Finland

Depends on what you're after. Their winters can be pretty fierce, so if you don't like it cold you should stay away that time. Then maybe it's the whole frost-bitten experience that you're after? Summers are nice, particularly in the north where sun doesn't quite set even at midnight. OTOH summers also brings mosquitoes...

Finns play a lot of hockey and soccer. But they also have basketball, alpine skiing, biathlon, discus throw, car sports, cheerleading, curling, bowling... but Finns also have their own old woman's carrying (yeah I know), throwing a telephone and throwing a rubber boot!

Finns play baseball somewhere, but they also play another game nearly like baseball. It's in English "Finnish baseball" or baseball, even if baseball and the game aren't the same, not even nearly. It's called pesäpallo, straightly translated in English it's "nest ball".

They're located on the Scandinavian Peninsula which is in Europe.

Well there is no natural direct translation, that I' aware of.

You could say "What's up?" or "How are you?" instead.

"How are you?" would be "Miten menee?" in Finnish.

It sounds a lot like rock-house. Short a, pronounce the k twice. Kau sounds like Coe.

"Merry Christmas" is called "hyvaa joulua" in Finnish because "hyvaa" means "good" and "joulua" sort of means "Christmas". More specifically the word "joulua" means Yule in English. The term Yule or Yule-tide comes from an old Germanic midwinter festival (involving a sacrificial feast), that has absorbed into Christmas. Originally the festival was celebrated between late December and early January on a date determinded by the lunar Germanic calendar, but the festival was later placed on the 25th of December when the Christian calendar was adopted. The term is still used in the Nordic Countries to refer to Christmas. As in Finland they use the same term in countries like Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Iceland. In Finland they say "hyvaa joulua" (as you know); in Norway nad Sweden they say "god jul"; in Denmark they say "glædelig jul"; and in Iceland they say "gledileg jol". The term meaning the same thing ("good Yule/Christmas") in all these languages.

In stores troughout the Finnland, or in Finnish net stores, Nettianttila.com, Discshop.fi and CDon.com. You can also get English texts if you need, but i bet you're really a Finnish.

You might find these a bit odd:

- We take our shoes of while entering classrooms, some offices ect...

- In some countries their busses stop anyways, but in Finland you need to wave for the driver to stop

- Prices here are not debateable.

- You are allowed to use the phone on the bus, but you may not YELL TO IT!

- While you are in a lift, you might not want to speak. I don't really understand it myself but some people shush you if you tend to speak...

- We rarely call your teachers/bosses by their last name. We tend to use the first one.

- When a Finn sees a friend (a good old friend or boss ect... wich they have not seen in some time) they shake hands and make eyecontact. Usually just say 'Moi' (=Hello).

- Smoking is allowed, but only in the accepted areas.

- We usually don't smoke inside our homes. Usually means usually, so there are some who smoke.

- And in sauna it's considered polite to ask before throwing more water on to the hot rocks. Some might not ask and you are allowed to leave at any point you like.

And one more: We don't complain about some mistakes. We should but we don't.

"Hyvää päivänjatkoa."
This can only be used if you are referring to the current day though.

If you want to say "Have a good day tomorrow." you would say "Vietä hyvä päivä huomenna." This doesn't sound very natural though. Finnish doesn't really have an idiom for this.

The first capital of Finland was Turku, then Helsinki.

Because their climates are humid Continental and subarctic , and the physical feature is 656 Ft (200 meters) high in elevation.

Lapland covers an area that spreads through Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia

Yes and no. As part of the British Commonwealth, Australia fought against Germany and Italy. Germany and Finland essentially aligned themselves to oppose a common foe-the Soviet Union. During the early stages of WWII, Britain actually gave aid to Finland in defense of attacks by the Soviet Union on Finnish territories. When Finland aligned with Germany, Britain declared war on Finland. Thus, the two become enemies by default. However, they never actually had combat with each other.

Finland has been tied with Norway over being the second least corrupted country in the world, first is Iceland. This is both politically and with crime rates. The greatest problem there probably is in Finland is Alcoholism and the violence or other crimes connected with it, Finland also has the second highest suicide rate in the world (Males) and fourth most (Females) according to OECD 2002.

Finland does not have a king or queen. It has a president. Currently (February 2014) that is President Sauli Niinistö.

For example Nokia, M-real, Neste Oil, Patria, Wärtsilä, UPM-Kymmene, F-Secure.

It all depends on where you are in the state. But for the most part they are pretty similar.
