Just completed #74 & leaned a lot about Finland that I never knew - they just joined NATO less than 1 year ago. USSR tried to take over Fi land, but the country retained its independence by giving up 5% of their land. 1st woman president elected in 2000.
And my favorite bit of trivia: Finland has been often called the "Promised Land of Heavy Metal" because there are more than 50 metal Bands for every 100,000 inhabitants – more than any other nation in the world!!!
Ha Ha. the Fins, have a lot of tough rugged people. there's some funny videos of the Fins hockey team training by running full speed into the ice rink machine.
