Denmark/Norway

Denmark/Norway is a mildly popular slash pairing featuring the Nordic countries Denmark and Norway. It is sometimes referred to by fans as 'DenNor', taking obvious inspiration from the first three leters of the nations' names.

History
Denmark and Norway grew up together, apparently having shared history as vikings. At the time of the Kalmar Union, Denmark ruled over all five Nordic nations, but everyone (beginning with Sweden and Finland, followed by Norway and Iceland) left him in the end. Norway disliked Denmark and teased him often, but Denmark was, and still is, too oblivious to notice. Denmark believes to this day that the two are good friends.

Present Day
There are very few comics featuring both Denmark and Norway, and none exploring their relationship exclusively, but the few times they do appear together, there's usually some bickering. In the strip "The Nice Products that Come From Scandinavia Are...", Norway is seen to openly criticize his Danish counterpart, though his jab at Denmark's volume has no affect on the oblivious man, who replies with a cheery, "I see!"

Norway appears unafraid of Denmark on a basic level, not hesitating to strangle him with his own tie when the Dane asserts that the other Nordics should call him 'big brother'.

Fan Speculations
Because so little has been revealed about the two characters, let alone their relationship, fanon varies. In some fanworks they have a closer, more sentimental relationship, while in yet others Denmark victimizes Norway (and the other Nordics), exhibiting a cracked mentality, apparently intended to reflect the dangerous atmosphere of the Kalmarunionen. Regardless of particulars, the two characters are seen as great foils for each other, with Norway's more cold personality matched against Denmark's jocular, headstrong tendencies.
