Practically everyone here speaks English (though some older folks may speak with a really funny accent), so language is not a problem, at least if you live in one of the major cities. :) You can live in Helsinki for years and never need Finnish. There are plenty of British expats living here, Scots love Finland especially for some reason.

Duque de Bragança

Finnish Reds were eliminated long ago.

No problem expected for life or work in certain sectors. Basically anywhere in the world you can get by with English, the nordics top of the list for that.

But the language would naturally be expected in a lot of areas. For instance my partner being in education is a bit of a sticking point to my yearning for the north.

How many Americans?

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

A few thousand I believe, so not a huge population. On the other hand, Finland has a local Democrats Abroad country committee. ;)

Well, at least according to some Finns Party politicians, they are Arab-looking. :D

You would think that, yet our right-wingers in the opposition would disagree...

How is the Finns Party doing btw?

The Finns Party clearly does not believe in Finland First.

Dude, the one on the right ain't really a chick.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.
