I wouldn't fuck with Anders if I were you, guy's been in the Bahamas.
Oh God here goes.
Oh God here goes.
Well firstly they say that the actual 'place of Finland' is just
Eastern Sweden. Helsinki is in Eastern Sweden and when people fly there
it's not like they would notice.
World maps are altered as it's a U.N conspiracy to keep people
believing in Finland. And the idea that an entire country is made up
seems so bizarre that nobody would ever believe it, making it easy to
do.
Finland's main company, Nokia, is apparently owned by the Japanese and they're a main player in this.
Now as for 'why' people would want to invent Finland as a country
that's a bit more in depth and there's a few reasons as to why Sweden
and Russia go along with it but it's mostly to do with Japanese fishing
rights.
You see the Japanese love their sushi but tight fishing regulations
and public outcry mean they can't fish as much as they want. So after
the Cold War they agreed with Russia to create a 'landmass' called
Finland where they could fish. After all, if people thought there was a
country there nobody would expect the Japanese to be harpooning whales
would they?
The fish is then transported through Russia where a small percentage
of the food is given to the population, (they were of course starving at
the time of Finland being invented), and then is shipped to Japan under
the disguise of 'Nokia' products. Japan is apparently one of the worlds
largest importers of Nokia products despite the fact that 'nobody there
owns a Nokia phone' apparently.
The crux of all this however, and my favourite part, is the homage that the Japanese gave to this entire conspiracy theory.
What do fish have? Fins. Therefore they named their imaginary country Finland.
There are loads more that they go on about but I can't remember it all at the moment.
