But official policy in Sweden is that Norway is a cesspool of terrible people.
When I lived in NE England in th 80s I regularly listened to the English-language radio broadcasts from the public radio services of both Sweden and Norway. A large chunk of the broadcasts from each were fairly nasty jokes at the expense of the other country. The one thing they could agree on was how terrible the Danes were.
(I should add that I am a member of a pan-Scandinavian professional organization, and all the people I know in my field seem to get along great, at least when people like me are in the room. However, I know better - I’ve lived in both Wisconsin and Minnesota.)
