Question: Washington (CNN) President Barack Obama has hosted plenty of confrontational foreign leaders at the White House, haggling over military aggression, trade disputes and any other irritant that brings a head of state into the Oval Office. When Obama convened the leaders of the Nordic bloc on Friday, it was not one of those meetings. "This was a very useful and important conversation, although there was probably too much agreement to make for as exciting a multilateral meeting as I sometimes participate in," Obama joked after a 90-minute session with the leaders of Finland, Norway, Sweden, Iceland and Denmark Friday. Amid turmoil in the Middle East, cross-border aggression in Eastern Europe, maritime disputes in Asia and restive governments in South America, the northern European nations remain an oasis of liberal cool for a president who has sometimes been described in similar terms.President Obama will host a state dinner to honor five Nordic nationsObama has praised the countries' stability 
 Question:It's no wonder Obama is fond of musing to his aides, "Why can't all countries be like the _ countries?".

Answer: Nordic
