Description:

Danes and Norwegians were part of the same country for hundreds of years, and they’re still family.  Written Danish and written Norwegian are very similar – so similar that I once tried to find a Danish-Norwegian dictionary and was told there was no such thing.  The spoken language is a little more different, but still Danes and Norwegians can understand what the other is saying.  

Danes and Norwegians like each other.  They care about each other.  They even sometimes cheer for each other’s football teams.

But like any family, there’s envy involved. Envy.
