i wonder what the ideal balance/ratio is. yeah, you could enter with your 80 pound Asian wife, but the prize is pathetic. but, obviously, there's no hope of winning with a massive elephant of a wife. what is the "sweet spot" of decent prize money but also not having a cow for a wife?

Depends on how much a given person knee's can handle. You get a nice 6'6 Fin (as in the video etalian linked) and maybe get away with a 130/120 pound wife.

Finland issues all new mothers a, "maternity box," containing snow suits, a sleeping bag, mittens, hat, condoms (never too early), a towel, various bits of clothing and some other odds and ends in addition to the box itself being usable as a kind of crib/baby storage.

I like the American way where they roll you to the front of the hospital and then dump you out with your baby onto the street before closing the door behind them.

Not only is this free from the government, but to qualify for it you have to visit the doctor for a checkup, thus causing Finland to have the lowest infant mortality rate in the world.

Another thing that owns about finland is they levy income based fines for things like speeding: http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2015/03/finland-home-of-the-103000-speeding-ticket/387484/ One millionaire rear end in a top hat got fined 103k for speeding
