The truth of the matter is that Scandis are the vestigial remains of the Vikings that stayed at home and tended to their matriarchs; the best genetic stock went to invade high societies like Normandy and then England/Ireland, and finally America (from the British Isles)

Scandis today are nothing but the WW2 remnants that lost to Nazi Germany and then lost to the Allies

The greatest minds wrote the literature of their time and influenced the minds of people; Scandinavian literature is barebones. That's because they never had any need for it up in their island-peninsulas free of danger
