I have spent some time living in Sweden. I don't know about the other countries.
Swedish people are extremely... mild. Big emotions are not their thing. There is a reason why you see South American soap operas and not Swedish. They are not a nation of emotionless robots, but are not huge on publicly expressing big feelings.
They are also not used to conflict. Somehow collectively they are not socialised to argue and fight and disagree.
Of course a Swedish person is not likely to publicly just say he or she is fucking unhappy when they know this is a questionnaire to decide what country is "good" and what isn't. They don't want to make trouble and also they are not comfortable with expressing shit.
They can have very strong opinions. It's polite to act mild unless with friends
Of course they can have opinions, but they are not outwardly super passionate.
Great, now my mind is on it. I've met some very rude and pompouse swedes, but also sweet and kind ones. I've always thought the mildness was being polite, and it can be very different when they decide to not be polite.
I'm going to go ask friends about it.
