Dog, I get 18 days a year now. In order to get 5 weeks I have to work for my company for 15 years. :russ:

It's a cruel joke of a promise.

But breh, if you start with a company at 23 years old, by 38 you're working 10 months out of the year. From 38-60 is 22 years. That's a long time Sven.

Are you talking about Scandinavian countries or further west?

:comeon: You can't seriously be this historically illiterate.

First:

Scandinavia wiki:

The history of Scandinavia is the history of the region of northern Europe known in English as Scandinavia, particularly in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.

Vikings Wiki:

Normandy; and the Swedes to the east, founding the Kievan Rus, the original Russia.

Leif Ericson, heir to Erik the Red, reached North America and set up short-lived settlements in present-day L'Anse aux Meadows, Newfoundland, and Labrador, Canada.

abbey on the island of Lindisfarne. The devastation of Northumbria's Holy Island shocked and alerted the royal Courts of Europe to the Viking presence. "Never before has such an atrocity been seen," declared the Northumbrian scholar Alcuin of York.[60] More than any other single event, the attack on Lindisfarne demonised perception of the Vikings for the next twelve centuries. Not until the 1890s did scholars outside Scandinavia begin to seriously reassess the achievements of the Vikings, recognizing their artistry, technological skills, and seamanship.[61]

The 200-year Viking influence on
European history is filled with tales of plunder and colonization, and the majority of these chronicles came from western witnesses and their descendants. Less common, though equally relevant, are the Viking chronicles that originated in the east, including the Nestor chronicles, Novgorod chronicles, Ibn Fadlan chronicles, Ibn Rusta chronicles, and many brief mentions by the Fosio bishop from the first big attack on the Byzantine Empire. Other chroniclers of Viking history include Adam of Bremen, who wrote, in the fourth volume of his Gesta Hammaburgensis Ecclesiae Pontificum, "[t]here is much gold here (in Zealand), accumulated by piracy. These pirates, which are called wichingi by their own people, and Ascomanni by our own people, pay tribute to the Danish king." In 991, the Battle of Maldon between Viking raiders and the inhabitants of the town of Maldon in Essex, England was commemorated with a poem of the same name.

These civilized Swedes were burning down churches, raiding, pillaging (a lot of it being gold), and then turning that sh*t around, and opening trade routes. Swedes are basically retired jackboys. :manny: It's easy to take 2 months vacations with generational wealth accumulated by robbing other people :yeshrug:

Doesn't have anything to do with oil reserves and nationalizing certain industries?

Sweden
  • 1939-1948 Nationalisation of most of the private railway companies.
  • 1957 The mining company LKAB is nationalized. The state had owned 50% of the corporation's shares, with options to buy the remainder, since 1907.[23]
  • 1992 A large part of the banking sector is nationalized.[24]
