We have four seasons in Finland, mostly winter and the summer is also quite winterish. Today, because of the global warming Finland's summer temperatures may even rise to 15 degrees (and that's hot!). Even though Finland's outside temperatures are low, the inside ones are sky high and that's all thanks to the sauna. In winter the difference between inside and outside temperatures can be around 90 degrees.

Did you know that Father Christmas lives in Finland!? Indeed he does. He has a huge drug den inside Korvatunturi, Lapland. What does he need drugs for? Well, the answer is simple: he needs more workforce than his foolish little midgets (AKA elves), so he pumps them up with steroids to increase their working efficiency. That's why he is able to deliver so much presents to people. By the way, Santa has the monopoly over everything ever produced and he's Finland's unofficial dictator too ;D.

Because of Finland's low population we haven't achieved much glory in sports with one exception: Motorsports! When Mika Häkkinen ruled the F1 race tracks Finnish people used to beat eachother up every time Häkkinen won or lost a race, those sure were hard times. When he retired in 2001 we didn't have a reason to beat anyone up for 2 years until Kimi Räikkönen won the Malaysia GP in 2003. During Kimi's era we have only been beating ourselves up thanks to our new skill of directing aggression but when he won the world championship title in 2007 we couldn't help ourselves...

Finland has the second most extraordinary nature in the world (Chernobyl has the first place). We have many species which are almost extinct and they live only in Finland like moomins (hippopotamus erectus), north pole penguins (pygoscelis arktis), Finnish people (homo sapiens suomi), non-corrupt politicians (politico povertà), hattifatteners (verme panina) and reanimated corpses (homo sapiens rediffusion). Because of Finland's extreme conservation only 0.1% of the animals are mutated (yep, corpses won't walk without radiation) and that's the lowest amount in the world. Chernobyl dominates this catogory too (100%). As a final lightening I'd like to tell you that Finland's number one way of doing a suicide is to drown yourself in a fell stream.

I'd like to correct these info anyway (because I do NOT want to start any rumors etc.) There indeed are four seasons in Finland and they differ a lot. Finland's real temperature records are 35,9 (in summer 1914) and -51,5 (in winter 1999) and we have saunas but we don't live in them.
To ruin your fun, there is no 'real' Santa Claus nor there are elves - sorry ;(.
We don't beat eachother up when Räikkönen races and Finland has achieved MUCH glory in sports in the past (not so MUCH today).
In "Finnish nature" almost everything is total nonsense except that there really are no polar bears in Finland and the Chernobyl's nuclear disaster has really caused some mutations (only some).

Finland's national movie is called Ihmemaa Oulu (The Wizard of Oulu).
It was filmed during The Continuation War.
