Indeed, unless you count our alcohol politics etc. though they are strict in every nordic country. Though personally I'm rather happy to live here in Finland and certainly don't see USA as a liberal country, even though it might differ what state one is referring into. Rather regulated economically and heavily taxed than regulated morally with a large percentage of the population living in poverty.
By the way - about Scandinavian countries - non-scandinavians often see Finland and Iceland as a part of Scandinavia as the term is somewhat more liberal outside the nordic countries.
