History YMMV / ScandinaviaandtheWorld

** FoeYay: Sweden and Finland.

* MexicansLoveSpeedyGonzales: Pretty much any fan of the comic, since all the characters are based on national stereotypes. As far as non-nation characters go, Special Lion is this for the Finnish. Most Finns think the whole "retarded lion" joke is ActuallyPrettyFunny, to the point that one posted "go go retarded lion!" after Finland won the World Hockey Championships.

** Australia- He brought his surfboard up north and when there were no waves to ride he rode his wombat instead!

* HoYay

* LesYay: Sister Norway and Sister Denmark. Sister Sweden and... well, everyone.

* NightmareFuel: Sister China's [[https://satwcomic.com/don-t-let-the-sun-catch-ya first appearance.]]

* ViewerGenderConfusion: Christiania is a boy with long hair. Lampshaded when Denmark is surprised that Japan can tell (since he has seen plenty of [[{{Bishonen}} Bishonens]] in anime).

* PortmanteauCoupleName: Fans who [[{{Shipping}} ship]] [[HomoeroticSubtext Denmark/Norway]] tend to refer to it as "Dennor".

** Estonia practically is the mayor of woobieland: SATW division.

* CrazyAwesome:

* WhatMeasureIsANonBadass: In-universe. [[http://humon.deviantart.com/art/METAL-186615899 Denmark is insufficiently metal.]]

* HollywoodHomely: Averted, Humon goes out of her way to show how Finland and his sister are ''not'' sexy beautiful people, and are plain at best. She also tries to show that Norway is also just slightly overweight, and has recently adjusted Sister Denmark's character design to make it clearer that she's meant to look more masculine.

* FriendlyFandoms: With ''Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia'', due to sharing a similar premise and tone. It also helps that both series are [[EnemyMine united in a shared dislike]] for the aforementioned ''Polandball''.

** North Pole, a white haired IceQueen with her hair in a braid, looks surprisingly similar to [[{{Disney/Frozen}} Elsa]] or [[{{WebAnimation/RWBY}} Weiss]].

** Norway and Denmark, who have the best friendship between any two of the characters, with Denmark frequently doing things like clinging to Norway, frequently worrying about him and even sleeping in the same bed when one or both of them is/are drunk. This one is [[BiTheWay probably intentional]] on Denmark's part.

** Sweden going psychotic when his Yule Goat is burned down yet again [[http://satwcomic.com/goat-steak]].

** France. She only appeared in 17 strips so far (out of hundreds) but the sheer amount of [[http://satwcomic.com/fanart Fan Art and cosplay of her]] decidedly puts her among the most popular minor characters.
** Mexico, whose character design is loved for parodies the SpicyLatina stereotype, appeared with America in the "Fan couple art" after being used on 1 strip, as a ''joke'' no less. The author note seems to indicate that the pairing is genuine on both side.

** After [[http://satwcomic.com/coat-of-arms Coat Of Arms]] came out, the other lions were quickly forgotten, but Special Lion became a fan favorite and has stuck around. There's even offical [[TheMerch merch]] with him on it!

** [[https://satwcomic.com/never-say-never Never say never]] where Iceland grows bananas using heat. The world of ''Webcomic/StandStillStaySilent'' is subject to BlackMarketProduce because Icelandic greenhouses are heavily implied to be the only places growing fruit. [[http://www.sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=549 The page mentioning the greenhouses]] (please be warned it's also the comic's only page to have gotten its comment section shut down due to getting overwhelmed with virulent comments) was published after ''Never say never''.

* FiveTokenBand: There is no outright stated sexuality, but we can make some guesses based on who the nordics show interest in. Denmark is an ExtremeOmnisexual, Sweden is gay, Finland is straight, Iceland is ace (or autosexual) and Norway is possibly pan.
* FunnyAneurysmMoment: [[http://satwcomic.com/the-boogeyman-comes-at-night This comic]] is, with the [[MakeTheBearAngryAgain Crimean Crisis]], quite... unfortunately relevant.

* ReplacementScrappy: Trump!America is widely considered by many comic readers to be inferior than original America, not only because of the fact that he isn't as funny, he also stands out like a sore thumb whenever he appears due to being an embodiment of a political meme will likely be aged badly. Humon herself admits that Trump!America is too limiting for writing America and decided to [[https://satwcomic.com/return-of-the-lovable-dork bring him back]] much sooner than she intended.

** Norway and Denmark, who have the best relationship between each others and Denmark frequently doing things like clinging to Norway, frequently worried about him and even slept together frequently when drunk. This one is probably intentional on Denmark part as he is revealed to be BiTheWay.

** Nazi Germany and Denmark, mostly on Nazi side ([[{{Irony}} eh...]]) as he constantly invades Denmark's personal space.

** England apparently still [[http://satwcomic.com/bedtime-drama-2 sleeps in the same bed]] as all of his grown sons in their underwear (plus New Zealand).
** The relationship between Netherland / Denmark / Germany seems to parody this at it frequently involve the other two lifting Germany's shirt as a joke, usually in front of [[YaoiFangirl Sister Japan]].
* FiveTokenBand: There is no outright stated sexuality, but we can make some guesses based on who the nordics show interest in. Denmark is DepravedBisexual, with a bit of ExtremeOmnisexual. Sweden is gay, Finland is straight, Iceland is ace (or auto sexual) and Norway is possibly pan.

* ReplacementScrappy: Trump!America is widely considered by many comic readers to be inferior than original America, not only because of the fact that he isn't as funny, he also stands out like a sore thumb whenever he appears due to will likely be aged badly. Humon herself admits that Trump!America is too limiting for writing America and decided to [[https://satwcomic.com/return-of-the-lovable-dork bring him back]] much sooner than she intended.

* CrazyAwesome: Australia- He brought his surfboard up north and when there were no waves to ride he rode his wombat instead!
%%** Iceland.

* CriticalResearchFailure: For the ''VideoGame/PokemonGo'' strip, Japan gets America interested in ''Pokemon'' again by creating the app and giving it to him. The only problem here is that Niantic, the creators of the app, is an American company to begin with, and they had partnered with Game Freak to make it. Then again, it's not like [[http://www.theverge.com/2016/7/25/12269466/nintendo-stock-plunge-pokemon-go other companies haven't made that same mistake...]]

** There's no canon stated sexuality, but it's easy to assume the Nordics each have their own; Denmark is a DepravedBisexual, Norwegian is pan, Sweden is gay, Finland is straight (though more than willing to let the woman be on top) and Iceland is ace.

* ReplacementScrappy: Trump!America is widely considered by many comic readers to be inferior than original America, not only because of the fact that he isn't as funny, he also stands out like a sore thumb whenever he appears due to will likely be aged badly. Humon herself admits that Trump!America is too limiting for writing America and decided to [[https://satwcomic.com/return-of-the-lovable-dork bring him back]].

** [[https://satwcomic.com/children-s-entertainer Sweden as a party clown]] somehow managed to leave Fennoswede, Kven and Sealand traumatised and Christiania missing AnArmAndALeg.

* ViewerGenderConfusion: Christiania is a boy with long hair. Lampshaded when Denmark is surprised that Japan can tell.
%%** Iceland.

** The relationship between Netherland / Denmark / Germany seems to parody this at it frequently involve the other two lifting Germany's shirt as a joke, usually in front of [[YaoiFangirl Sister japan]].

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: Played for laughs in the ''[[http://satwcomic.com/children-will-love-it Children Will Love It]]'' comic, making a joke on the Danish amusement park BonBon Land's mascots that are viewed as incredibly sexual by tourists. The park is mostly for children.

* NightmareFuel: Sister China's first appearance.

** [[https://satwcomic.com/never-say-never Never say never]] where Iceland grows bananas using heat.
