Finland is is actually just ocean, and that Japan and Russia conspired to persuade the world theres a country there, to cover up the fact that Japan does unlimited fishing and whaling there with no international oversight.
after World War II, Russia found itself short of food. Japan was facing a related problem, in that they found theyd been overfishing and needed new waters. So they approached Russia with the idea of granting them secret fishing rights in the Baltic; and to hide it from the rest of the world, theyd mutually agree to tell everyone that much of the Baltic Sea was actually a landmass called Finland so theres no need for anyone to try and regulate fishing there. Russia agreed, and together they built the Trans-Siberian Railway to facilitate the endeavour, and as a quid pro quo, Japan donated much of its catch to Russia. Finnish people are actually Swedish, but have been convinced that they live in a country called Finland, and since it's all forest anyway, nobody is the wiser. They were persuaded to adopt the newly developed Finnish language (created for this purpose) which is suspiciously close to Japanese. Maps, aerial and space photography, and GPS systems worldwide have been altered to make it appear that Finland is real — in an amazing act of international cooperation. Why do all of us other countries go along with this? As a gesture of goodwill to Russia and Japan. 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 one of the worlds largest importers of Nokia products despite the fact that and nobody there owns a Nokia phone apparently. Plus Japan likes sushi and people supposedly from Finland are called Fins
