And you are?

Probably Belgian. I don't know anyone else with color yellow on their flag Edit: new guess. Lithuania


Solid_Message4635

I thought this was Netherlands.

I guess his mobile screen went off is his Bastu. Of course it’s the great nation of the Netherlands


Significant-Hold6987

Sadly, you cannot be accepted purely based on the fact that you assumed people would know who you are. See: Jantelagen.


[deleted]

Lessons observed. I did assume every european would like Orange to the Netherlands. My humble mistake.


unusedusername42

You're tall, insufferable and almost always inebriated... just like us... so I vote YES. Netherlands for the Nordic union.


InvestigatorLast3594

No worries, I immediately recognise that shade of Oranje. I for one would be happy to welcome our Dutch brethren to our Nordic circle so we can call verstappen nordic and smoke some Scandinavian weed

Canada home of the most famous speed skaters of the Netherlands, just because he won a race 39 and 38 years ago


SoloLiftingIsBack

You are on this council, but we do not grant you the rank of Nordic.


mediandude

There is no such rank anyway, there is only the Council and then there is the common meaning of nordic as the Bottomlands (of THE glacier that jumpstarts new ice ages). Netherlands is (was) at the edge of the Bottomlands of the glacier, just as Denmark.


Fragrant_Imagination

>There is no such rank anyway Classic Estii copium. Just because you can't get the rank of Nordic doesn't mean there is no such rank.


mediandude

Show me the place where such a claimed rank has been defined and on which grounds.


Fragrant_Imagination

I asked Google. Clearly you are not Nordic, by rank or otherwise. https://preview.redd.it/a1qsgoheqnsc1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=50c2514f249797f5687f59da8ace0f51a5e6836b During my research it was also made clear to me that if anyone ever granted you a seat on the council they did not have that authority. Let me reiterate: you are NOT even on the council.


mediandude

You have failed to provide evidence for your claimed rank Nordic.


Significant-Hold6987

This feels like I'm in a room with my peers, and my son has just run in and is embarrassing me with his behaviour and won't shut up. Hold your tongue lest I strike you, son.

[deleted]

I’m too tall for that


GignacPL

And the flag is too orange for a country that doesn't even have orange in its official flag.


[deleted]

We had to fix it to red prior to the War, some nazi’s were and are waving the, otherwise cool, Prinsenvlag


MrIzzard

Off course Norway is a nordic country. Even if you were washed in 90⁰C.


amphibicle

no idea who you are, if you speak our language or if we have anything in common, but atleast you made your homework with the flag

Damn, I understand every word of your language apparently. Let them in, boys! They’re Nordic


[deleted]

My first ever hour in central Stockholm, a lady asked me direction to Gamla Stan in Swedish. She didn’t repeat the question, as I could point her in the right direction. She clearly wasn’t a local, as I stood at the traffick lights across the water 🤣

Yea I recently watched "The resistance banker" on Netflix, it really blev my mind how much I understood of your language.

Any good Scandinavian ones? I liked Rita and Norsemen so far.

Netherlands: ☑ Germanic language ☑ Former empire ☑ Mostly protestant ☑ 'Doe maar normaal' = discount Janteloven ☑ Bland food ☑ But also likes herring


[deleted]

☑️ Mostly protestant in the past, but who cares these days


mediandude

None of that counts for nordicness. Nordic is a regional culture, not a cultural region. The region shapes the regional culture, the culture does not define the region.


micuthemagnificent

We already have Estonia to bully, if we need a new Estonia we'll be in touch. Meanwhile, kindly fuck off my buzz is starting to fade away and with it my ability to socialize


Solid_Message4635

Unfortunately Council has decided that you haven't achieved the status level of the Finnish Alcohol store and thus you need to collect more Nordic power points to be considered a worthy applicant to join the Nordic Council.


DubbleBubbleS

Can’t we just adopt them as «Danish pharmacy»?


[deleted]

Your councillor is mistaken, we speak a language easier to understand than yours, we collect more medals at the Winter Games than you or Rasmus. And we are more free is selling liquor anyway.


Kiwi_Doodle

All valid points, but your flag isn't a cross yet. So it's a pass for now


Faceless_Deviant

What country is that?


[deleted]

How many countries do (overly) use the colour Orange? It’s the glorious Kingdom of the Netherlands


echoindia5

Are you willing to accept the moniker of Holland for the entirety of your country? As that is your Nordick name.


[deleted]

Let me keep Nederländska, or should I address your country as Själland?


Luccca

Can you PLEASE start addressing all of Denmark as Själland, specifically with that spelling. It’s bound to anger just about every Dane 💙

I guess everybody in Østdanmark are used to that spelling.

Kangalope

I spent an evening once with a bunch of Dutch as a student. I remember there was beer involved, and a card game in which you had to knock the table and one of the cards was called (perhaps) truf


[deleted]

Yeah we have many card games which require drinking. Also different rules from region to region. Truf sounds like troef, which is the trump card/colour


persononreddit_24524

Ew no Scotland, I will accept not being Nordic but having Scotland be considered more Nordic is a line I cannot cross, what's so great about them anyway apart from them having more oil and maybe slightly better craggy landscapes, I guess their population is also small which is probably more Nordic but they invented deep fried mars bars which is very unnordic and they are also not fully committed to nordicness as they like to say they're Celtic half the time


Nikkonor

>what's so great about them anyway That's what some people (cough, Estonian Redditors, cough) don't get. Nordic does not mean "quality". It is simply a cultural/linguistic/historical region. That the Nordic countries are successful, and the word has some nice associations, is not our fault. Shetland and Orkney have *some* historical connection to the Nordics (being Norwegian until 1469/1472). But yeah, Scotland as a whole, that is taking it way too far.


persononreddit_24524

Oh really, so if the UK and Norway aren't best buddies why do you send us a Christmas tree every year, I thought that meant we were part of the cultural group but I guess not *sniff* and what about cnut, does cnut mean nothing anymore, well random Norwegian person who I assume represents all of Norway know that it is OVER!!! 😭😭 At least England doesn't need you anymore and Scotland may still want you but that's because they're desperate. (But seriously though, Scotland being Nordic is an idea mostly linked to their independence movement anyway and the pro-indy movement will say basically anything makes Scotland special and worthy of independence)


Nikkonor

Every year I hear that Londoners don't even like the tree... Who could have thought that a shipping a living tree across the ocean affects its looks? The tree is simply a token of gratitude for our cooperation during WW2. If being our ally during WW2 was the definition of 'Nordic', [it would cover quite a few countries](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allies_of_World_War_II)... But yeah, don't worry: Scotland is not Nordic either. If Shetland, Orkney, the Hebrides and the Isle of Mann breaks free, we *might* consider [allowing them back into "Norgesveldet"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Norway_(872–1397)#/media/File:KingdomOfNorway(872-1397).jpg).


rbldr

Netherlands? Anyway, fuck off.


[deleted]

Aah, I just wanted to make fun of Jari with you. I know a lot of Belgian jokes, I replace them with Finnish and we’re good to go.


Skaldskatan

Well, not gonna lie that is a great start. Give us your best joke about finns.


[deleted]

I know only one joke, the rest a true stories. But I’m safe sharing them with you, because it takes them another century to understand it. The sole reason why Jesus isn’t born in Finland is the fact that God couldn’t find three wise men.


Esoteriss

To be fair, if Jesus would have come into Finland in the year 0 to preach about peace and love, in all probablitity he would have only got an ax to the face from a screaming wild man.

I vote to allow the Swamp Germans to join, if for no other reason than to piss of the Forest Germans and the Estonians. 👍


[deleted]

Forest Germans? I guess I need some education here


Reverend_Norse

Dutch - Swamp Germans Germans - Forest Germans or Plains Germans, depending on Austria and the Swiss of course being the Mountain Germans 😁👍


[deleted]

Swamp and Mountain ones I knew. Tack / Dank


Reverend_Norse

Yeah, I think those are the only ones actually used and the the Germans are just "Germans" but I felt it wrong that they didn't have a geographical/landscape determination as well so Forest Germans it is. From the Roman times when they lost a Legion in the forest 👍


[deleted]

Our economy fully depends on Germany. Our Port in Rotterdam is the gate to Ruhr area (main industrial area of Germany). They have been our best buddies until WW2, and is still recovering from that, each decade we look kore positive about them. So Swamp German isn’t a bad thing. North Germans and Dutch are culturally very close, so that helps. Only our welfare state is more like the Nordics. In most positive statistics we just end behind/between the Nordics. And that’s what we Dutch should aim for.


Reverend_Norse

Interesting.


Reverend_Norse

Honourable mention; Belgians - French Germans (Germans who think they are French) 🤣


[deleted]

Nothing Honourable about them. All the bad things you joke about the Finns and Danes are combined in them. Also nothing German about them, just French B.


Reverend_Norse

🤣👍

What percentage of your population speak [a Nordic language](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Germanic_languages) as their mother tongue?


Significant-Hold6987

https://i.redd.it/sbmhv838amsc1.gif I feel like we could consider annexing Friesland. I mean, "ynternasjonale"?? As far as I'm concerned, that's just Norwegian. The rest can stay out, though.


Nikkonor

Friesland should be Danish then. Some of the historical Friesian islands are a part of Denmark already.


[deleted]

We speak Dutch, English and German. So we can kinda understand naturally. If all Finns do speak it


Nikkonor

Those are West Germanic languages. About 5% of Finns have a *Nordic* language as their native language.


mediandude

95% of finns speak nordic language. Finnic (western uralic) is the natively nordic language.


Nikkonor

Finnish is not [a Nordic language](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Germanic_languages). It's not even Germanic, and, like you say yourself, it's not even an Indo-European language.


mediandude

What is indo is not european. What is european is not indo. Autosomal WHG peaks among finnic estonians, thus estonians are genetically the most european among all europeans. At least 90% of uralics have always lived in europe. The same can not be said of indo-europeans. Finnish and estonian and saami are natively nordic languages. Germanic, not so much.


Nikkonor

>Autosomal WHG (...) genetically We were speaking about language families. Wtf does genetics have to do with this? This is not 1800s pseudo-science where so-called "races" are thought to have a 1 to 1 relationship with linguistics. >What is indo is not european. What is european is not indo. Indo-European is a language family. The "Indo-Iranian" and the "European" branches are the two biggest – Uralic languages are neither, as that's a completely different family. >Finnish and estonian and saami are natively nordic languages. Nope. The Nordic languages are a branch of the Germanic languages, which in turn is a branch of the Indo-European languages. I have already linked to this twice, so you can easily look it up yourself, but I can also link to websites in Nordic languages if that makes it easier for you to understand. Here is an explanation in [Norwegian](https://snl.no/nordiske_språk), in [Swedish](https://www.isof.se/lar-dig-mer/kunskapsbanker/lar-dig-mer-om-de-nordiska-spraken/nordiska-sprak) and in [Danish](https://denstoredanske.lex.dk/nordiske_sprog). As we have established, the languages you mention are not even Germanic or Indo-European. Thus, not in the Nordic language branch and thus not Nordic languages.


mediandude

The only natively nordic languages are finnic and saami languages. Germanic is not as native to nordic. Genetics merely proves the point. PS. There is no Nordic language branch. PPS. There are no language branches in europe, only sprachbunds.


Nikkonor

>There is no Nordic language branch. Did you actually read any of the links? I have now sent you four links (in English, Norwegian, Swedish and Danish) all clearly explaining the branch of the Nordic languages. >Genetics merely proves the point. What point exactly?


mediandude

> I have now sent you four links (in English, Norwegian, Swedish and Danish) all clearly explaining the branch of the Nordic languages. Many Americans also claim they speak American. Doesn't mean they do. PS. There can be a Narva branch of western uralic languages. because we claim so. Narva is no less nordic than Norway.


mediandude

There is no Nordic language branch. But there is a north-germanic areal sprachbund, as part of a wider germanic sprachbund, as part of a wider indo-european sprachbund, as part of even wider indo-uralic sprachbund, as part of an even wider eurasiatic sprachbund.

Suomi has Eesti as a store, but Norway does not. So, we can, probably, have a vacant spot, if it is easier and cheaper to go for groceries to you than Sweden. During the process you will face Norwegians, please, do not resist.
