The four Nordic countries (Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland) have a combined population of 25M, which is about the same as Texas.

Throw in the fifth Nordic country (Iceland), which is about the same as St. Louis city, including zipjet :)

Some key points:

1. Slide 8 - 115,000 chronic HCV patients in the Nordics; 3,000 receive treatment per year.
2. Slide 16 - Analysts estimate peak sales of TMC435 as $2-$4B dollars
3. Slide 18 - They also have an NS5A program at LO stage (assume that's lead optimization) along with other nukes
4. Slide 20 - TMC435 patent life extends to 2026 and 2028
