Im 100% finnish but i live in sweden and almost all finns ive talked to revere their homeland like mad. But deep inside we all know its a frozen hellwaste straight out of a lovely post-apoc movie. National sports include axe throwing (kirveenheitto), boot throwing (saapasheitto) and carrying your wife on your shoulders in a race to win her weight in beer (ämmänkanto). Sauna and beer is legit though

Fun fact: several of Finlands many lakes are named something nasty like Dicklake or Cuntstream. According to folktales this was because of Stalin sending in cartographers into Finland to survey the countryside so he could divvy it up after he was done conquering it during the Winter War. These cartographers then asked people what the many lakes were called. People hade never needed names for the hundreds of tiny lakes and bogs that littered the country and this, in combination with anger over how Stalin was already dividing the country as If he hade won, led to people trolling the poo poo out of the mapmakers. Many places are still named after this event.
