You know Piet, I was actually thinking of Denmark before Sweden, since my wife spent 7 weeks there during school, but I picked Sweden because I figured more people would think of them first when they thought of Scandinavia, what with Ikea and H&M and all that.

Regardless, it’s incredibly impressive if Denmark’s all settled with national debt. And they, from what I understand, also have a very high standard of living, and are one of the most (if not THE most) internet connected countries (per capita) in the world.

The last reports I read said Denmark, where my family is from, has or is about to pay off their national debt, several years earlier than anticipated. Kind of flies in the face of the argument that a cradle to grave welfare system will bankrupt a country.
