The War Within Alpha - Warbands Feature Overview

Well to keep the trend going then this is a thread about the nordics...
For those who do not know the nordic countries include
Denmark
Sweden
Norway
Iceland
Åland
Greenland
Finland
and the Faroe Islands
As a dane i know most about Denmark ofc but theres prolly many more from the other countries to answer more questions
So to get the ball rolling i can start off with revealing that we arent the peaceful people we appear to be - Sweden and Denmark has fought more wars between us than any other country has fought wars even Britain...
Anyway - ask away!
Edit: Visual help

Should we fear you rising up and pillaging Europe again?

The blondes in the UK just dye it, very few are naturally blonde anymore. Even mine has turned to a dark blonde/almost brown colour. Originally Posted by timelord

Of all the people I know I'd say about 4 out of 5 are blondes to varying degrees.
So I guess that's quite a lot.
A rather small island (actually several islands) in between Sweden and Finland. It's an autonomous part of Finland. It's also completely swedish speaking (Finland itself is bilingual, Finnish/Swedish). Originally Posted by Mormolyce

1. We got allot of fish. Billion dollar industry in fact. Originally Posted by peggleftw

Fishing is also a part of our culture, mainly prior to the 1969 oil findings and the few years that followed.Last edited by kailtas; 2012-03-13 at 11:20 PM.

Do Fins dislike the other countries up there? I asked this Finnish guy at a bar if he'd ever gone to Sweden and he almost punched me.
