'''''[httphttps://satwcomic.com/ Scandinavia and the World]''''' is a popular webcomicweb comic by [[Deviant ARTDeviantArt]] memberuser [[Humon]]. It is a comic about stereotypes, history and culture in the form of [[Nations as People|national personifications]] interacting with one another (not unlike [[Axis Powers Hetalia]]), but focusing on, well, [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Scandinavia]]. The main characters are Denmark, a cheerful, but culturally naive party boy; Norway, a friendly and calm nature lover; and Sweden, the uptight technology expert.
 
An [[Animated Adaptation]] (for the [[Web Animation|Webinternet]]) is in the works,{{verify}} though [[Schedule Slip|progress is sporadic]]. Now{{when}} has its own [https://web.archive.org/web/20180522144152/http://scandanaviaandtheworld.wikia.com/wiki/SatW_Wiki wiki] (still being built).
 
Humon has two other webcomicsweb comics, ''[[Love and Tentacles]]'' and ''[[Niels]]''. In addition, her DA account regularly features works based on Northern European folklore, with plenty of notes.

== A-E ==
* [[Abhorrent Admirer]]: Sister Finland to Sweden. Though it's less her looks, and more her [[Knife Nut]] tendencies that make her abhorrent. That, and he [[Invisible to Gaydar|doesn't swing that way]].
* [[Accidental Pervert]]: England thinks he is this in [http://satwcomic.com/monster this comic], but Sister Denmark doesn't even notice.
Line 87:
* [[Boobs of Steel]]: Lady Germany is very well-endowed and not to be messed with.
{{quote|'''[[The Voiceless|Finland]]:''' ''([http://satwcomic.com/iron-lady holding a sign])'' Women should be respected. Lady Germany should be ''feared''!!!}}
* [[Bottle Fairy]]: Sister Sweden
* [[Brain Bleach]]: Sweden wants to poke his eyes out after seeing porn of Sister Sweden on the Net.
* [[Brawn Hilda]]: Sister Germany
Line 159 ⟶ 158:
** Japan and Sister Japan have always shut eyes based on looking stereotypically Asian, except when REALLY shocked.
** From what's been seen of the Koreas and China, it's apparently only the Japans that are like this. Most likely done as a subversion to the massive eyes seen in anime. Then again, we've only seen South Korea once, and North Korea's face (and entire body) is hidden underneath his flag....
 
== F-J ==
* [[The Faceless]]
** North Korea. He wears a giant flag over his head and body and all you can see of his head is [[By the Lights of Their Eyes|his eyes]].
Line 195 ⟶ 196:
* [[Hair-Trigger Temper]]: Finland
* [[Half-Identical Twins]]: Most of the sisters look just like their male counterparts, but with longer hair and no facial hair. It's most pronounced with the Denmarks, where the sister even has boyish features and a skinny figure.
* [[BottleHard-Drinking FairyParty Girl]]: Sister Sweden
* [[Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?]]: Sweden in the earlier comics. With the introduction of Åland into the comics, however, hiding his sexuality has been [[Jossed]]. Sweden still tries to hide it. [http://satwcomic.com/boys-will-be-boys Åland], not so much.
* [[Head Pet]]
Line 222 ⟶ 224:
* [[Interspecies Romance]]: Wales×New Zealand. [[But You Screw One Goat!|Did we mention New Zealand's a sheep?]] [http://satwcomic.com/sheep-are-cute Did we also mention New South Wales is their offspring?]
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: [[Eagle Land|America]] by all appearances, a sometimes-[[Jerkass|Jerkassy]], loudmouthed but generally (fairly) well-intentioned idiot. [[Fridge Brilliance|Hey, that]] [[Stephen Colbert|sounds familiar!]]<ref>[[Don't Explain the Joke|He really]] '''[[Don't Explain the Joke|is]]''' [[Don't Explain the Joke|America!]]</ref>
 
== K-O ==
* [[Kangaroo Court]]: [http://satwcomic.com/judgement-day Poor Denmark gets sued in one], with Sweden as his lawyer and ''America'' as judge.
* [[Keet]]: Denmark
Line 234 ⟶ 238:
* [[Megane]]: Sweden; Åland; Belgium
* [[Misplaced Nationalism]] / [[Internet Backdraft]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20110712210117/http://humon.deviantart.com/journal/42067079/ Humon herself actually stopped drawing strips temporarily because of this.]
* [[Mistaken for Gay]]: In the strip [https://satwcomic.com/fat-bear-week "Fat Bear Week"], America mistakes an entire ''state'' for gay. {{spoiler|[[Played With]] in that, [[wikipedia:Fat Bear Week|unlike in Real Life]], Alaska actually was talking about gay men.}}
* [[Mistaken for Racist]]: In one comic, Denmark mistakes South Africa for a monkey, causing South Africa to attack Denmark. This stems from the stereotype that all Danes are racist without realizing it.
** Most likely, it is also a reference to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0CcswBjn7Y this] where a Danish TV host mistook a picture of an African man for a monkey. Also, far from all Danes are racist but are often seen this way because the most racist political party in the country is also the (arguably) most influencial one -- plus that whole thing with the drawings.
Line 261 ⟶ 266:
* [[Only Sane Man]]: What Sweden wants to see himself as.
* [[Our Vampires Are Different]]: Romania would rather steal your wallet than your blood.
 
== P-T ==
* [[Pass the Popcorn|Pass The Fish]]: [http://satwcomic.com/the-wonder-of-glasses Norway doesn't need to own a TV] because he can watch Sweden and Denmark winding each other up.
* [[Patriotic Fervor]]: Inverted with modern Germany, who doesn't like flying his flag around since it might make his people prideful, but played straight with the Scandinavian trio, seeing it as a symbol of joy and happiness. [http://satwcomic.com/evil-flag And when it's someone's birthday.]
Line 285 ⟶ 292:
* [[Self-Deprecation]]: While the other nations don't get off easy, Humon is quite willing to poke a lot of fun at her native nation.

* [[Twin Threesome Fantasy]]: [http://satwcomic.com/pacifist Oh, Denmark...]
 
== U-Z ==
* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]]: They're not actually married, but the pairing of Finland with Sister Sweden is functionally equivalent to this.
* [[Unsound Effect]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130311185227/http://satwcomic.com/sauna-time VIHTA!!!] The same comic gives us "SNOW!!!"
