Very cold, the people are drunk and violent that stab each other a lot. A stereotype is all I have.
You guys like car racing.
It's not even considered slightly wierd for 10 fully naked drunk men in a 2x2m sauna to whip each other with branches of birch. When they're done they go outside in the snow(still naked)and bring out their knives and start fighting. Most of the time it's all good and they all end up alright.
I went to Finland on a school trip about 9 years ago. All that comes to mind is Nokia, rubber boots and how cold it was. Also, your capital is Helsinki. For some reason, almost every Dane I know will say, "yksi, kaksi, kolme" when asked if they speak Finnish.
That's about it.
They have DREAM Paragon, great hockey players, and South Park nuked them.
Finnish partisans were responsible for the naming of Molotov Cocktails, not the Soviets as I had always thought. They were staunchly anti-Communist and had several nasty fights with the Reds. They helped Tsarist loyalists, as 'Whites' in the Russian Civil War. They don't seem to be considered as Scandinavian as the rest of the Nordic countries.
Paragon are a Finnish guild, usually doing world first stuff. Otherwise, really nice country...
We're a gloomy bunch of people.
The Population of Finland is less than the population of NYC

Well Finnish is a Uralic language, like Estonian, not a Nordic language. I don't know if this is true in Finnish also, but in Estonian, the way you say "The 12th month" sounds like English "cocks taste good."
Oh yeah, forgot to mention, every Finn I met while in Estonia was unintelligibly drunk.

'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
And there they lay I damn me eyes
All lookouts clapped on Paradise
All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Finland fucked up the Soviets during WW2.

One of my friends from WoW was actually finnish so I know a couple of things.
They really destroyed the soviets in a war, a lot of people own saunas and thats a regular activity they do, national service is in place (something I found very interesting).
Oh and Lusikka means spoon in finnish I believe.
You know, for a kitten that shits rainbows, you seem to like to stay inside the box.
Ok few things:
1. Very cold and you have Santa living somwhere there.
2. People are very introverted, not that open to share their emotions.
3. Something about your faces, you all look-alike, like you don't breed with outsiders (which honestly I don't think it's a good thing).
I know that Finland are great at hockey, held off a Russian invasion several times in the Winter War(s), have an extremely high standard of education, drink a lot, and that they have an extreme political party called something like the "true-finns" xd
As a Finn it's so fun to read this thread! Tell us more! : D
