Its economic dynamism is modified by strong intra-regional disparities and by a weak cultural coherence. The region is searching for its unity within the European opening. When the Nordic countries had to vote for their membership in the European Union, deep differences appeared according to socio-cultural background and to localisation. Behind the oppositions between North and South, centers and peri-pheries, the distance to Europe clearly discriminated the vote attitudes. The statistics analysis of the productivity of secondary schools to A-levels does not result in renewing fatalistics reports on heavy determinisms.

Beyond the cartographic aspect, those games also incorporate notions of territoriality and of space analysis.
