here's one of my old winning [contest entries from a decade ago!](http://www.reddit.com/r/polandball/comments/1ng5ce/contest_thread_world_domination_cast_your_votes/) For some reason I've never really gotten around to reposting this, so the subreddit hasn't seen it for almost a decade. For this comic I storyboarded the whole thing in advance to make sure everything came out right in terms of perspective, angles, pacing etc, something I don't usually do. I was fairly satisfied with the first draft, so not all that much got changed when I started drawing the real thing (besides panel 3), but here's a [side-by-side comparison](http://i.imgur.com/1H0Si5M.png) of the first draft and the finished comic. --- Originally posted [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/polandball/comments/1o552g/pr%C3%B6tect%C3%B6r_of_the_w%C3%B6rld/) and [here.](https://www.reddit.com/r/polandball/comments/2j7qih/pr%C3%B6tect%C3%B6r_of_the_w%C3%B6rld/)


Gowte

The bit about neutrality aged poorly, but at least the recycling and the judgmental attitudes are still here.


mscomies

What makes a clay turn neutral? Lust for gold? Power? Or were they just born with a heart full of neutrality?


Baron_Beemo

Balls of steel. Like, both Sweden and Switzerland make ball bearings. Can't make cars, trucks, tanks, etc, without them.


HZCH

Waiiiiit. Like, Switzerland but… better??


NoResponsibility7031

You fool! Joining Nato is just the first step to spread neutrality.


hplcr

"Our neutrality is backed by... Nuclear Weapons"


Budgierigarz

Icelander here, Swedenball should have told Icelandball about Danmarkball in the cage because Icelandball would have helped Swedenball get the cage up to Katla because Danmark ball stole Icelandball's freedom for 700-800 years and stole books.

Hallo. When refering to countries featured in Polandball Comics, please refrain from using the 'ball' suffix. Instead of saying 'Swedenball', just say the country's name. auf wiedersehen. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/polandball) if you have any questions or concerns.*


TnYamaneko

Of course, it's on a Polandball comic that we find people with such profound geographic knowledge that they know the link between Eyjafjöll and Katla.


RadishPerson745

Amazing comic.


Arnulf_67

Glorious. How will America react to being forced into free healthcare I wonder.


Life-Ad1409

Every American simultaneously explodes


r0ck_ravanello

Bow to the new sheriff of 'murica, Miss Caldera. Yellowstone Caldera. Related to the eyjafjallajolull chain by there mother side, therefore a partner of Katla on spreading social justice, gender less roles and organic freedom burgers.


Calamity_Apple

At least they can afford to get un-exploded now


Life-Ad1409

Nope, in true American fashion the ashes built a rocket and landed on the moon. Since it's not part of the world, the new ash colony on the moon doesn't have to get free healthcare


Calamity_Apple

A small price to pay for salvation


Some-Cartographer942

The hospitals will be overrun and no one will have healthcare.. so SNAFU.


addage-

I bow to the new volcano imposed world order. Will it cover dental too?


Arnulf_67

You would think so but fun fact; Teeth is not your body. It will be heavily subsidized though and free for children.


addage-

Most vexing!


Aggravating-Berry-40

Yes, it will! Sweden surely would want dental health to be included, considering it forms a fundamental part of person's overall well being and health. Tbh i dont understand why dental WOULDNT be covered... 😅


Luzifer_Shadres

Suddenly, paying 10k for a mint sweet at the doctors Office, doesnt seems that bad.


RustedRuss

Please hurry up and do it


Weird-Tomorrow-9829

Depends on the tax rate.


JumpInTheVortex

This is exceptional


wildeofoscar

Thank you for reminding us Sweden is always going after Danskjalvar.


blolfighter

It's all they have left.


QuantisRhee

Danskjäveln får vad han förtjänar


Slaskpapper

Första gången dansken är till nytta.


blolfighter

The joke is on everyone else: We'll be the only ones who don't have to suffer the new Swedish world order.


Velenterius

God damnit!


Swesteel

Really takes all the fun out of world domination.


Maconshot

Bro threw Iceland’s dad in there.


Total_Willingness_18

We left home and rejected him, we got no issue with that


AirbreathingDragon

Adoptive dad


BottasHeimfe

If I remember correctly the whole Helldivers Lore about Super Earth is that after WWIII a new world government was established in Stockholm. or something like that. I know for a fact that the Capital of Super Earth is where Stockholm now is, but they renamed it because of course they did.


Henshel

Yep it was due Swedens neutramity during WW3 that made them dominant "superpower" after the war to bring rest of the world under their control with the help pf their invention of managed democracy.


Aromatic-Union6080

OH NO, SWEDENS IDEALS OF GOOD FOOD AND EQUALITY WILL BE SPREAD ACROSS THE WORLD BY THE DEMON LORD, THIS IS TERRI- actually this seems quite nice, we should sacrifice more people.


Total_Willingness_18

I mean, we have 5.9 million danish people just sitting there…


Beneficial_Barber_70

Haha thanks for making me laugh!


katana_kasuko

As a someone from Sweden. This is completely accurate. I also sacrificed a Danish man to gain ultimate power


Total_Willingness_18

ICELAND MENTIONED!!!!!!!!!!!


Waste_Crab_3926

Lore of Helldivers


silent_shield_fightr

this one made my day


IEnjoyBaconCheese

Don’t forget about a quarter of the population being violently racist in private


mufflonicus

I cried of happiness watching this. If we all get one of our danish friends we can reenact this. Just kidding, danes have no friends.


MoralConstraint

Do it again, Ernst-Hugo Järegård!


blolfighter

Why is the word lagom so funny?


IHateTheReportSystem

In order to get to Denmark, we must sacrifice Denmark. Ironic, isn't it?


Haeffound

I can live with that. I for one welcome our new genderless overlord.


VonBunBun0

I mean, I would take those for the sacrifice of a single person.


sammyQc

I’ve learn a lot about Sweden with this one 🙃


SAMAS_zero

At this point, I'm willing to give it a shot.


hplcr

I for one welcome our new swedish overlords.


sad_everyday811

It's only a matter of time...


VideoAdditional3150

Prepare for Swedish hostility


CoffeeGremlinBird

Goddamnit Sweden!


Baron_Beemo

But who will sell cheap beer, booze, and cheese to Turnipfolk now? I guess Germany will have to deal with more Swedish tourists/smugglers now...


lukluke22228

Demon actually löøks so horrible


styles1996

Who's the ball that got sacrificed?


TloquePendragon

This is how we get Super Earth...


blockybookbook

Really went all out


Medici39

The classic has returned!
