Angry Birds originated in Finland
The mobile gaming sensation Angry Birds began life in Finland. Founded by students in 2003, the game's creators Rovio Entertainment went on to become publicly listed in 2017 at a $1 billion valuation.

Angry Birds isn't the only worldwide smash to have originated in Finland. Nokia's Snake–arguably the most influential mobile game ever–and Clash of Clans are also Finnish.

Finland is sauna mad
Estimates put the number of saunas in Finland at around two million. That's not bad for a population of 5.3 million! They can be found in city apartments, forest cabins, and even some big companies and state institutions!

Breakfast is a savoury affair
Sweet breakfasts are popular in some parts of Europe, but not in Finland. Breakfast here is a similar affair, with butter, cold cuts and/or cheese eaten on top of bread, in the same style as Norwegian pålegg. The sweetest most Finnish breakfasts get is a few berries stirred into porridge.

Finns are the world's biggest coffee drinkers
Most people would think Europe's coffee capital would be Italy or France. But no, it's the Finns that consume more coffee per capita that any other country in not just Europe, but the world.

The average Finn consumes an astonishing 12kg every year. Drinking eight cups of coffee per day would not be considered unusual in Finland.

Almost half of Finland's foreign population lives in Helsinki
We have Statistics Finland to thank once again for this fact! At the beginning of 2020, there were 423,494 people with a foreign background living in Finland. Of those, 209,108 lived in the Greater Helsinki region. Those with a Somali and Indian background have the greatest concentration in the capital region.

Finland is the world's happiest country
The Nordic countries consistently rank at the top of the UN's annual World Happiness Report. But in 2020, Finland leapfrogged the rest to finish top of the pile.

The rankings take into account many factors. Life expectancy, freedom to make life choices, economic strength, generosity, social support from friends, perceived corruption, and views of the survey respondents.
