It seems like every single Scandinavian of note is or was Swedish. The other countries...

It seems like every single Scandinavian of note is or was Swedish. The other countries, including Finland (yes I know it's not Scandinavian), seem to be complete voids. Nothing interesting or important has ever come from there. Why?

Yes we're irrelevant and that's a good thing.

>is or was Swedish
if you dwell deep enough is/or was Danish and then is/or was Eesti/Finnish

That's simply because you're uninformed.
I'm guessing you're talking about natural science people only? Even then you'd still be wrong but it's more understandable since Sweden had the most of those.

There are many notable Danish people also.

I can't think of one famous canadian except justin trudeau.

Name five notable people from Norway.
True, the Danes do have some notable people. Norway is truly a void however.

Define noteworthy.

Mario Lemiuex

>yes I know it's not Scandinavian
Then why do you wonder there aren't any Scandinavians from here?

Amundsen, Nansen, Ibsen, Stoltenberg, Grieg, Munch.
That's six off the top off my head but it feels correct to put Amundsen and Nansen together.
>inb4 "but I don't know them so they don't count"
Yes that's why you are asking I'm aware.

Morten Harket
Kygo
Edvard Grieg
Magnus Carlsen.
Leif Eriksson (discovered Canada)

Never heard of Celsius or Nokia, for example?

Never heard of 'em.

Varg Vikernes
Oystein aarseth
Gylve Nagell
Vegard Tveitan
Kristian Espedal

Who?

I accept your concession

Most notable five people from Norway

Bequeens were norwegian and conquered England, or 1gland

Finland has Tom of Finland and that's all they need.

>Amundsen, Nansen
Explorers, doesn't count.
>Ibsen
>theatre
kek
>Stoltenberg
>secretary of NATO
kek
>Grieg, Munch
I'll give you these two.
Very meh overall.

Fuck you.

As bad as it may be, an entire genre of music came out of a 5 million sparsely populated country

No need to get buttmad.

Bathory made black metal

Amundsen and Breivik are very famous

Irrelevancy is a good thing, we've always been isolated and wish to remain so. No global attention needed.

Funny how OP ignored my post here Let's add medical insulin

I noticed the same thing, because NOKIA was a huge thing.

Estonia is even better than you at this. The most undercover Nordic countries are Estonia and Faroe

>the guy that invented a linear scale for temperature
>the once-great but now irrelevant phone company
Not the best of examples there.

Celsius was Swedish

>Amundsen, Nansen
Amundsen was the first who explored both the north and south pole, and both of them revolutionized arctic technology and navigation in the process.
>Ibsen
He's the most played playwright in history and invented the formula and blueprint which every single film, tv-show and narrative media in existence is based on. He's the most influential man in the history of storytelling, and also the most translated playwright in history (yes he beat Shakespeare).
>Stoltenberg
Longest sitting leader of the biggest military alliance in modern history.

Linux and IRC also.

NATO is governed by the US. The secretary is a figurehead.

>the guy who invented a linear scale for temperature that is used literally everywhere except in USA in science, medical use, industry, you name it
>the once-great but now irrelevant phone company that is now one of the worlds leading internet infrastructure constructor that pioneered and shaped the cellphones to the point that every modern smartphone company still pays royalties to it.

Please stop embarrassing your country online
We already have a horrible reputation

>Norway
Snow oil sheikhs
>Finland
le heckin wholesome twink paradise uwu
>Denmark
Can't even speak properly, German hat

Yup, checks out

I never said he was Finnish. OP talked about Scandinavia and Finland, I mentioned something from Scandinavia and Finland, you fucking autist(ts)

The figurehead is still a famous name, even more so now because of how much he's been in the news regarding Ukraine.
It's like the US president, sure he's a figurehead but obviously he's still massively famous.
