I am surprised that the score is so even. I expected 10-0 to Sweden

A very biased view:
  • Location: Norway (with the expection of Western and Southern Sweden). Stockholm is on the wrong side of the country.
  • Climate diversity: Norway. Still, both are equally bad in terms of weather.
  • Scenary/landscape: Definitely Norway
  • Urban: Sweden
  • Language: Sweden. One of the best-sounding languages in the world.
  • Demographic: Norway
  • Culture/food/holidays: Sweden.
  • Entertainment/things to see/do: Neither
  • History: Norway (at least since 1940)
  • Education: A tie, I guess
  • Cost of living: Sweden but keep in mind that the average salary is lower.
  • Career opportunity: Norway
  • Where would you rather live? Definitely Norway, mostly due to much higher salaries, better economy, less conformism and political correctness.
  • Which country is more interesting? Neither

I'd love to visit but like Julia said I could never live in either one. If I had to pick one though it would be Norway by far, even though both countries are beautiful (Norway might be a bit more spectacular) Sweden is too much of a basket case of radical feminism, extreme political correctness, irritating "we-are-the-world" and "we-need-to-save-all-those-poor-brown-and-black-countries-because-we're-so-much-more-advanced-than-them" syndromes and Islam loving apologists.
