Are you SURE Mongolia isn't in Eastern Europe?

Should at least be honorary, given the status of Finland.

The street the Russian embassy in Finland sits on is called Factory Street (Tehtaankatu). There have been proposals to change it to Zelensky Street or, less seriously, Trollfactory Street.

There has also been this time Iran trolled the UK: https://www.bobbysandstrust.com/the-night-we-named-bobby-sands-street/

They changed the street the UK embassy is on to Bobby Sands Street, after an IRA member who died in prison. The embassy cut a hole in a wall to make a new door so that their adress would not be on Bobby Sands Street.

Just name it Ikiriidantie, it'll always be correct.

Yes, Finnish media for instance mainly uses the Belarusian spelling Alyaksandr Lukashenka.

Lukashenko is often used too, because it means 'should I read?' in Finnish and in this country puns are the only form of humour.

That's not true, we also have dying of alcoholism.

Do Latvians also have to chose names for their children from a set list approved by such institution or is that strictly a Hungarian thing?

Finland stopped doing that in 2019.

In what sense? You still can't change your legal name to endlessmonotony or name your offspring as endlessmonotony Jr. Sorry.

Even Nenonen is unacceptable as a given name. Neno would probably pass.

Yeah but they got rid of the name list, I just legally named myself something previously unacceptable because it's foreign.

Yes, I still can't be Yksitoikkoinen Nen�m�ki, which is a problem, but I'll live with it.

Wrong pipe, the one through you opens up later this year I think. Uniting us all in semicircle of natural gas and alcohol problems

We don't really need it, we have alcohol.

But obviously we'd rather avoid burning it.
