That sounds like a great place to live, if you don't mind freezing your ass off most of the year!
Seriously though, Finland is the size of Montana with only 5 million and some change people. I would think any country that size should be doing pretty well simply due to logistics. Vast countries like the US, Russia, Canada- they have to spend a lot of money just on infrastructure and shit. I just think a smaller scale country can probably accomplish things a little easier and quicker.
But obviously they all don't so I'm not saying this to detract from their props. The Finnish know how to carry out a plan and make things work. That's completely awesome and I wish the US would start acting that way!
I always say I'm moving to New Zealand if Bush gets re-elected here... maybe I'll have to look into moving to Finland instead!
