Nordic Model is an economically moderate, civically liberal (mostly), and mostly culturally left ideology that believes in the Nordic political model. Combining market capitalism with a large welfare state and a neo-corporatist bargaining system.

It can be debated if the model is aligned more with Social Democracy or Social Liberalism due to the similarities between the two of them. Most of its followers would claim to be the former.

Bernie Sanders is probably his biggest fan outside of Scandinavia.

Finland

• Sanna Marin is a Finnish politician, former congressman, former Minister of Transport and Communications and the current Prime Minister of Finland. As a congresswoman, she has served on the grand committee, legal committee, environment committee, and has had congressional memberships on administration, futures, and finance committees.

As prime minister, she aimed to reform the Nordic Model to adapt to the environment, also opposing nuclear energy and having made alliances with environmentalists. It self-proclaims its values ​​being "freedom, equality and solidarity" and "joint and communal responsibility". A characteristic of his government would be its opposition to Russia and Putin, who even initially opposed NATO membership, later, after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, in which Finland became favorable to NATO membership, making the alliance sign an accession protocol, in addition to being pro-Zelenskyy and pro-improvement of the relationship with Estonia. Even though it claims to be left (center-left), Finland is still the most economically free country, with Denmark behind according to The Heritage Foundation.

There are controversies surrounding her, such as the actions regarding the pandemic, the low quality of the food benefit (among other things) and a video of a private party she attended, increasing opposition, especially from conservatives.

• Social Liberalism - Ease of doing business mixed with welfare programs? Based!
• Social Democracy - Literally me, for the most part.
• Constitutional Monarchism - He allowed me to work in 3/5 of his countries.
• Social Libertarianism - A more extremist version of myself.
• Monetarism - He helped me during the 80s and 90s.
• Third Way - Being pro-NATO does not hurt.
• Keynesianism - He taught me a lot during my early years.
• Social Capitalism - My economic system.
• Technoliberalism - Centrist capitalist unity! Also, I'll tell you when I'm ready for Estonia to join our club.
• Market Socialism - The only socialist that I like. He likes markets and co-ops just like me.
• File:Kraut.png Krautism - I love this dude and his YT channel.
• Neoconservatism - We are all either in your club or want to join it.
• Welfarism - The welfare state is a big part of the nordic nations.
• Regulationist Capitalism - Capitalism is good, but the market needs regulations.

Mixed

• Classical Liberalism - We all love markets, but slow down buddy!
• Social Authoritarianism - I like your democratic brother more.
• Social Corporatism - Good guy, even if he's too authoritarian.
• Democratic Socialism - Welfare's cool, but so is capitalism. (P.S. I'm not socialist!)
• Conservative Socialism - Accuses me of abandoning the workers and their interests in favor of identity politics. Alright, maybe I've done so a few times lately, but you'll still vote for me, right?
• Yellow Socialism - I like your economic ideas but sadly you're still socialist & we're not socialists.
• Fiscal Conservatism - Please, can I spend just a little more? I promise I will be responsible.
• Esoteric Fascism - I hate you so much, but you're the only other guy at the Nordic Countries Fanclub.
• Sandersism - My #1 fanboy who doesn't seem to understand that I want to distance myself from socialism. Still, at least you say it as a compliment unlike those assholes .
• Mediacracy - Thanks for making me popular with Americans, but c'mon, Bernie isn't actually THAT bad.
• File:Soc.png Socialism - I really really hate being called a socialist, especially in the USA but I can't hate him for this. After all, we both wanted a more fair society...
• Syndicalism - I like trade unions, but this is a bit too far.
• Neoliberalism - I like to say I hate him, but the truth is that I've warmed up to him since the 90s after his son introduced me to him. I just really don't wanna upset my more left-wing fans if they see me hanging out with you from time to time.
• Reformist Marxism - I used to be one of your followers in my youth, but then I discovered class collaboration and the free market.
• Moderate Party of Sweden - My main opponent in elections. Nowadays he likes to pretend that he's an "enlightened conservative" who opposes mass immigration and Islam even though it was he who opened the borders under "The Alliance." Your neoliberal economics also sold us out to China. However, Carl Bildt has grown on me over time.
• Welfare Chauvinism - At least you like my economics unlike a lot of other right-populists, but definitely not a fan of the xenophobia and extreme cultural conservatism. And yes, Frederiksen kinda likes you, but it's just not as bad ok?
• Neo-Ottomanism - Why did you try to stop Sweden and Finland from joining NATO? At least we came to a compromise now.
• European Federalism - Denmark, Sweden and Finland are all EU members. Can't say the same for Norway and Iceland though.

• Stalinism - Njet, Molotoff! Njet, Molotoff! Valehtelit enemmän kuin itse Bobrikoff!
