Norway may well be considered the upstart little brother, or hick relative of the Scandinavian nations.
This partially because it was a long time the subservient partner of Denmark-Norway, and then later passed to Sweden as war-reparations after Denmark backed Napoleon (never mind the earlier event where Trøndelag was given to Sweden after the 30 years war, only to be handed back a decade later because Sweden found them to be unruly).
That said, mostly it is playful banter. For example, all nations have similar jokes where representatives of the nations try to one up each other, and the nation of the story teller always come out on top to a massive degree.
