They were ynited until '05 apparently: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissolution_of_the_union_between_Norway_and_Sweden

I get that it's more of a nostalgic dream than a hard-headed practical policy. But if I did a poll would it be a popular opinion there?

I don't know specifically about nostalgia, but whenever it gets polled, Support for a Scandinavian federation is fairly high, I think consistently higher than support for joining the EU in Norway.

It doesn't get polled that often, since no government is interested in such a proposal,
