Nordic Model

Nordic Model is an economically variable, civically moderate, and mostly culturally center-left ideology that believes in the Nordic political model. Combining market capitalism with a large welfare state and a neo-corporatist bargaining system.

It can be debated if the model is aligned more with Social Democracy or  Social Liberalism caused by the similarities between the two of them. Most of its followers would claim to be the former.

Bernie Sanders is probably his biggest fan outside of Scandinavia.

Personality
Shy, reserved, and pessimistic, but when you get to know him (or get him drunk), he is a very optimistic and happy go lucky kind of a person.

Likes to visit the sauna and get drunk.

His favorite drink is coffee.

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

Mixed

 * [[File:Clib.png]] Classical Liberalism - We all love markets, but slow down buddy!
 * [[File: Socauth.png]] Social Authoritarianism - I like your democratic brother more.
 * [[File:corptism.png]] Corporatism - I love your economics but please be less authoritarian.
 * [[File: Dsa.png]] Democratic Socialism - Welfare's cool, but so is capitalism. (P.S. I'm not socialist!)
 * [[File: Yellsoc.png]] Yellow Socialism - I like your economic ideas but sadly you're still socialist & we're not socialists.
 * [[File:Fiscon.png]] Fiscal Conservatism - Please, can I spend just a little more? I promise I would be responsible.
 * [[File: Esofash.png]] Esoteric Fascism - I hate you so much, but you're the only other guy at the Nordic Countries Fanclub.
 * [[File:Sanders.png]] Sandersism - My #1 fanboy who doesn't seem to understand that I want to distance myself from socialism. Still, at least you say it as a compliment unlike [[File:Trumpism.png]] those assholes [[File:Plcn2.png]].
 * [[File:Mediastocracy flair.png]] Mediacracy - Thanks for making me popular with Americans, but c'mon, Bernie isn't actually THAT bad.
 * [[File: Soc.png]] Socialism - I really really hate being called a socialist especially in the USA but I can't hate him for this. After all, we both wanted a more fair society...
 * [[File: Neoliberal-icon.png]] Neoliberalism - I like to say I hate him, but the truth is that I've warmed up to him since the 90s after [[File:3way.png]] his son introduced me to him. I just really don't wanna upset my more left-wing fans if they see me hanging out with you from time to time.
 * [[File:ModPartyicon.png]] Moderate Party of Sweden - My main opponent in elections. Nowadays he likes to pretend that he's an "enlightened conservative" who opposes mass immigration and islam even though it was him who opened the borders under "The Alliance." Your neoliberal economics also sold us out to China. However, Carl Bildt has grown on me over time.
