In case you're wondering, because I looked it up immediately when I had learned about it: It's manmade, was made in 1991, is 116 meters long, and a 1:10,000 scale of Finland! The construction engineer was Esko Sääskilahti. It was going to be the Centerpoint of a tourist village, but that part was never completed. The lake took a week to excavate. Hope you enjoyed learning some more! :-)

That's shockingly precise, considering the year of production.

that's a lot of castles. I didnt realise there were that many.

Yay, Czechoslovakia!

Probably 'counties', not countries. Edit 5 hours later to add: hmm, they changed the title from 'countries' to 'counties' so this comment now confusing, "huh?".

26% of the Netherlands should be under sea level.

Oops Turkey

Is this a map-?

That's alarming at very least

The fact that more than one person thought it was in the UK 😂😂😅

Not yet...

Too many :(

Even underwater. That's impressive.

YEEEEEEEESSS!!! THX ITALY FOR FINDING ME ATRACTIVE

The US government is definitely flawed

"Far beyond the ice and snow The voyage carries on For blood and gold, we sold our souls Redemption lies at Magnetic North"

Greece looks so complicated

I know strip malls and strip clubs are VERY different things, but I still can't help reading them the same when I see them together...

borders are so lame.

in other words, poverty -> bad air

Why is everybody walking away from Poland? Did Poland say anything controversial again?

France 😂

Am I the only one who googled for "Australian football" and "Gaelic football"? :)))

That's cause the housing market is crazy, prices are sky high.

Wait, what? You frigging kidding me?

I love how Finland is like "Perkele, absolutely no school uniforms in our place!"

I don't mind a school uniform, my kids wear one but it's not strict at all - as long as they're the right colours there's plenty of options so you can afford it and the kids are comfortable- shirts, polo shirts or t-shirts, jumper or cardigan with or without the logo, then trousers, shorts, skirts, pinafores - it's simple. I don't agree when it the extend to a ridiculous level of strictness - sending kids home for stupid reasons or dictating their personal appearance like hair colour. I like that schools here recognise a uniform is more of a guideline and understanding there's bigger battles that should take priority over something as daft as skirt length or if your trousers are made of denim

There is no mandatory school uniform in Russia...

I'm from the US and uniforms are very common in my state. They were instated at my school in my senior year😭 Over 20 years ago and I'm still salty.

Why is Romania yellow? School-specific uniforms are worn in private schools, and, in some places, primary kids have to wear shirts, skirts, pants etc. of a certain colour (black, dark blue, red etc.) It should be blue

Japan should be red. Although elementary school uniforms for public schools exist or not depending on each town, and most private elementary schools require uniforms, junior high and high school uniforms are mandatory.

I wouldn't want my teenage daughter to wear a school uniform. She might end up in a 'Motley Crew', 50th Reunion video.

this is somewhat misleading... the blue is game reserves. There would be near-zero lions left without game reserves.

We in Germany have 32% of our land mass covered in forests

this is why there needs to be no veto powers in the UN.

In my country (South Africa) we have terrible crime rates. Some say bringing the death penalty back would reduce it but Europe is a good example that that would not be the case.

so, places where people want independence?

Xi is watching you.

To be honest, i expected more :))))

I'd rather the US have this distribution than Russia or China....

Only the USA has the name " America" as part of their country name. Similarly to South Korean, generally speaking, no one says 'my parents are South Korean'. It's just 'my parents are Korean'. No one says 'I am United States of American's, it's just 'American'.

What is a day name?

So. Canada to Japan to UK to Canada. Repeat endlessly.

That's a lot of purple... *Nervously laughs in South African*

Decorative highway interchange *snort*
