130k square miles, though I’m guessing the bulk of it is uninhabitable arctic territory full of European yetis or something

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)

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

Actually Greek; 4th century Christian bishop of Myra (today Demre, Turkey). But as a Norwegian - of course he’s Norwegian. Don’t listen to the Finns. They’re not even Scandinavian. 😉

BTW, also Arctic (Finnmark, Norway - more northern than Finnland). Far north of the Arctic Circle, but with subarctic climate. Photo credits: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnmark
