There are more saunas than cars in Finland. The Nordic countries consistently rank at the top of the UN's annual World Happiness Report. The Finns have seven national nature symbols, which received their status through public polls in the 1980s and 1990s. The reason that Finland has so many national natural symbols is because nature is very dear to the Finns. The Finns are a very honest bunch. In Finland, people are assumed to be honest all the time, and trust is implicit unless proven otherwise. Finns respect the personal space of each other a lot.
