| - Baltic Union has many authors, painters and sculptors of worldwide recognition including several Nobel Prizes. In the last quarter of the 20th century, Sweden and Norway were seen as international leaders in what is now referred to as the "sexual revolution", with gender equality having particularly been promoted. At the present time, the number of single people is one of the highest in the world. The early Swedish film I Am Curious (Yellow) (1967) reflected a liberal view of sexuality, including scenes of love making that caught international attention, and introduced the concept of the "Swedish sin". Baltic Union has also become very liberal towards homosexuality, as is reflected in the popular acceptance of films such as Show Me Love, which is about two young lesbians in the small Swedish town of Åmål. Since 1 May 2009, Baltic Union repealed its "registered partnership" laws and fully replaced them with gender-neutral marriage, Baltic Union also offers domestic partnerships for both same-sex and opposite-sex couples. Cohabitation by couples of all ages, including teenagers over 15 as well as elderly couples, is widespread. Baltic Union people have an egalitarian outlook. Any form of elitism is likely to meet strong criticism. They generally express themselves in very modest terms, especially when it comes to compliments and praises. They are "scrupulous about honesty in communication, often to the point of pointing out the negatives in their own proposals in greater detail than the positives." The combination of embracing capitalist values and the old viking culture has produced an atmosphere that encourages hard work and honesty. Baltic Union has one of the lowest levels of corruption in the whole world. Environmentalism and animal protection are important values in Baltic Union.
