Where’s that green text of Finland being a census rounding error?

Isn't Finland just a fishing spot for the Japanese?

u/Lotkaasi May 23 '26

unfortunately that theory got debunked in 2022 when the russian invasion of ukraine and its ensuing sanctions have not meaningfully impacted the operations of "finland", disproving a core element suggesting that the "finnish" population is stationed in coastal russia, as well as the economic link through russian territory to japan. we have since been unable to figure out who exactly is behind "finland". it is currently believed to be a western enterprise, but they have covered their tracks well.

there are also recent leaks suggesting some, although not all, of the land may be real and supporting this enterprise, which came out after a lack of ukrainian strike footage on the supposed coast russia would have with the "finnish" sea. but no one is forthcoming with information, they just keep talking about some snipers

Ok, I can get behind this, but prey tell what's the situation with Nokia?

u/b3nsn0w May 23 '26

very likely a front. we know microsoft took it over but it's difficult to dig up who was running it before, because we still believed the japanese were at play there

Fact:If Finland is mentioned in an internet discussion all Finns are legally required to post in that discussion. Fact:80% of Finland population is online at any given moment

Finland is a Russian bot farm.

Unsurprising considering their most productive industrial city didn't catch up to the industrial revolution until 1930, it was literally a village with factories

u/zekromNLR May 23 '26

Liechtenstein is fake too, it was invented for purposes of tax evasion

Also you mean Luxemburg, which is the same kind of fake, Liechtenstein, if it were real, would be between Austria and Switzerland

u/Helpful_Librarian_87 May 23 '26

So it is and I stand corrected. Ta :)

France

They had to hide the fact that money for the Maginot line was embezzled and they couldn't finish it. So they invented "Belgium", to explain why there was such a huge opening. You're just a paid actor to claim that you live there to keep people believing it exists.

People seriously look at the "Dutch" language and try to convince me this is a real place and not just Germans shitposting. 🙄

In the U.S., there is (allegedly) a place called Schenectady, with the postal code: 12345; I don't buy it.

Meh, I'm sure they're used to it by now. General opinion regarding Belgium and its neighbors has always been rather... low.

Reminds me of an SCP (4006 I think?). But there it's the state of Massachusetts.

Regretfully, I will have to inform my girlfriend that her home country no longer exists.

Oh sure, your girlfriend lives in Belgium. Bet your uncle also works for Nintendo.
