They both have trade surpluses. Sweden not as much anymore but they did recently. They don’t produce those surpluses. It’s mostly from resources. Care to look it up?
So does China.
So do many other countries that are don’t feature on those list.
Scandinavian countries have had many economic advantages for sure, the point is this probably because of the diverse government in place (which I thought you were longing for earlier), as opposed to despite of it
Population to support. 5 million.
I did. Swedens economy is 65% service based.
…Natural resources accounted for 1.2%
We were talking about Finland no. You shifted
I’d say the Swedes have the same. Maybe policy prohibits its exploits. They’re certainly more radical than the fins. Regardless both are small population wise and large geographically. I’m not huge on Scandinavia but they couldn’t possibly have the same problems as the usa and a poor comparison

I wasn’t talking about Finland, you were.
I was talking about the list and responding to you talking about European Socialism as failing.
But if you want to knock out Finland, fair enough, they’re DQ’d
Who’s up next? Denmark… 0.34% of GDP from natural resources

Its interesting that you took my initial point - that they have a government that function well, based on diversity in its parliament, as some massive promotion of SOCIALISM and were then instantly on the defensive!
That was not the point. The point is that they have vary well run countries because politicians need to compromise on what’s best for all, with very high levels of respect for government that have delivered on a equitable society that has high metrics for pretty much measure there is.

Sure let’s do their youth unemployment to as a precursor for their happiness to come. I was referencing Denmark only not all of Scandinavia bc of your finish comment. Sure they’re service sectors. And guess what? They’re going to have major issues going forward due to failed policies unless they reverse as well. They’re already changing their political climate like most European countries.
I did not mention Finland. I said the happiest countries in the world, in the main, have proportionally represented government.
Something you were supporting hugely just a few posts before
I’m a horrible trader. All of my assets missed that 10%+ drop, and I had options positions that made north of 2000% during that drop. How about you?
Danish youth unemployment is less than that in the US.
Im still not sure why you’re trying to trash these countries, they’re clearly very well run

My friend you may want to explore Finland, Sweden and Denmarks immigration policies before you start using them as a comparison. The reason they have such high nationalism and love for government is they closed their borders and implemented enthocentric laws.
Success in these countries is because they promote nationalism, and preservation of Nordic values, culture and language. They accept extremely high taxes to support the welfare state, but those programs are only available to native nordics. There is a bit more to the immigration story but you can look up how they treat asylum seekers.
Erm… you’re incorrect. There has been larges amounts of immigration in most Scandanavian countries of late.
Here is Sweden compared to the European average for asylum entries

Its funny because the right wing in Europe is stating that all these countries are being over run with immgrants…
Yet the right wing over here is trying to make out they’re great because of the opposite. And as per normal for the right wing here its based on false ‘knowledge’
Including “only Nordics recieve benefits” This is 100% NOT TRUE. If you beleived this you’ve been misinformed or lied to. Again an easy google will educate you here.

See the date and the tale off on your table, It ends in 2017. Right around the time they implemented laws to drive nationalism. They currently only allow skilled labor to enter and those that have managed feel unwanted so they leave. This year Sweden reported net emigration because those that were allowed in are now leaving.
My friend (American) and his wife (Serbian) were basically put into what they described as encampment cities with all immigrants and asylum seekers. I’m not sure why they still live there even after gaining citizenship from they way the described these cities, and how unsafe they felt.
Nice you must have so much dough, should run your own fund
I’ll just stick to my lame vti and chill
Again all I can say is you’re being lied to and again to have a quick google about a lot of other stuff you’ve been led to believe by someone telling a story in your ear.

I’m not even sure where to go now with you lol. This is the second graph you have put up which proves my point. Emigration is going up and immigration is down since your 2017 graph.
You don’t need anymore graphs you can just googled “Swedish immigration policies” they do not let asylum seekers into the normal population without months sometimes years of vetting. They wait you out until you leave.
Exactly your are correct.
Yes, you said most. My mistake for thinking you knew what countries had high amounts of natural resources and low debt, because they’re almost all Soviet oil republics and Gulf States.
Name one of these countries.
