In defence, Finland has 230 000 war time reseve, with those 24 000 active, and also almost 900 000 men in peace time reserve. That makes more than 1 mil of men with arms.
Yeah, that was weird comparison. According to wikipedia Sweden has a war time reserve of 64 000 person, and a peace time reserve of 32 900. The combined military personnel of Sweden wouldn't even be half of the Finnish wartime reserve, let alone peace time reserves.
Sweden have never counted those who done military training. More or less all men over 45 years have done military training. They who is younger then that around 12/25k every year after that untill they did take away obligation to do military training. And all Swedish between 16/70 years old need to go to war if need ..,. So if not one off the highest rankt in Sweden military. You dont have a clue
I'm a Finnish person, and I'm pretty happy. I think the point of it is, not expecting too much. Just be happy with what you get. Don't expect anything better! ;) Kind of a Stoic approach.
as a swede, i never could think in a anti-finland scenario. finland is so close both culturally and politicaly, we are one. if finland and sweden where to merge i whuld be so happy
That military thing is just total BS. We have 900 000 men in reserve so that 23 000 just makes me angry. There are 23 000 men being paid to serve in the military.
The happiness index doesn't measure the feeling of happiness. It measures things like safety, stability, opportunity and so on... there's a video about it on the tubes.
On the question of monarchy, I really think more people should take into consideration what our beloved Stephen Fry once said. He said that (specifically in GB): "having a higher absolut regent, that the prime minister must visit every end of the week, explaining his actions and work, humbles and forces politicians to think another round before making rash decisions, because they know they are servants of the nation/queen/king - not the untouchable rulers". Not exact word for word, but I think he had a good point.
Hasn't humbled the British politicians much, now has it? They got used to knowing that the Queen would never say anything that hadn't been approved by government, so why worry? There was a time when Charlie looked like he might turn into a bit of a loose cannon, but seems to have calmed down now that he actually has the job. If it can be called that.
We trust police, teachers, goverment, army and neigbours - so it’s easy be happy. We use our taxes quite well for education and so on. We have not so many rich or poor people here in Finland - we have peace!

What does per capita mean in? Per capita is a Latin phrase literally meaning "by heads" or "for each head", and idiomatically used to mean "per person". The term is used in a wide variety of social sciences and statistical research contexts, including government statistics, economic indicators, and built environment studies.
I believe "cars" imported and exported include trucks, dumpers, and excavators from Volvo and Scania, which are huge exports from Sweden. I might be wrong though.
Turning Torso is not the tallest building in Sweden, that title has been overtaken by Karlatornet in Gothenburg, Sweden it is 247 meters high, with 74 floors above ground.
Same with the Majakka ( it literally means light house), it's not the tallest building, when ever the video has been made. Tallest building before 2024 was Näsinneula 168 meters ( it's a restaurant/ viewing platform in Särkänniemi amusement park). The tallest building in 2024 is a newly built chapel tower in Kirkkonummi and it is 185 meters tall.
10:57 That is not picture of Suomenlinna (Sveaborg) in Helsinki but Olavinlinna in Savonlinna (Eastern Finland). Suomenlinna has no towers but bastions.
The median age is because we aren't reproducing here in Finland. It's nice how you put a positive twist into it by saying it's because of air quality and such, but in reality the air quality is probably not much different (even though I believe we were deemed as having the best air in the world in Finland). Birth rates are alarmingly low in both countries, but Sweden has many more immigrants and they tend to reproduce more than the natives. Also about the Olympic medals, if I remember correctly Finland has the most medals per capita in the world.
I would say the main reason why top export product in Sweden is cars is because of electrical vehicles and that Norway for a long time has bought electric cars from Sweden because they are subsidized by the Swedish government. So a Swedish car company buy 10 Tesla cars, gets the subsidence and therefore pays less for them and then exports them to Norway and sell them a bit cheaper but still earns money. (Its possible that the rules have changed now, because this was not what the Swedish government intended when they subsidized electric cars.)

@@polytaur The video is very wrong, Sweden's GDP per capita in 2024 is 61,000 USD. In the year 2022 when the video was posted, Sweden had a GDP per capita of 55,000 USD.
These clips usually have quickly googled information. This video has multiple missleading facts. I wouldn't say Suomenlinna is the landmark number one but that castle in picture is actually Olavinlinna. Hockey is number one in both countries.
27:00 I wonder if I'm an internet user or not in this data. I don't have any wired internet at home or even a router or mobile hotspot, but I have few mobile connections so that all of my devices have an own dedicated connection that works anywhere.
11:23 is technically wrong, probably since the video is from 1 year ago, the tallest building in Sweden is Karlatornet, in Gothenburg, they are still finishing the inside but the outside and lower floors are done. So you could classify it "under construction" but wikipedia pages about tallest buildings do not classify it as Under construction, it is said to be fully done some time in spring. Its 246m tall compared to the Turning Torso which is 190m, for a quick comparison. Swedens new tallest building is Karlatornet with 246m and Finlands tallest building is Majakka with 134m. Turning Torso was already the tallest building in the Nordics but Karlatornet made it even harder for the other Nordics to beat it. Its also the 27th tallest in Europe. Karlatornet's design was made by the same people who made the One World Trade Center.
8:43 Did they forget to write something in the AREA-area? Also, they had to write that "Puolustusvoimat" was Finnish? If it was not that, what would it have been? It is a bit strange that it is Swedish Armed Forces and Finnish Defence Forces. When I looked up "Puolustusvoimat" you could read Försvarsmakten on Swedish speaking Finnish Defence Forces webpages. Försvar = Defence.
Finnish Wärtsilä Maritime diesel engines moves the worlds biggest container ships, its also the worlds largest diesel engine, its a size of a house. Its a moose, not an elk
And the Finnish Sniper Simo Häyhä. Sweden is larger, but did deconstruct their defences after the cold war ended. While Finland did continue to construct theirs during the same time. Finns are not as naive as swedes.
Government expenses are already high in Finland, definitely don't need a royal family on top of that. Current refurbishment cost of presidents residence (Mäntyniemi) are estimated at 55 million euros.
We export Iron ore, Steel, machines, hightech ecuipement, wood, furniture, glas, crystal, inovations, it tech hardware and software, volvo, Koenigsegg, Husquarna equipment, paper and much much more :) and the top inported stuff that is not consumer products is trash :P
government debt / person = per capita. Per capita (italian) = "for each person; in relation to people taken individually." "relating or applied to each person. lower than average per capita spending"
It's highly debatable whether Football or Ice Hockey is Sweden's biggest sport. Both Sweden and Finland are ranked at above Top 5 in Ice Hockey in the world, at least in Collage/Junior Ice Hockey
Some of these things has to do with immigration, good and bad. Sweden has accepted more assylum seekers, so the demographics are changed by that, neither country produce enough children to fill up the gap, but by accepting in children and young couples who are keen to make babies, it makes the median age a bit lower. However by not having particularly good Swedish education for new Swedes, and a bit of racism, and stuffing most of them in the same areas, it's not strange that some of them turn to crime. Add to that PTSD, they may have watched when their mother and sister were raped.
Yes, and they may even have seen their family brutality KILLED! And other horrible stuff that wars get. 😢 It’s not hard to understand that probably all of the immigrants have PTSD!
@@miak8103 so much ptsd that they are mainly young men anchoring and dragging their family's from safe areas to live from welfare in sweden that they sends home for building houses in their home countrys. most immigrants are pure ATM immigrants even according to FN
Something to point out about the religion statistic(atleast in Sweden) is that that percentage of “Christianity” is the percentage of people who are registered to the church of Sweden not “active believers”, When polls have gone around about people’s personal beliefs it’s very clear that a huge chunk of those registered aren’t actually “believers”. Many non believing Swedes will register because they want to baptize their children or go through the confirmation process in their teens but what drives *many* to go through these processes is actually *tradition* rather than actual belief, and very few “bother” to “unsubscribe” from the church when they’re older since it’s such an afterthought.
About The Tallest Scyscraper. Atleast Sweden has a lot of regulations on height of buildings in the bigger cities! So those BIG skyscrapers are built outside the cities mostly, thus hard to justify bigger too. The rules are about keeping the City Skyline historical, and low as Stockholm has always been, no super ugly skyscrapers you can see for Miles upon miles away. A small detail about meatballs, The ikea ones are.. Authentic, but also like the cheapest least good version of it, like you can go to a resturant and get SO much better plate of Swedish meatballs and so on.
Neither of us are terribly flat. We just let our mountains be the tallest things around. (Although in 2019, the tallest point in Sweden switched because the tallest mountain peak is topped with perma frost and ice, but that's been melting. Little less perma, a lot less ice. Yikes.) Poor Denmark is pretty much a pancake in comparison. 😂
15:40 "That might be the highest in Europe" Czechia: 😳 Lol no clue about our non-religious %, but I've never met a religious person yet here, all churches we have are historical, it's kind of our stereotype 😅. I always saw Swedes as very religious so that was funny to me as well.
I'm a Brit living in Finland and a British organisation asked my for my signature recently. I tried to provide one and realized that a) it has changed and b) none of my attempts to sign were consistent with each other. REASON i haven't signed anything in years because we now authenticate everything electronically here in Finland using secure apps. Even my bank's computers don't have my password. They haven't issued cheque books to customers for more than 30 years. But the British organization is unable to accept my elecronic credentials 😢
Long time ago my signature was neat and easily readable. Then I worked in warehouse where I had to sign all the forms for incoming and outgoing materials. Not so clear anymore. In fact it might be messier than doctor's signature.
Im a swed the resaon for cars is because our car brands been bought and the only brand left is konisegg wich has the worlds fastest car and avrage swed doesnt have 20 mil usd to spend on cars
6:15 I don't know how Swedes calculate it, but I know Finnish numbers are skewed. If you are a long time unemployed in Finland you will have to go and work for free for six months in places that the city keeps and after a year you have to go there again and when you are there you are not officially unemployed, but get paid only six euros per day on top of the normal benefits. I call it slave labor and have never been forced to something like that. And If you say no, they will lower your benefits by 20% or 40%.

The top 10 happiest countries in 2023 were: Finland. Denmark. Iceland. Israel. Netherlands. Sweden. Norway. Switzerland. Luxembourg. New Zealand. "The six key variables the report quantifies are income (GDP per capita), social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom to make life choices, generosity, and freedom from corruption. And the most common question to measure people’s well-being is: "Overall, how satisfied are you with your life these days?" To answer, people rely on a scale of 0-10 (0= completely dissatisfied, 10= completely satisfied)."
You are so right on point on a bunch of stuff. Finns are not happy at all. We just accept what life gives us 😅. Nature gives a lot of happiness, even when you are poor. And you know that your children will be poor, you know that they will have nature nearby giving them strenght to fight for happyness. Money is shit. Family is everyrhing
Many of these stats are just incorrect. Finland does not produce raw oil, but does process and refine. Internet usage is 97.7% in FIN and 91.3% SWE, according to wikipedia - just two examples. Also Iceland as an ally? Not a military ally at least, Iceland has no military…
The per capita number for Sweden is wrong it's around 64,000. 660 billion divided by 10,2 million and for Finland 315 billion divided by 5,5 million around 57,000.
In Sweden we are pretty proud to have a royal family I’d say, but we don’t take them as “serious” u can say. More like just icons, we tend to joke about them a lot and they tend to play along with it pretty well. We just have it for tradition sake but everyone knows that they are taken with a grain of salt and we don’t care too much, even they know.
Nah, I'm old enough to remember that finland was a third world country in need of Swedens help. We helped them. And as we aren't selfish, we didn't make them dependants. I love Soumi.
Thats why its called a reaction video. If he only played the video clip what purpose would it have? He does a really good work with the reaction compared to some other RUclips channels who just watch a clip and don't say much at all.
A better way to estimate the percentage of non-religious people in Sweden is 80-85%, because people are automatically enrolled in the church when they are born. The 36% is the number of those who have completed the paperwork to leave the church.
This video is old… we have now more higher buildings in Helsinki. Sweden took a lot off immigrants earlier and this is why now there is really dangerous, gangs, etc and also populaation is that high.
did you know: sweden decided to remove the kings bloodline but had to get a new king so they walked up to one of napoleons generals and convinced him to be the king of sweden with hope that he would reunite sweden and finland who was owned by russia. he did not know swedish but his bloodline is still king today
We had a referendum on the Euro and the popular vote was to stay out of it. We now avoid joining the euro-collaboration on a technicality (because unlike UK and Denmark, we don't have a legal exception).
The term "happiness" is kind of incorrectly used in this instance, I think what they mean is really happiness as in being happy with your life, your living situation, feeling safe and so on, not happiness as in smiling all day long 😅
Stefan Perssons father (he is dead now ) founded H&M and stefan later became CEO(now Stefan's son Charl-johan is CEO). Stefan pays 1,7 billions swedish crowns(0,17 billion dollar) in taxes and he runs a foundation and they "accelerates solutions towards a socially inclusive and planet positive textile industry. We use philanthropic resources to fund vital research and breakthrough innovation, develop powerful partnerships and create inspiring storytelling that shifts narratives."
per capita means per person as Finland has less people even though GDP is less but people on average have more money "capita" = citizen. = One persons impact on GDP. It's average happiness, Finland doesn't have a lot of desperate people and has a lot of happy people. You can't go broke, you can't loose your home, you can't run out of money, (government saves you, becomes your parent, says what you do and gives you money while you're building your life up again) free healthcare, free education etc. Same reason why crime is low in Finland because almost nobody is broke so they don't steal.
The military top allies: Sweden & UK have a lot of Weapon development R&D together, some companies CO:Owned. Finland & Sweden was always eachothers closest allies prior to Nato, and most likely past Nato join too, even though technically Sweden having been Neutral for 200+ years, we still did have lots of military plans together with Finland for all sorts of situations, and did train together. But when it comes to R&D for military equipment, UK & Sweden are big time allies, if I remember Sweden was UK's biggest R&D companion when it comes to military equipment too, so goes both ways. A prime example of somethings thats used a lot in Ukraine: N-Law, it's a UK & Swedish made anti tank weapon system, aimed at competing with Javalin and such at better price point. I would argue Javalin is a better weapon compared 1 on 1, but you get like a 6 N-laws for 1 Javalin, the Javalin is too expensive for most armies around the world, including Europe. And it's too expensive for America to use as their primery infantry antitank weapon too, only deployed sparingly within their forces. Meanwhile the N-Law is ment to be the primery anti tank / IFV / Enemy combat viencles, weapon, while you still have other even cheaper options like AT4/Carlgustav to take out transport Viencles, Bumkers, buildings or what have you, where even the N-law will seem exessivly expensive. (both of those, AT4 & Carlgustav beeing swedish made and used by US & UK). Meanwhile Finlands biggest military R&D companion is Sweden, but France not far behind.
In both Finland and Sweden most people are written into a church, but most aren't actually that religious. I'd say most are so called "Cultural Christians" who celebrate for example Easter, Christmas etc. not because of their religious faith, but because it has become a tradition.
Finland was a part of Sweden for hundreds and hundreds of years, up until Russia took it in the early 1800s. That’s why the countries are very similar. The difference in median age, crime, unemployment etc are due to immigration. Sweden has MUCH higher numbers of immigrants.
I'd be skeptical about some of those facts. E.g. the boring minced meat sauce is way more popular everyday food in Finland than salmon soup is. Regardless of the context, French being one of Finland's top 5 allies seems strange too. Suomenlinna Fortress is a landmark and it might be the most visited travel destination, but thinking of the most famous landmark in Finland, I would imagine it's the Helsinki Cathedral. Funny thing about skyscrapers-or about Finland's skyline being "flat"-is how the Finnish elevator and escalator manufacturer Kone is the global industry leader, and manages to produce and test elevators in Finland for some of the world's highest buildings: "Inside The Lab That Tests Elevator Free-Falls". Regarding the internet, this one's pretty mind-boggling too: "Linux: The Origin Story". As is Finland as the happiest country: "Is Finland Really The Happiest Country In The World?" and "ISMO | Happy Place".
Yeah... I can't understand why would France be in top 5. Surely ether Estonia or Germany at least would be higher in that list. Also the military power one obviously only takes into consideration active duty personnel and completely forgets that Finland still has conscription unlike Sweden.
We don't know the source for the military alliances listing here, but, back in the day, there was a decent amount of French military equipment being used by the Finnish forces, so that might be the reason.
Steffan Persson has inherited that money tho. Also he might be richest individual. But Wallenbergs (family of generaional wealth) in Sweden have a fund that owns about half of the whole Sweish stock market. So yeah if you work hard and all that, but generational wealth is usually the case when it comes to bilioners. Also the way Wallenbergs got that money in the first pace is bit immoral (ww2 things). You should check the a documenary on how Wallnbergs got that wealth.
Yes, we eat moose. Dry meat with no fat in the muscles make it a little special to cook. Stefan Persson (with family) is the "owner" and former CEO of H&M.

It doesn't say much about spending power as it doesn't take account of costs, taxation etc.
But then Sweden would have a GDP per capita of 59 000 dollars, so the video is wrong about that...
@@polytaur The video is very wrong, Sweden's GDP per capita in 2024 is 61,000 USD. In the year 2022 when the video was posted, Sweden had a GDP per capita of 55,000 USD.
@@polytaurI think they maybe made a silly mistake of doing one nominal and the other PPP but might be wrong.
These clips usually have quickly googled information.
This video has multiple missleading facts.
I wouldn't say Suomenlinna is the landmark number one but that castle in picture is actually Olavinlinna.
Hockey is number one in both countries.
27:00 I wonder if I'm an internet user or not in this data. I don't have any wired internet at home or even a router or mobile hotspot, but I have few mobile connections so that all of my devices have an own dedicated connection that works anywhere.
11:23 is technically wrong, probably since the video is from 1 year ago, the tallest building in Sweden is Karlatornet, in Gothenburg, they are still finishing the inside but the outside and lower floors are done. So you could classify it "under construction" but wikipedia pages about tallest buildings do not classify it as Under construction, it is said to be fully done some time in spring. Its 246m tall compared to the Turning Torso which is 190m, for a quick comparison. Swedens new tallest building is Karlatornet with 246m and Finlands tallest building is Majakka with 134m. Turning Torso was already the tallest building in the Nordics but Karlatornet made it even harder for the other Nordics to beat it. Its also the 27th tallest in Europe. Karlatornet's design was made by the same people who made the One World Trade Center.
"Karlatornet" is 74 floors and have a view Floor for every one to go upp to at floor 69
8:43 Did they forget to write something in the AREA-area? Also, they had to write that "Puolustusvoimat" was Finnish? If it was not that, what would it have been? It is a bit strange that it is Swedish Armed Forces and Finnish Defence Forces. When I looked up "Puolustusvoimat" you could read Försvarsmakten on Swedish speaking Finnish Defence Forces webpages. Försvar = Defence.
Sweden has a place called glassiären which is a really popular ice cream place in my town, you should try it out! I love it ❤
If you look closely at the picture of the turning torso you see it's really turning.

And the Finnish Sniper Simo Häyhä. Sweden is larger, but did deconstruct their defences after the cold war ended. While Finland did continue to construct theirs during the same time. Finns are not as naive as swedes.
I disagree with that. There is a very simple explaination; sharing a giant border with Russia.
Government expenses are already high in Finland, definitely don't need a royal family on top of that. Current refurbishment cost of presidents residence (Mäntyniemi) are estimated at 55 million euros.

It's highly debatable whether Football or Ice Hockey is Sweden's biggest sport. Both Sweden and Finland are ranked at above Top 5 in Ice Hockey in the world, at least in Collage/Junior Ice Hockey
per capita is from latin and basically means per person.
You are correct.
Some of these things has to do with immigration, good and bad.
Sweden has accepted more assylum seekers, so the demographics are changed by that, neither country produce enough children to fill up the gap, but by accepting in children and young couples who are keen to make babies, it makes the median age a bit lower.
However by not having particularly good Swedish education for new Swedes, and a bit of racism, and stuffing most of them in the same areas, it's not strange that some of them turn to crime. Add to that PTSD, they may have watched when their mother and sister were raped.
Yes, and they may even have seen their family brutality KILLED! And other horrible stuff that wars get. 😢 It’s not hard to understand that probably all of the immigrants have PTSD!
@@miak8103 so much ptsd that they are mainly young men anchoring and dragging their family's from safe areas to live from welfare in sweden that they sends home for building houses in their home countrys. most immigrants are pure ATM immigrants even according to FN
Something to point out about the religion statistic(atleast in Sweden) is that that percentage of “Christianity” is the percentage of people who are registered to the church of Sweden not “active believers”,
When polls have gone around about people’s personal beliefs it’s very clear that a huge chunk of those registered aren’t actually “believers”.
Many non believing Swedes will register because they want to baptize their children or go through the confirmation process in their teens but what drives *many* to go through these processes is actually *tradition* rather than actual belief, and very few “bother” to “unsubscribe” from the church when they’re older since it’s such an afterthought.
Exactly the same in Finland.
About The Tallest Scyscraper.
Atleast Sweden has a lot of regulations on height of buildings in the bigger cities!
So those BIG skyscrapers are built outside the cities mostly, thus hard to justify bigger too.
The rules are about keeping the City Skyline historical, and low as Stockholm has always been, no super ugly skyscrapers you can see for Miles upon miles away.
A small detail about meatballs, The ikea ones are.. Authentic, but also like the cheapest least good version of it, like you can go to a resturant and get SO much better plate of Swedish meatballs and so on.
Neither of us are terribly flat. We just let our mountains be the tallest things around. (Although in 2019, the tallest point in Sweden switched because the tallest mountain peak is topped with perma frost and ice, but that's been melting. Little less perma, a lot less ice. Yikes.) Poor Denmark is pretty much a pancake in comparison. 😂
Median age doesn't say anything about life expectancy. It is about the distribution of people at different ages.
Unemployment is not that low anymore in Finland. Now it's 10,8 %.

Lol no clue about our non-religious %, but I've never met a religious person yet here, all churches we have are historical, it's kind of our stereotype 😅. I always saw Swedes as very religious so that was funny to me as well.

I'm a Brit living in Finland and a British organisation asked my for my signature recently. I tried to provide one and realized that a) it has changed and b) none of my attempts to sign were consistent with each other. REASON i haven't signed anything in years because we now authenticate everything electronically here in Finland using secure apps. Even my bank's computers don't have my password. They haven't issued cheque books to customers for more than 30 years. But the British organization is unable to accept my elecronic credentials 😢
Long time ago my signature was neat and easily readable. Then I worked in warehouse where I had to sign all the forms for incoming and outgoing materials. Not so clear anymore. In fact it might be messier than doctor's signature.

6:15 I don't know how Swedes calculate it, but I know Finnish numbers are skewed. If you are a long time unemployed in Finland you will have to go and work for free for six months in places that the city keeps and after a year you have to go there again and when you are there you are not officially unemployed, but get paid only six euros per day on top of the normal benefits. I call it slave labor and have never been forced to something like that. And If you say no, they will lower your benefits by 20% or 40%.
Finland and Sweden was al Sweden for a long time, with is one of the reasons we are so good friends
No. That certainly is not a reason for the state of the relationship.
That is the reason why Finns are resentful of Swedish.

"The six key variables the report quantifies are income (GDP per capita), social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom to make life choices, generosity, and freedom from corruption. And the most common question to measure people’s well-being is: "Overall, how satisfied are you with your life these days?" To answer, people rely on a scale of 0-10 (0= completely dissatisfied, 10= completely satisfied)."
You are so right on point on a bunch of stuff. Finns are not happy at all. We just accept what life gives us 😅. Nature gives a lot of happiness, even when you are poor. And you know that your children will be poor, you know that they will have nature nearby giving them strenght to fight for happyness. Money is shit. Family is everyrhing
But accepting what life gives you, i.e. being content with what you have...isn't that really the definition of happiness? Greetings 🇸🇪
Many of these stats are just incorrect. Finland does not produce raw oil, but does process and refine. Internet usage is 97.7% in FIN and 91.3% SWE, according to wikipedia - just two examples. Also Iceland as an ally? Not a military ally at least, Iceland has no military…
The per capita number for Sweden is wrong it's around 64,000. 660 billion divided by 10,2 million and for Finland 315 billion divided by 5,5 million around 57,000.
Happiness index, there are different measures they do. For myself, im not happy, but damn glad i live in Finland 😍

That is definitely not a picture of Suomenlinna. Looks more like Turun linna. The allies section is also highly sus.
Most likely Olavinlinna.
In Sweden we are pretty proud to have a royal family I’d say, but we don’t take them as “serious” u can say. More like just icons, we tend to joke about them a lot and they tend to play along with it pretty well. We just have it for tradition sake but everyone knows that they are taken with a grain of salt and we don’t care too much, even they know.
When a state gives up their currency, it also gives up their ability to influence the unemployment rate, interest rate, inflation, and such.
stefan Persson is 1 of 2 that started H&M.
Its much less religuis people in sweden its about 18% but every body was bapticed before and most are people moving to sweden😊
Nah, I'm old enough to remember that finland was a third world country in need of Swedens help. We helped them. And as we aren't selfish, we didn't make them dependants.
I love Soumi.
this man made a 30 minute video from a 6 minute one. HOW??
Thats why its called a reaction video. If he only played the video clip what purpose would it have? He does a really good work with the reaction compared to some other RUclips channels who just watch a clip and don't say much at all.
Who?
A better way to estimate the percentage of non-religious people in Sweden is 80-85%, because people are automatically enrolled in the church when they are born. The 36% is the number of those who have completed the paperwork to leave the church.
This video is old… we have now more higher buildings in Helsinki. Sweden took a lot off immigrants earlier and this is why now there is really dangerous, gangs, etc and also populaation is that high.
Good english yes
did you know:
sweden decided to remove the kings bloodline but had to get a new king so they walked up to one of napoleons generals and convinced him to be the king of sweden with hope that he would reunite sweden and finland who was owned by russia. he did not know swedish but his bloodline is still king today
Stefan Persson (the richest man in Sweden) is H&M's CEO.
I think Hockey is bigger i might be wrong but that has always been my impression.
We had a referendum on the Euro and the popular vote was to stay out of it. We now avoid joining the euro-collaboration on a technicality (because unlike UK and Denmark, we don't have a legal exception).
The term "happiness" is kind of incorrectly used in this instance, I think what they mean is really happiness as in being happy with your life, your living situation, feeling safe and so on, not happiness as in smiling all day long 😅
Stefan Perssons father (he is dead now ) founded H&M and stefan later became CEO(now Stefan's son Charl-johan is CEO). Stefan pays 1,7 billions swedish crowns(0,17 billion dollar) in taxes and he runs a foundation and they "accelerates solutions towards a socially inclusive and planet positive textile industry. We use philanthropic resources to fund vital research and breakthrough innovation, develop powerful partnerships and create inspiring storytelling that shifts narratives."
I am from Finland and I felt really sad when I heard that Elisabeth died. I don't know why but she really was the Queen.
per capita means per person as Finland has less people even though GDP is less but people on average have more money "capita" = citizen. = One persons impact on GDP.
It's average happiness, Finland doesn't have a lot of desperate people and has a lot of happy people. You can't go broke, you can't loose your home, you can't run out of money, (government saves you, becomes your parent, says what you do and gives you money while you're building your life up again) free healthcare, free education etc.
Same reason why crime is low in Finland because almost nobody is broke so they don't steal.
The military top allies:
Sweden & UK have a lot of Weapon development R&D together, some companies CO:Owned.
Finland & Sweden was always eachothers closest allies prior to Nato, and most likely past Nato join too, even though technically Sweden having been Neutral for 200+ years, we still did have lots of military plans together with Finland for all sorts of situations, and did train together.
But when it comes to R&D for military equipment, UK & Sweden are big time allies, if I remember Sweden was UK's biggest R&D companion when it comes to military equipment too, so goes both ways.
A prime example of somethings thats used a lot in Ukraine: N-Law, it's a UK & Swedish made anti tank weapon system, aimed at competing with Javalin and such at better price point.
I would argue Javalin is a better weapon compared 1 on 1, but you get like a 6 N-laws for 1 Javalin, the Javalin is too expensive for most armies around the world, including Europe.
And it's too expensive for America to use as their primery infantry antitank weapon too, only deployed sparingly within their forces.
Meanwhile the N-Law is ment to be the primery anti tank / IFV / Enemy combat viencles, weapon, while you still have other even cheaper options like AT4/Carlgustav to take out transport Viencles, Bumkers, buildings or what have you, where even the N-law will seem exessivly expensive. (both of those, AT4 & Carlgustav beeing swedish made and used by US & UK).
Meanwhile Finlands biggest military R&D companion is Sweden, but France not far behind.
In both Finland and Sweden most people are written into a church, but most aren't actually that religious. I'd say most are so called "Cultural Christians" who celebrate for example Easter, Christmas etc. not because of their religious faith, but because it has become a tradition.
How could you not be happy in Finland? "Fin" means "Nice" in Finnish and if you live in a nice country, you simply should be happy, right!? 😀
Sweden is basically a republic with a mascot, let's be honest 😅
7.8 is only C+ if turned into a letter grading.
Per capita means 10% people in Sweden and 10% people in Finland. So it means the prosentual, doesnt matter how many people are there.
I mean I am not surprised that UK isn't our top ally since they did declare war against us in 1941
Monarchy is crotch lottery. Right seed, right crotch. Flawless victory.
Ironic that they picked a Swedish fortress as Finlands famous landmark 😉
Finland was a part of Sweden for hundreds and hundreds of years, up until Russia took it in the early 1800s. That’s why the countries are very similar.
The difference in median age, crime, unemployment etc are due to immigration. Sweden has MUCH higher numbers of immigrants.
I'd be skeptical about some of those facts. E.g. the boring minced meat sauce is way more popular everyday food in Finland than salmon soup is. Regardless of the context, French being one of Finland's top 5 allies seems strange too. Suomenlinna Fortress is a landmark and it might be the most visited travel destination, but thinking of the most famous landmark in Finland, I would imagine it's the Helsinki Cathedral. Funny thing about skyscrapers-or about Finland's skyline being "flat"-is how the Finnish elevator and escalator manufacturer Kone is the global industry leader, and manages to produce and test elevators in Finland for some of the world's highest buildings: "Inside The Lab That Tests Elevator Free-Falls". Regarding the internet, this one's pretty mind-boggling too: "Linux: The Origin Story". As is Finland as the happiest country: "Is Finland Really The Happiest Country In The World?" and "ISMO | Happy Place".
Yeah... I can't understand why would France be in top 5. Surely ether Estonia or Germany at least would be higher in that list. Also the military power one obviously only takes into consideration active duty personnel and completely forgets that Finland still has conscription unlike Sweden.
We don't know the source for the military alliances listing here, but, back in the day, there was a decent amount of French military equipment being used by the Finnish forces, so that might be the reason.
Finland is East Sweden 😘😋
Military numbers are srewed, as Finland MAY have less active military personel, but it has way more MASSIVE reserve.....
Steffan Persson has inherited that money tho. Also he might be richest individual. But Wallenbergs (family of generaional wealth) in Sweden have a fund that owns about half of the whole Sweish stock market. So yeah if you work hard and all that, but generational wealth is usually the case when it comes to bilioners. Also the way Wallenbergs got that money in the first pace is bit immoral (ww2 things). You should check the a documenary on how Wallnbergs got that wealth.
Yes, we eat moose. Dry meat with no fat in the muscles make it a little special to cook.
