Sweden. In Sweden there is 221.800 islands that are bigger then 25 square meters. According to the statistic central agency of Sweden.

It may also be Canada. Having a coastline nearly four times longer then any other country and thousands of bays, there are thousands upon thousands of islands that are not accounted for. there are also millions of lakes, many of which have islands themselves.

For example, just ONE bay inside ONE lake in Ontario has an Archipelago of 30,000 islands.

Well it's very relative really. Maybe people from "other" countries are outspoken, and Finnish people are just normal? Well kidding aside, Finnish people are very literal about everything they do or say and they value self-control and personal space. Therefore it's normal for them to be reserved. To put it short, it's a cultural thing.

Answer: "Tule kotiin."

Estonia

finland is the only place in whole word where you can see and feel winter, summer, autumn and spring in one week!

Helsinki, Finland, is located on the Gulf of Finland, which is an arm of the Baltic Sea.

The Baltic Sea is bordered by the islands of Denmark, the Scandinavian Peninsula and the northwestern European mainland.

Depends on what place on Finland you are on.

Beluga whales can often be seen in Finnish waters.

mainly in Finland and Sweden. In Norway there's also a minority speaking the Kven language which is related to finnish. Small group speaking finnish also in Russia.

In Estonia there's the biggest minority speaking finnish.

The north of Finland is above the Arctic Circle so the sun doesn't set there for a period in the summer. In the south of Finland, the sun will set but is barely goes below the horizon, meaning that it never gets truly dark.

Finland is a country with a high standard of living and a rich European culture. It has two official languages, so in some areas (particulary the Ålands) you can live with Swedish, if learning Finnish is too difficult for you. Besides, many people understand English. There are many Russian immigrants in Finland. For them it is a stable, prosperous country, whose people have similar mentality, but not the same drawbacks, perhaps except drinking.

Approximately 1 000 000 men in the Winter War part of WW2 and 200 000 in the Continuation War part.

Hope i've been at your help, ENJOY.

I am currently wearing a t-shirt and jeans. Pretty normal western clothes, except we usually wear clothes that are more practical than fashionable, because the weather in general is awful and the cold, dark winter usually lasts for 5-6 months per year and it's surrounded by spring, summer and fall where it rains a lot. Not much room for fashion there.

Yes, the Finnish Spitz sheds heavily seasonally, so they are not recommended for those allergic to dogs.

Most blame it on the Winter weather which was a genuine factor. Many cite the distance of the supply column and the number of troops required to protect it that might have made a difference at Borodino. Some insist that the serfs and the cossacks deserve all of the credit for the Army's defeat during the retreat. Napoleon's quote that an Army travels on its stomach certainly deserves some consideration. The Russian Scorched earth policy defeated Napoleon in many ways. It wasn't simply the lack of food for the troops, it was also the lack of hay and grain for the horses. When the horses could no longer pull the cannons and supply wagons they provided some food for the troops. When the horses were gone the artillery and the cavalry were gone and that meant that the Army was defenseless. Thousands of military wagons were abandoned on the march home. French losses included 300,000 French men, 200,000 horses and 1,000 artillery weapons. Among their allies were 72,000 Poles lost, 80,000 Germans lost, 50,000 Italians lost and about 60,000 others.

It varies between age groups. Normally, when kids start school at seven years old, the days are 3-4 hours long and rarely longer than 5. The days get gradually longer until the middle school.

At 13 years old the pupils get to middle school and the days are normally 6-7 hours long, and at most 8. There can be shorter days, though, even 3 hour ones, because of how the schedule is arranged.

In secondary education, the day length stays roughly the same, 7-8 hours. It depends a bit on which type of schooling the pupil chose when they were 15: vocational or academic.

No its all rumors they had financial problems so they acctually produced and bought alot of Donald duck comic books.
