Holland invaded Sweden? Other than a lot of Dutch folk settling down in Sweden in the 16-hundreds and helping design and build Gothenburg for example, I didn't know they invaded us?

And did Finland kick out Swedes from Finland? I thought that was the Russians kicking us out when the Swedish baltic "empire" crumbled. And then Finland became its own country around WW1. I am honestly not sure about these things, to my shame, but I thought that's how it happened?

You swedish pedantic bastard :D

You can't expect full on epicness from the films, as they are seperate stories, i found it rather good however.
Btw, look at this custom piece of artwork a talented young newzealand artist did for me.
Me as a Naruto character (Back to back with my favorite character) My photos do not do this thing justice btw;


And yes, i do have that much hair atm.

That is amazing! am super jealous!

*adjusts glasses* Hmph! :D

Joking aside, I was mostly asking though, because I don't feel 100% sure about Finland's story, something I feel I should read up on. :) For someone interested in history, I sorely lack in that department.

Heh yeah, it's quite a history. Goes longer even, into the whole viking times of 900-1000, as it's "proven"(nothing concrete and written yet) that the scandic viking tribes originated from finland, such as the rus clan moving and forming current russia.

It's logical too, if you look at the map, finland is the place that's easiest to protect when the only nautical route is through that "throat" of sorts :)

That's only 'cause you clusterf*cked us for a while :D

We're getting rid of your gay influence though.

the thing is, Sweden, yes, is the "royalty" of Scandinavia. The only problem is that we don't like royalty around these parts :D

the royalty of scandinavia ? , how many years were you fins invaded for such silly beliefs to take root ? :)

anyhows ofc a merge would be a good idea , denmark norway sweden , them fins and the island people should all join germany , would get em a decent language and a population large enough to support a real newspaper :)

The only posh people in Sweden are the Stockholmers... and the rest of Sweden laughs at them. There's a bit of rivalry going on between Stockholm and the "rest of Sweden". We think they are stuck up and they think we are hillbillys.

Think there's abit too much bad history between our countries to get merged, I mean - Denmark invaded us and had a tyrant on the throne until he got overthrown, we invaded Finland and Norway and held them for quite a long time(1800s for Finland and 1905 for Norway when the union got broken by the Swedish king). And speaking of Norway, they also got invaded by Denmark... Scandinavian history is often more interesting than the British and French imo, not to speak about what a clusterfuck it is to remember.

Regarding the language part, I can personally understand almost anything a Norwegian/Danish person says, but I think they have a bigger problem understanding me, I personally see Sweden(just as it is geograpically located) as the middleground in the languages.

That said, I want Norway back, fuckers won the lottery 1905 when we gave away all oil unknowingly :(

I just remembered that Iceland is part of Scandinavia too, heh.. forgotten by a whole thread:(

And regarding their language, the only thing I have to say is WHAT THE FUCK. I used to be in a WoW guild with a group of real life friends from Iceland, I could probably understand more from listening to a stutterer reading some old Incan text. It was just total mindfuck, and the spelling ohgod.

Ran this post thru a translator...

online translator said:
ÉG réttlátur muna þessi Ísland er hluti af Skandinavía of heh. forgotten við a heild þráður :( Og viðvíkjandi þeirra tungumál the eini hlutur ÉG verða að segja er HVAÐA THE Ríða. ÉG vanur eitthvað sem gert var oft vera í a Vá! gildi með a hópur af raunverulegur líf vinátta frá Ísland , ÉG ) sennilega skilja fleiri frá hlusta til a stam lestur sumir gamall Incan texti. Það var réttlátur alger minnugur , og the stafsetning núll minn guð.

ofc a dane would understand skånska...its danish light ffs. and if i meet a dane i usually go: *hi do you speak english?* so much easier then having to listen to someone trying to talk with his mouth full of porridge :) norweigan is quite easy to understand and finnish isnt a languange its just randomly placed letters so.. ;)

btw i would give away everything below stockholm to highest bidder if i could...they are not proper swedes anyway as noone understands them :)

Oi we "here in Jylland" dont even want "sjælland" allas we have no choice atm.
so why'd we want skåne too? just more of the same !

I say let skåne and sjælland merge and decalre a new scandinavian state.

Skåsjælandia or Sjælskåland
and give em Bahu's flag

Considering we over here on Sjælland are actually the real danes. Capital etc, real island.
Jylland is simply an extension of germany. What you have is peasants, cows and a distinct, permanent smell of feaces in the air.

In the early days of DAOC, I'm talking way back, before Darkness Falls, for some reason which I can't remember, a lot of ppl had issues with the Spanish guilds...
