And on a lighter note

Scandanavia and the World is a webcomic done in the Hetalia style, with anthropomophic representations of the various nations in Europe, with occasional visits by the United States, Australia, New Zealand and so on. It's very cute and concentrating on various national stereotypes. Fortunately for USAians, the artist includes explanations at the bottom for all the jokes

Oh, I know SatW! Me and Soph have introduced it to our linguist-circle of friends and it's very popular.

Though, while Humon gets a lot of things right, I really don't feel like any of the Swedens are good stereotypes - or maybe that they're ONLY stereotypes of working middle-class Stockholm. And she gets the Åland/Sweden relationship ALL wrong.

Finalnd is fantastically done, though.

This is a crackup! Thanks for posting it!
When I was in Sweden the relationships were pretty clear. Very funny!

I pointed a Scandinavian friend of mine towards Humon's stuff. She thought it was hilarious, and spot-on :D
