Nordic Model

Nordic Model is an economically moderate, civically liberal (mostly), and mostly culturally 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 due to 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 person.

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.

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:Social corpratism.png]] Social Corporatism - Good guy, even if he's too authoritarian.
 * [[File:Dsa.png]] Democratic Socialism - Welfare's cool, but so is capitalism. (P.S. I'm not socialist!)
 * [[File:Consocf.png]] Conservative Socialism - Accuses me of abandoning the workers and their interests in favor of identity politics. Alright, maybe I've done so a few times lately, but you'll still vote for me, right?
 * [[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:Synd.png]] Syndicalism - I like trade unions, but this is a bit too far.
 * [[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:Bernst.png]] Reformist Marxism - I used to be one of your followers in my youth, but then I discovered class collaboration and the free market.
 * [[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 he 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.
 * [[File:WelfChauvin.png]] Welfare Chauvinism - At least you like my economics unlike a lot of other right-populists, but definitely not a fan of the xenophobia and extreme cultural conservatism. And yes, Frederiksen kinda likes you, but it's just not as bad ok?
 * [[File:Ottoman.png]] Neo-Ottomanism - Why did you try to stop Sweden and Finland from joining NATO? At least we came to a compromise now.
 * [[File:European_Federalism.png]] European Federalism - Denmark, Sweden and Finland are all EU members. Can't say the same for Norway and Iceland though.
