Finland.

Why is all the Merkel hate? Germany is almost the only Euro country which has had a sensible leadership, thinking long-term, and they get portrayed as some sort of smartass nerds who don't know how to live.

Holland. "Maastrichtly speaking, you are fairly safe, though budgeting to you might be double Dutch. Euro-zone stalwart"

Center-square as Finland. Probably the fact that I have a monstrous mortgage caused that. The quiz did not take into account that it is taken on my second flat only, though.

A hard, grey, silica-based rock.

Skint, however, means brassic, or lacking moolah. Check the Britishisms thread  :contract:
