Sweden's not number one so it can't be that.

Let's not pretend that Finland isn't completely dependent on Sweden for history, identity and cultural heritage. You know this in your hearts, if not intellectually. Take Sweden out of Finland, and you're left with what, exactly? What Finnish cities are there not built and/or founded by industrious, high minded Swedes? What monuments have you got that do not celebrate Swedish glory? What stories can you tell, that do not involve your Swedish betters? What art is there? Peel the Swede away, and you're left with, at best, a few soggy Karelian mud huts, a made up language and rampant Finnish heritage disease.

You will always have a special place in our hearts (first among the lower races to be uplifted and enlightened by us, as you were) and our love is, have been, and will remain unconditional. Is it really too much to ask, that you give credit where it is due? Can you not find this in your shrunken, black bog-hearts?

Nothing would make us more proud! Just imagine: the Finn, having finally left the nest, leathery bog-wings spread, soaring, on his own - what a sight!

I'd be down with an alt-history where finns remain an uncontacted people, like certain tribes deep in the amazonian jungle that have been 100% insular for tens of thousands of years.

The world would be better off not having experienced finnish culture and finnish culture would be better off w/o foreign ideas of sunshine, happiness, etc setting unattainable goals for the bogman.

there is no finland, really. there's west-sweden and east-sweden. you're right that the whole finnish culture, religion and society were formed when we were a part of sweden. like apes and humans are descended from a common ancestor so are modern sweden and finland. but, living under the russians for a 100 years and a 100 years of independence has changed us so much that we're not really that similar anymore.

Swedes should look into hiring some consultants from Finland, this is how you integrate asylum seekers with minimal cultural conflict.
