Nordic Model

Nordic Model is an economically moderate, civically liberal (mostly), and mostly culturally left ideology that believes in the Nordic political model. Its economic system is market capitalism with a large welfare state and a neo-corporatist bargaining system, while also having a parliamentary form of government (3/5 monarchist, 2/5 republican).

It can be debated if the model is aligned more with Social Democracy or  Social Liberalism due to the similarities between the two of them. Most of its followers would claim to be the former, particularly outside of the Nordic countries.

Bernie Sanders is probably his biggest fan outside of Scandinavia.

Danish Social Democracy (In Danish: Socialdemokratiet) represents the social democratic political party in Denmark. Under the leadership of Mette Frederiksen, the party became increasingly skeptical of mass immigration from Islamic countries, globalization, and other  neoliberal policies that have been adopted under the social democratic parties in Europe that have caused their political performance to decline due to the abandoning of social democratic values for the rise of  third-way neoliberalism. It has been described as welfare chauvinist.

 * [[File:Marin.png]] Sanna Marin is a Finnish politician, former congressman, Minister of Transport and Communications and the Prime Minister of Finland. As a congresswoman, she has served on the grand committee, legal committee, and environment committee, and has had congressional memberships on administration, futures, and finance committees.

As prime minister, she aimed to reform the Nordic Model to adapt to the environment, also opposing nuclear energy and having made alliances with environmentalists. It self-proclaims its values ​​being "freedom, equality and solidarity" and "joint and communal responsibility". A characteristic of her government would be its opposition to Russia and Putin, who even initially opposed NATO membership, later, after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, in which Finland became favorable to NATO membership, making the alliance sign an accession protocol, in addition to being pro-Zelenskyy and pro-improvement of the relationship with Estonia. Even though it claims to be left (center-left), Finland is still the most economically free country, with Denmark behind according to The Heritage Foundation.

There are controversies surrounding her, such as the actions regarding the pandemic, the low quality of the food benefit (among other things) and a video of a private party she attended, increasing opposition, especially from the conservatives.

Likes to visit the sauna and get drunk.

His favorite drink is coffee.

Gets annoyed when people call him a socialist and gets VERY mad when they say it as an insult.

 * [[File:Eugen.png]] Eugenicism - NO, I don't know you and I TOTALLY have nothing to do with you! I swear!!
 * [[File:Multicult.png]] Multiculturalism - At first I supported you because of our falling birth rates. But then the crime rate went up, not to mention the fact that most refugees refused to integrate into our society and culture, which in turn made the far-right popular.
 * [[File:Helv.png]] Helvetic Model - My more pro-free market counterpart, essentially [[File:Clib.png]] Classical Liberalism to my [[File:Socdem.png]] Social Democracy. Nowadays they're mad at me for dropping neutrality, but I had the reason for doing so.
