I'm pretty sure the Scandinavian countries are older than counting years with four digits.
Sweden has technically only existed since 1523 when we got our independance from Denmark. Norway has been under both Sweden and Denmark for numerous years until 1905 when the Swedish-Norwegian union ended. Denmark on the other hand has existed atleast since 863 as that is the first time it is mentioned. So it depends on how you count.
Oh those fucking danes, must always beat us :-/ waves swedish flag 😥
