Finland/Iceland/Sweden/Norway/Denmark sci fi indie shows and movies always follow the rule too. Katla, The Rain, Aniara, Melancholia, etc

The nordics, even. Scandinavia is just Sweden/Norway/Denmark.

Iceland games bring an extra amount of "the players will come back for more in-game abuse" though. Eve Online and the (failed) Dust:514 are stand-out examples of totally unforgiving yet (somehow) rewarding gameplay.

If From Software contracted out to Icelandic game devs, the result would be a game that's harder than diamonds and a lifetime achievement to complete.

Also Nordic noir books fucking rock, I love me some good Nordic noir.

The Rain's final seasons kind of went off the deep end, though.
