The 'God, Please Norway' meme typically portrays a soul or a baby-to-be pleading with a divine entity to be born in Norway, a nation famously cited for its high happiness index and standard of living. It functions as a commentary on the 'birth lottery,' highlighting the massive disparity in life outcomes based purely on geographic location. While the original variations often featured a simple cartoon character, the meme has evolved to include various reaction faces and maps. It is most commonly used by internet users to express dissatisfaction with their own country’s conditions or to satirize the idealized perception of Nordic countries compared to the reality of being born elsewhere.
