      Nah the nobel peace prize is from a norwegian committee. The others are indeed swedish

      Edit: It’s still stupid because it’s not the norwegian government that awards the prize

          Nah, you’re not dumb, you just didn’t know!

          Here’s some history for you: When the Nobel Prize was created, Norway was in a union with Sweden. Seeing as Norway didn’t have any direct diplomatic relations, they were chosen to handle the diplomatically sensitive Peace Prize while the Swedes handled the rest.
