Well from what you state i would have to vote for Denmark, they pretty much ruled everything back in the viking age. Including Norway and Sweden. Also the first to travel to Greenland and claim it. But ill admit i think Norway has the best climate and most viking like.
Overall they are all pretty cool and they can all understand each other. They should form the United States of Scandinavia. The USS, would be damn awesome.
Simo Häyhä. Sweet. Also, Finland was a badass during the Winter War. I personally go Norway/Finland > Sweden > Denmark. Not to say Denmark ain't badass at all, but it's the least among the Nordic Countries...:PFinland has the most badass sniper in history with an impressive IRL score of 705 kills and 1 death.

If you go to Wiki now the numbers will be different.[QUOTE="Treflis"]Since I'm Norwegian, I won't say my country as that would be cheating, my vote then goes to Finland which I consider part of Skandinaviahorgen123Why you add Finland to Scandinavia? :?Why wouldn't I? It's linked up to both Norway and Sweden aswell as only a ferry trip away from Denmark. Or shouldn't I since they have a language that doesn't really resembles the one Denmark, Sweden and Norway share?

It's only because of historic events that Danish, Swedish and Norwegian is considered 3 different languages. Finland doesn't have that much in common with the rest of us.
Aren't all the Scandinavian countries like the best places to live in the world? THey all have such high standards of living. Gotta go with Denmark though. You forgot about Iceland.
I'm gonna vote Sweden. If I didn't, my wife would kill me.nocoolnamejim
Finland by far. They beat the crap out of the russians in WW2 and indirectly lead to the defeat of the nazis. Hitler saw how bad russia fared against Finland and attacked russia which eventually lead to the downfall of the 3rd reich.
Yes, you DEFINITELY have to give little (population-wise) Finland credit for holding off the Soviet Union for a while before WWII. But these days, there is nothing remotely "badass" about anything or anyone from Scandinavia. Total wimps / wusses that their truly badass Viking ancestors would be ashamed of

The last badass to even grace that region of the world was Gustavus Adolfus.fidosimWho...? :? I personally think the Norwegians who fought their German occupants during World War II were pretty badass, and so for that matter was the Danish resistance. Mannerheim and his men redefined the entire concept of badassness during the Winter War, and then you have the Swedish volunteers that drove trucks across the ice to Finland with food and medical supplies, and who went back and forth across the Norwegian border, helping Jews hide from the German trains and get them to safety... And I vote Sweden, of course. Fosterland! :D
Who...? :? ChiliDragonExactly.

I mean, if the best performance they put on in the last century was mounting a resistance effort after having already been conquered, how can we truly call them badass?

Meh, the Rhinelands were technically the easiest to take...
Yet, how can you disagree with the badassery of the Finnish when they fought off the Russian Army and skinned the corpses of the fallen Russian soldiers, hanging the dried skins on the trees along the country's main road? Pretty badass. Plus, nowadays the Scandinavian countries are badass enough to have awesome healthcare, some of the most attractive women on the planet, an insanely high standard of living, and a very small poverty ratio. Pretty badass. ;)

I say Denmark was the easiest in terms of independent countries. All Hitler had to do was go "I'm remilitarizin' ya Rhineland LOL" to "take" it back. Plus, i'm not even sure of Finland is technically a Scandinavian country. And since when has a high standard of living ever been "badass"? What ever happened to Scandinavians sailing around the world having sex with beautiful women? THAT is a high standard of living. ;)[QUOTE="Hot-Tamale"]I say Denmark was the easiest in terms of independent countries.

Okay, I'll agree with you on the sex with beautiful women part...that is a VERY high standard of living.
I usually equate badassery with braveness, so the bravery that it takes to institute nearly socialized medicine is indeed brave, and very noble. They have the best healthcare in the world, and everyone can get it (my friend broke his back in Sweden and was treated for free - he never saw a single bill). The only sacrifice is the 42% income tax (those are the numbers for Sweden, I believe), but they don't have to pay for healthcare out of pocket, which saves a cubic buttload of cash.
