What version of the game are you playing?
If Norway exists in his game it most likely is VIP.
In VIP with Scandinavia, all 3 kindgoms have to support the Danes unreservedly. For SWE and in particular NOR, that is a low % chance to happen. Since we are talking about an ahistorical event, the chains as currently designed (they are getting tweaked for VIP:R 0.3) reflect the historical reality that Scandinavianism, while talked about, really lacked support (esp in Norway, where the direction was for independence from Sweden, not integration into a larger Scandinavian state) and thus forming Scandinavia is more luck than design currently in VIP. If you form it, you've hit a jackpot and achieved something the leaders at the time could not, if you don't form it, at least you tried. But there is no guarantee a player will form Scandinavia in VIP, though the chances will be a bit higher in the next version of VIP than currently.
