Thanks to Søren Krarup Olsen (The Dane) and Bror Hellmann (The Swede) for 
confirming and explaining our common viking roots :-)

Of the Nordic countries it's only Finland that is not included in the term 
Norse. They had no Valhalla, but rather a Kalevalla. (OK, I know the two 
are not at all equivalents, but they have both been used by great comics 
writers as inspiration for great comics!)
