For some easy might have beens....
In 1990, Finland sent out requests for proposals concerning Dassault Mirage 2000, General Dynamics F-16 and Saab 39 Gripen. There was no request for MiG-29. The F/A-18 was not considered at that point.

I suspect Photoshop.
Looking at a few dozen photos of NoCGV Svalbard (W303), I cannot find one that has a bar code.

NoCGV Svalbard (W303) is a Norwegian Coast Guard icebreaker and offshore patrol vessel

Looks good in norwegian and danish colours. The SAAB Eurofighter (a improved version of the AJ-37 and almost identical to the JA-37) was one of the fighter planes on the list, when Norway, Denmark, Holland and Belgium i 1973 decided find a common replacement for their F-104Gs. The four countries needed a total of 346 new planes. Other planes on the list were the Dassault-Breguet Mirage 1E, the SEPECAT Jaguar (alone or in a mix with Mirages), the F-16, the F-17 and the P-530 Cobra. In the end the winner was the F-16, which in Flyvevåbnet (RDAF) got the type letter E-, and that would also have been the type letter painted on the Saab Eurofighter, if it had been the winner. The type letter R-, was the type letter painted on the F-104Gs (the TF-104Gs got the type letter TF-. The three diggit number was the last diggits in the USAF serial number. As the SAAB Eurofighter did not have a USAF serial number, the sequense of numbers would have startet with E-001. Flyvevåbnets F-35 Drakens started with A-001 (and AR-100 for the RF-35s and AT-150 for TF-35s)

Great links, which send me down memory lane. When I was trained as a weapon instructor in the danish army home guard, I tried to shoot with the danish version of the Suomi M/31 submachine gun - Hovea m/41 - with the 50 rounds magazine. Heavy but very accurate due to its rather long barrel. You could hit a target at 150-200 meters, when it was in the semi automatic mode.

What if Tirpitz wasn't sunk in the Norwegian fiord but just bottled up due to lack of fuel then taken over by the Norwegian Navy after '45 ? ???

Possible scenario:  somehow WW2 doesn’t happen (perhaps Hitler chokes on a nut) and the West gets more directly involved in the Finnish war against the USSR.

My favorite scenario to play out in Hearts of Iron, choosing Sweden and reunifying(/conquering) with Norway, Denmark and Finland in the 1930's, then WW2 becomes a four way fight between the Allies, Axis, Soviets and Swedish Empire :P

Does this GB need to focus just on the Scadinavian nations, or could also include Scadinavian-built equipment for nations outside of the region, just as the Saab 35 in Austria or the Strv 122 and CV90 in Ukraine?

A little more musical inspiration...what about a Swedish Space program, in Devo-ish vein?
