Lol, totally Port. Although I'm not sure which ones he still has. But he was EVERYWHERE. Damn he used to be badass. xD And now... everybody just forgets about him wtf.
Uh, I have NO IDEA. Geez. They hate us, they give us next to nothing, they have their own government and culture and have practically NOTHING to do with us. I seriously don't know. We can't even use them for defence purposes because the area is demilitarized and the inhabitants are exempt from military service. Although I think they did help us voluntarily to fight Russia back in WW2 times. Actually one of my friends suggested that it's because the islands would be such a good strategic point to use against us which is a good point, but then again I don't think Sweden would try to invade us anymore. Russia then again No, I'm NOT starting with Russia today.
*sob* I have no idea. D: And damn it I hate the fact that we just tried to shove our culture down their throats too until the 90's. It's just so lame. orz And trying to prove we weren't related to them (which we are) because they were considered an inferior race back in the... more nationalistic times.
Pfffft when you put it that way... IT'S TOTALLY TRUE. xD;;;; Because we DO do that, mostly for tourism. Or the Finns in Lapland do it, pretend they are Sámi because it's cool nowadays and all the tourists expect it and can't tell the difference. And the real Sámi are like ".... >__> GTFO, Finland."
