Best Metal In The World lives in Finland!
"Voi vittu" means "Hello"
"Heista paska" means "Goodbye"
Do you know any Finnish vocabulary?
And, I could spam alot Vocabulary. But don't have time to do so...
But I have to question whether you made this thread without personal bias and complete honesty in mind.A thread like this looks to be unbiased, but how could someone post a negative response without receiving a barrage of scorn?
I could post an identical thread about any nation and would know that if someone were to say something negative, it would be singled out and that would then become the focus. The only reason I say this is because I am semi-expecting someone to be negative as a point of being a "devil's advocate", and of course, receive a lot of abuse for it.
We love our nations. They mean a lot to us. But this don't always mean a lot to everyone else and to some, our pride may seem to be misplaced, being that great things happen all over the world and great people are born everywhere. Countries themselves aren't good, bad or ugly, just the people and the situations in them.

Question was about WHAT do you KNOW about finland, not something like "Do you like...".
I was just curious about what rest of the world knows about my country since i work my ass off at school and stuff to pass exams and stuff which requires knoweledge of other countries.
Also, nmG:
"Voit vittu" means "Oh fuck"
"HAista paska" means "Smell shit"
(and its Haista, not heista ;))
Finland as "rock country" suprised me thou, I think our music pretty much sucks
I'm from Portugal, but I love Sweden though. Basshunter rox! (That's off-topic, I know...)

Finland has an embassy in Tallinn and an honorary consulate in Tartu. Estonia has an embassy in Helsinki and five honorary consulates in Oulu, Turku, Ekenäs, Tampere and Kotka. Both countries are full members of the Council of the Baltic Sea States and of the European Union.
Finland's main language, Finnish, is related to Estonian, and there is and has been a certain feeling of kinship.
76% of Finns have visited Estonia and in 2004, 1.8 million Finns reported visiting Estonia.
Finnish and Swedish investors are the largest foreign investors in Estonia.
Both Finland and Estonia are members of the European Union and the Schengen agreement, freeing international travel and trade between the countries.
Finland's government recognized Estonia's independence in 1920. In response to the Soviet invasion, diplomatic missions were de facto removed. However, when Estonia restored her independence, this "temporary obstruction" was resolved.
Finland contributed and continues to contribute military aid to Estonia; e.g. training of officers, provision of equipment.
