As geographically distant countries with small ethnically uniform populations, the Nordic political and economic systems do not translate well e.g. Venezuela. It should also be noted that the economy of Norway, for instance, is heavily dependent on exporting natural resources, primarily fossil fuels, similar to the Gulf states. In short, their generous public programs are financed by transferring wealth out of their country rather than developing wealth creating industries within their own.
