Where's Finland?

A country that spend decades with the highest suicide rate . . . and to quote Kaunis Maa (Finish Language and Culture for Fun):

"Pekka, an expatriate Finnish man visiting California, was recently diagnosed as clinically depressed, tanked up on anti-depressants and scheduled for controversial Shock Therapy when doctors realised he wasn’t depressed at all - only Finnish."

The short article's worth a read.

RE: Where’s Finland?

According to Gallup ( See here: http://www.gallup.com/poll/159254/latin-americans-positive-world.aspx#2 ).

74% of Finns polled say they are happy. That’s just 2% below the USA.

See the Table in the above link.
