Just looked at a map. Finland is bigger than I thought.

130k square miles, though I’m guessing the bulk of it is uninhabitable arctic territory full of European yetis or something
Replying to
About the same size as Rajasthan, but 1/12 the population (68 vs 5.5 m), though Rajasthan is not quite so uninhabitable (70% Thar desert, which I’d guess is similar to arctic fraction of Finland, but habitable part is more hospitable)

Gotta write off Russian threats as pure posturing…

Looks like 30% of Finland is arctic
Apparently Santa Claus is Finnish, not Norwegian like I thought 🧐

And yes I’m aware of projection distortion thank you
130k sq mi is still a lot

Finland and Scandinavian countries are a lot smaller than the Mercator map depicts.
