Nordic Model

Nordic Model is an economically variable, civically moderate, and 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.

Bernie Sanders is probably his biggest fan.

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 very, VERY mad if you call him a Socialist
