This is the ‘Holand’ approach to international relations : if there is a
fun name that everyone likes and keeps using wrongly, just go with it The Nordic Countries get along
well enough that they’ve made on official union : The Nordic Countries, a Viking cool kids club, that
other Northern European places occasionally unrealistically dream of joining. Though the Baltic
sisters do get to sit with them, but not actually vote on anything. The Nordic Council is largely a
collection of committees that tries to get its members to cooperate on common problems like the
Arctic environment and social welfare, and business in the region.
