          Don’t worry I’m sure they’ll come up with tight immigration between states eventually

          The relationship between states in the EU is not very different from the relationship between US States under the Articles of Confederation. It’s not a big a distinction as you think.

                They will probably never join. Iirc there was a referendum once and they are quite happy with their arrangement.

                Norway is part of Schengen and the European economic area.

      Yeah honestly. I know we (USA), do any number of things In a screwed up way, but it’s also what I’m used to. There’s NO border control anywhere around there? Seems weird to me.

        When I was in Germany in 2022, I traveled freely around Germany, France, Belgium, Switzerland, and Czechia. I only got asked for my Passport in Switzerland, and then at the airports. Otherwise, no, you’d just be driving or on a train and the signs would change to French suddenly.

        I loved it. I wish we fucking would relax our shit in the US. It was hella neat.

        Do you have border control between states? It’s basically the same thing with schengen. No control between countries on the “inside”, but rigorous control to get in.

      The lake is actually ~99% on Norwegian territory, it’s just a tiny edge on the end that’s given to Sweden and Finland. We once tried to give Finland a mountain peak though (for their 100th anniversary of independence from Russia), but the constitution states the kingdom is indivisible so the legal work was deemed too much. It would have been their highest peak if it went through.

      Nothing is out there! All there is is a lake and birds and fish. … And a wooden walkway. … And a big ass cement block. But there’s nothing else there. It’s a complete void. The environment is perfectly safe!

      Just made for a good border-point, really.

      This is all imagined though as I refuse to recognize the sovereignty of Finland and Norway - long live the Great Swedish Empire

    If you slip, fall and hit your head and loose conciousness during that, in a way such that you are lying exactly on the border between two or three nations, to which hospital will you be brought? And how are insurances going to deal with this?

      Seems like a non-issue to me. You’ll go to whichever hospital is closest. If you’re resident in one of the countries you’ll be in EU/EEA and get the usual healthcare for residents of whichever country the hospital is in, if you’re non-EU it’ll depend on what travel insurance you have.

        eh it’s not like they’re going to change what care they give you just because you don’t have insurance, it’ll just affect what happens afterwards.

    Isn’t it supposed to be a pile of rocks there? (Treriksröset) Or is it this block that is that’s named Treriksröset? But a “röse” is supposed to be a like of rocks?

      Cement is kind of a big pile of rocks if you think about it. And yes, that is Treriksröset.

      pretty sure it’s co-owned, and it seems to be accessed from the finnish side because that’s where the solid ground is, though you have to pass through the swedish or norwegian border to get there.
