Much like Queen Elizabeth, Finland is permanently cold, moist, dull, and filthy rich.

In the parliamentary elections held in 2007, the Swedish People's party got more votes than the True Finns party, which means Finland has more Swedes than honest Finns. The horror!

In terms of Eurovision, Finland has scored some of the lowest scores in contest history, yet made a spectacular landslide win in 2006 with Lordi.
