Phew I was right!! It is Scandanavia, along with Sweden, Norway, Denmark, I thought things had changed so I didn't say anything.
I am not sure about Iceland or Greenland, maybe there are too?
Anyhow, Happy Times, I understand what you are saying, and I think a few others do too. But the majority of people have lost land, belongings and loved ones during WW2 and over the centuries, by invasions and reinvasions. Both of my sides of family lost land, property and people due to WW2. My mums side lost there farm to a thing called 'Collective Farming' by those nasty invading Russian Hordes
, and a few of the children got 'hurt' by a handful of completely sick and evil Russian Soldiers. I would love for my family to get their farm back or compensation or revenge against those soldiers. But it ain't going to happen. It is a waste of time thinking or worrying about it.
Like Kapitan said "Lets move on". Otherwise history is bound to repeat itself. Hopefully it won't, otherwise Europe, USA and the majority of the world won't be worrying about China and the economic and regional giant it is becoming. There will be a few other things on our mind!
