Norway is the pinnacle of the Scandinavian lifestyle.

-Iceland tends to have depression problems, likely because of their long, dark winters.

-Sweden is having several problems involving things like racial tensions with middle-eastern immigrants. Namely, they have the highest sexual assault rate in Europe, with the vast majority of them being middle-eastern immigrants trying to keep their regressive views towards women in the most sexually-liberated part of the world.

-Finland is the peak of scholarly excellence, though I hear they have problems resulting from their Russian border.

One of the things Norway is legendary for is their highly-successful correctional system. In Norway, almost nobody is a repeat offender. There was famously a serial killer who killed a bunch of people with a chainsaw. By the time he was out of the Norwegian system, he got a job as a lumberjack, cutting down trees with a chainsaw. No further incidents.

Compare that to the US, where there are more violent offenders coming out of our prison system than going in. Tax-evaders or pot-smokers often come out as muggers and murderers. Why? Probably because it is good business, when prisons are private and for-profit.

American prisoners in Norway are not sent back to the US, because the US prison system does not meet their humanitarian standards.

I've heard good things about dating Scandinavian women in general. Much less pomp and circumstance, fewer double standards, and you both act like adults. I hear girls are as likely as guys to approach, and sex isn't come creepy demonic thing. And a big money-saver, too. They find the American-girl expectation that a guy should take her to a lavish restaurant, and pay for everything, to be outright insane. Normally they go for coffee and pay for themselves. SOme guy throwing money at a girl comes off as intimidating or having an ulterior motive. In the US, you are a "cheap asshole" if you do anything less, for some girls. Sounds like Scandinavian girls have a good head on their shoulders.

Correction. Sweden's high sexual assault has nothing to do with middle easterners, and everything to do with the Sweden's police reclassifying what constitute as sexual assault back in 2005. The way the Sweden police counts sexual assaults is different from all the other European nations and their definition of "rape" is much broader as oppose to over here in the states where rape requires some sort of "penetration".

Not to mention, the Sweden police counts every instant of rape separately. So hypothetically speaking if a woman reports to the police that she was raped 20 times by her husband, then each and every time she was raped will be counted as a separate case over in Sweden (20 cases of rape), unlike in the other European nations (and in America) where it will be counted as only 1 case of rape. This way of counting each instant of rape separately inflates their numbers big time.

Iceland.
It's a lovely place, they have a very sensible attitude towards books. The people are extremely nice. They treat bankers appropriately. The terrain is... beyond description.

But frankly any of them save Sweden. :p

Iceland didn't recover that well from the American 2008 crisis:

uti.is/.../Screenshot-2015-09-23-12.33.59.png

It recovered mainly because of EU help.

[jacquesvol]

In total, assistance from the IMF and several countries amounted to ca. $10bn, roughly the GDP of Iceland that year.

[ThePragmaticRomantic]

@ᗰIᑎᑕᕼᗩᑎ know their recovery wasn't anything magical and amazing. But they locked up a load of bankers who were found guilty of wrong doing. Worst they got in the UK (or most of the western world really) is slaps on the wrist. Fines which their insurance companies paid.

[AnOrdinaryGirl45]

I don't know anything about these countries. But I'll go with Norway because my coworker used to live there and said it was a great place to live and majority of the population were atheists. Ahem.

[croxy]

Did your coworker tell you about prices? Especially apartment prices -.-

[AnOrdinaryGirl45]

@croxy no she didn't go into much detail. It's expensive, I assume?

[croxy]

Where I live in Oslo the average price is 57800kr / square meter. For USD divide that with about 6or 7 ish

[AnOrdinaryGirl45]

@croxy so between $8000-9000?

[croxy]

Nope, our currency have dropped a lot recently so and didn't take that into account. The average is 6800 USD per square meter, that adds up a lot, so. I can't rent for cheap either as I'm not a student. It's literally impossible to buy a place, and I had to move back to my mom aswell because I literally had 0 left after paying rent. It was on 950 usd / month.

[AnOrdinaryGirl45]

Oh 😕@croxy

[Jxpxtxr]

Norway probably, although Swedish people are said to be more beautiful.. I'll make more money in Norway 🤑

[RainbowFanGirl]

Iceland is beautiful, and not actually as cold as the name suggests it is.

[93stepsawayfromhome]

Yes, I agree. I'd like to live there at some point.

[RainbowFanGirl]

Thanks for MHO! ❤️

[WhatTheHellAmy]

Sweden has good chicks and smart people. Let's go to sweden!!!

[jacquesvol]

No thanks, even Belgium and northern France are too fresh and wet to my gusto. So is Germany.

[93stepsawayfromhome]

I'm kind of fascinated by Iceland, but it's not primarily the climate that makes me want to move there. :) However, I think I could endure it, I'm fine with the Belgian climate. I'm not very wild about hot climates.

[Watermelonoma]

honestly, i don't really know too much of the difference between the countries, except iceland is kinda small, and their economy is soso. Sweden would be nice, but its too feminist for my taste. Perhaps Norway

[FinnishBeautyGirl]

Finland cuz Im not planning on moving yet :) :D lol

[RedThread]

All of those sound great.. Don't they have the highest quality of life in the world? i want to visit them all someday and perhaps live in one for a while.

[pplnt]

I'm from Denmark but I don't really know where I'd want to live the most. I think I'm pretty indifferent. Denmark lacks beautiful nature in my opinion though.

[rgb008]

I've always been drawn to Iceland for some reason.
I'd like to visit but I don't know about moving to live in another country.

[ElissaDido]

None but I voted for Sweden, however I would love to visit them!

[MissNowhere]

Iceland, it's a weird country, I feel like my life would be full of adventures.

[NJ_Casanova]

Never been to any, I don't even know which is which in the Picture, LOL. I would guess the one with the best party scene, and easiest to travel to other countries (red to the right?)

[evenlift]

Probably Denmark, because it seems to be the freest country out of all of those.

[Zorax]

Sweden, definitely, it's one of my favorite European countries

[Alexious]

Denmark. Danish girls. 😍
In fact I love girls from all these countries.

[TheFlak36]

I like all these countries. Maybe in Norway. Or in Finland with my friend @FinnishBeautyGirl and her sister.

[FinnishBeautyGirl]

Welcome :) haha

[Applefan1]

Norway, because I have a friend there. I don't know anyone in any of the other countries. Also Sweden has some major problems and down sides to it.

[Redstang88]

Norway would be my first choice, Iceland a close second.

[croxy]

Norway for sure. I wouldn't wanna move away for any of the other countries :p I'm pretty happy here

[Applefan1]

I choose Norway because I have a friend there. From what I hear Sweden has more problems than Norway does.

[RationalMale]

Sweden. They have an insanely high rape rate (actual violent rape, not "I was drunk and regretted it the next morning!") due to massive African/arab immigration... I could literally become the Punisher, finding and killing rapists haha.

[Aeon_Flux_21]

"Sweden. They have an insanely high rape rate"

Lol, if people stopped reading there they would have thought your wanted to rape.

[Anonymous]

Any of them sound cool... no pun intended. I voted for Sweden since I know more about that country.

[bryon]

You can't beat Swedish chocolate. Bring on the sweets

[Omar5881]

Finland this country is awesome
Going there for a month is on my to do list
