Norwegians are $$$

No wonder why small border towns and villages like Strömstad, Charlottenberg and Töcksfors has some of the biggest and most successful shopping malls and supermarkets in entire Sweden...

Now to get back on topic: if Scandinavia became a single country, what would happen to the monarchies of Norway, Sweden and Denmark? Would Scandinavia become a republic and would the majority of Norwegians, Swedes and Danes support that? I know that in the Netherlands the support for a republic is only about 10% but perhaps Scandinavians are more open to the idea?

That's the main problem with us uniting. Finland will also have problems.

They do not speak the same languages so I don't think it would work to become one.

That will not be an issue, take a look at Belgium Most Norwegians can understand spoken Swedish and Danish perfectly well to make out what is being said.

Swedish, Norwegian and Danish are much more similar to each other than French, German and Dutch (Belgium)

Belgium is not the best example because that country is very much divided based on language. Switzerland is more like it.

Switzerland isn't having any problems because of language, so I don't see why a united Scandinavia would.

What you are saying does not make any sense. I know they have different native language, what I am saying is that will not be a problem because of how similar our languages are to each other compared to the official languages in Belgium and also Switzerland.
