I can think of some other problems with Finland from my years of experience with the country. One is nepotism: Finland has a reputation as a low-corruption country, but that is simply because it is swept under the rug that often jobs and state funding go to the people with the right connections. Another downside is a society that is rather hostile to those who want to work only seasonally. In Eastern Europe populations are comparatively poorer, but it isn’t at all unusual for a young person to work his/her ass off for a while, then backpack the world or live off savings. In Finland, I found this challenging because rental contracts on flats are very long as a rule, and because the high cost of living makes it difficult to live off savings.
