According to Wikipedia the shared Swedish/Danish postal service is shared 60%/40% by the Swedish and Danish governments respectively, so im not sure how privatised it is really if it's completely owned by government.

"The owners of PostNord Group are the state of Sweden (60 percent) and the Ministry of Transport of Denmark (40 percent)." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostNord

Fair enough, I was extrapolating from Finland who privatized their post and handed it over to Nord Post.
