedish airforce (about five planes cause they were poor fucks), and a volunteer force of 18000 deployed or about to be deployed men (of which 12000 made it to the front before wars end) during the winter war. During the continuation war, despite their allegeded neutrality Sweden allowed german troop movement to Finland, etc. They had the same foreign policy as Finland of armed independent neutrality, and yet they still did that. My grandfather still has a scar on his right breast from a soviet bullet he received near Viborg.

>>559336118
why the fuck would we want to develop our militaries?

If the goal is a new military super power - then I'm not in. Not a single problem has ever been solved by means of military. Sure, conflicts have been squashed numerous times - but the underlying problems? Not malleable to brute force.

I'd much rather see scandinavia create a true peaceful utopia - setting forth an example for the rest of the world, and a the method to achieve it.-

>>559334660
You should add that Sweden had a nuclear arms program, that got put on stand-by due to the public vote. However, recently released files prove Sweden had plans to convert their plutonium for their nuclear powerplants to nuclear bombs in weeks should Russia do something mean, and Swedish bombers were designed to be able to carry a nuclear payload. Essentially, during the cold war, Sweden was a nuclear weapons state on standby.

>>559339768
True, but then Sweden could have just joined Nato anyways and have them be the first line and only defence. I still think that was pretty cool of them to stand with FInland.

Pfff... Everyone knows the Swedish tanks are superior (the s-tanks were beastly, and the CV90 seems to be pretty appreciated by denmark), and with the entire NU funding it we could easily develop a nordic stealth fighter.

>>559340671

Be serious.

You know as well as we do, that the Swedes really fucking pussied out in WWII and left the Finns to fight their war for them, largely alone.

Finns did all the fucking fighting and dying, while swedes fagged around as always.

Swedes also didn't help one fucking bit in the reparation punishments Finland had to pay to the fucking Soviets.

Pretty shameful period of history for Sweden, reallly.

League of Nordic Countries sounds fancier. Or nordic League. Or Nordic Nations League

>>559340123
This has happened only once in NATO history, and even then each country chooses how much they wish to contribute. Iceland sent ONE GUY. And Swedish neutrality is kind of meaningless, when Sweden spends so little on their defense. You could keep spending that little, and still be safe from IVAN, in NATO. I know there has already been discussions about it in Sweden in later years.

>>559335182
Indeed... Except Iceland and Greenland would contribute a lot too through their natural resources.

What relevance does that have.

Finland had to pay reparations.
Sweden didnt.
They just exploited the Finns on all accounts.

>>559341996
Well, Stalin's regime was a big part of why Finland did so good. Stalin had recently arrested/executed a lot of Soviet officers, which was extremely demoralizing for the Red Army. I'm not saying a Nordic union couldn't halt a Russian offensive, but the Russkies would probably be a lot fiercer now than they were back then. Also remember that the Finns recieved a lot of support from other countries, mostly Scandinavia.

>>559341937
some 90% of their population is in Europe, and most of their defense aswell. I would still prefer to have the UK and Germany in my back when barking at Russia. Or else, there goes Iceland, and what the fuck do we do now? Full-scale war with a nuclear power?

>>559336105
Norway wont have to share their current resources which won't even be much compared to those on greenland and around Iceland.

Greenland could be hard to convince if they go fully independent from Denmark... But they are important given their ore rich ground. It's either N.U. state money partially spent on developing greenland and help the eskimos and protect the environment, or it's international big biz companies from the U.S. & co. sucking Greenland dry while fattening the pockets of a select few eskimos.

>>559336252
The N.U. would have the strategic, military, economical and logistical upper hand if we united. That's why the union is so important.

>>559342581

It did make sense. We chose what our primary ally wanted to sell. Let's say the russians invade tomorrow. We can probably resist them for all of twenty minutes.

Do we put our hopes in the "neutral" Swedes who roll over for whicever despot throws money at them, France and their legendary frenchness or the US who has a track record for being a useful ally you can actually depend on?

That's right.

Well nordfags, it would seem like a Nordic Union would be great idea with some cons but mostly pros. I say aye!!

Finns received barely anything from Scandinavia, especially considering the enormity of what they where up against.

I agree completely. I just think the argument of Finland being completely fine in a war against Russia was failed on so many levels.

The support Finland got was in the form of individual volunteers though. Not official help from the governments. What they really needed was supplies like ammunition and arms, and this was denied them. A shame really.

NATO might not be an ally at all given the U.S.-Canadian arctic oil rush. We'd actually want an independent force to patrol our waters. Further, NATO is costly and pulls you into a lot of oil wars. Better to just do like Sweden and not be a part but still be allied to NATO in secret.

Greenland will be very easy to convince! They do not want independence. Their economy is completely reliant on financial aid from Denmark, and around 50.000 people live there. There are way to few people, too scattered to maintain sovereignty. Right now that is maintained by the danish navy and military patrols across the ice.

Even if Greenland starts making a profit, when their mining gets going, they will still need people keeping Ivan out.

First of all, an internal healthy multiculturalism is what the N.U. tries to maintain. Jämtland should still be Jämtland, Skåne still Skåne, Åland still Åland etc, instead of what is currently taking place; everything is blending together with a lot of cultural loss as a result.

Judging from how internally there's a lot of cultural differences in our nations today, I don't see why we'd have to mix it up like you describe it... Further, the suggested N.U. nations are suggested because they are very similar culturally.

I also suggested a monetary union, which would mean goodbye Euro and Greece. I would still want to keep a fixed rate to the Euro, though. Better for exports.
Norway ALREADY pays to the EU because you are a member of the European economic and free trade associations. You would have to pay a very little more. And anyway, perhaps after the NU was formed, there would be a majority wanting out of the EU. I personally don't hope so, but I want the NU more than the EU, if I can't have both.

The Gripen did beat f22s in red flag though... Although you could argue this was the pilots and not the planes that caused that. And the point of Gripen is to be cheap, easy to maintain, and capable of landing pretty much anywhere. Originally planned for "guerilla air operations" in Sweden where they built roads big enough to serve as temporary air fields, it has also been selected to patrol remote areas in brazil, etc. It has a great turn-around time, and for its cost it performs ridiculously well. What will win in a fight between five Gripen NGs and one F35 for the same price?

As for the s-tank it has no turret to improve armament and to serve as a defensive tank hunter. It was great for defending against advancing tanks, which is what it was designed to do. What about the CV90? The AK5C? The Archer system? The AT4CS? the Gotland class subs? The Visby class corvettes? etc. Sweden produces some grade a shit dude.

Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark had all declared armed neutrality. That is, unless they were attacked they would not attack. Sweden broke this declarations as much as they could without being fucked over by the allies or axis.
