@Raita Given how attached you are to your fictional constructs, maybe we should make it a second-language here in the BBS.

Dammit, I was hoping Enochian could be our second language.

So, the Finns back home somehow have learned how to control the minds of ordinary citizens

The smart ones wear the least
 I see a lot of them jumping in with sweatpants/etc – would rather have bare skin that can be dried quickly than a 20 kg ice pack enclosing my entire body.

Ladies and dudes, Finland exists and they seem to like Rockabilly there. Apparently there were quite violent clashes between rockabilly kids and punks back in the day
 And some rockabilly kids will not give up their rebel flags, no matter how racist it is. This brought to you by a cool musicologist (with a Pompadour and boots) named Nate, who is writing a dissertation on the subject. And a fucking dissertation is definitive for ALL TIMES!!!

I think we can safely end the debate now!

Fictional country that has a fake dog sled made by somebody who goes by the name Jibjork?

You’re right, I don’t think that somebody could make up a place like Finland – it must be real.

EhkĂ€ it already is and you just haven’t realized it vielĂ€. EhkĂ€ you can already ymmĂ€rtÀÀ Finnish just fine.

You think a country that invents Nokia, Angry Birds AND the sĂ€hköpotkukelkka could be fictional? We’re talking about the history’s greatest inventions, here.

But guys, really. If someone wanted to invent the perfect fictional country, would they make all their most famous food look like poop? You’ve got your diarrhea and bloody, partly-undigested poop, something for everyone!

I would argue that Hungary’s Unicum is far superior, but it has both a name and color problem.

If you feel like laughing at the name, you’re the reason I can’t get the d**n stuff anymore!.

I have what little remains of a large bottle of Lapponia Lakka.
OTOH, I actually enjoy Vana Tallinn, so my tastes in alcohol are suspect.

It is my understanding that there are basically six Nordic jokes. The Danes tell them about Norwegians and Swedes so the Norwegians and Swedes tell them about Finns. Then the Finns tell them about Estonians, and the Estonians, well they tell them about Estonians too.

A false premise ("Finland " exists, and has inhabitants) yields any conclusion.
