Hello! :)

Hello. I watched your vlog again. Really nice to see your reactions. Since I am Swedish there are a few things I could clarify for you. The first thing that you have to remember is the population. 10 millions in Sweden and 5 millions in Finland. When you looked at the armies you saw that they were equally large. That means that Finlands army i twice as big as Swedens according to the population. That is because of the winter war with Russia (that borders to Finland). Since southern Finland has been a part of Sweden historically we share a lot of political ideas and consider us to be brothers and sisters. One idea is unitary parliamentary which means that we only have one chamber in our parlament (USA and UK has two for example). We have many political parties and they reflect the result of the public referendum/vote. You are right when you say that it`s the gouverment who pays the parental allowance. In Finland you can stay home and get paid for 320 days and in Sweden you can stay home for 390 days. The allowance is based on your salary (80%). In Sweden there are 90 additional days but the allowance is only 17.5 USD/day. I was surprised when they said that the biggest export in Sweden was cars. It is machinery. The same as Finland. The two countries has the most forestation in Europe (Finland nr 1 and Sweden nr 2) and earlier we exported wood (and steel in Sweden) and now we export machinery (as developed countries go from exporting raw materials to refined goods). When it comes to our salaries the taxation in both our countries is progressive. It means that the more money you earn the higher tax you pay. That gives that most people have about the same salary after tax which gives good equality. That could be one faktor to why we are happy. The nordic countries also have the mindset of ”Jante” which means that we don`t think we are better (or less) than another person. In addition we have high taxes (happiness??). The reason to us being happy to pay taxes is that we can see what the taxes pay. Schools, hospitals, wellfare etc. We are also safe and trust eachother and the gouverment. That is probably the main reason for our happiness.

When comparing the army sizes, remember that sweden is double the size in population - and yet the armies are same sized. So technically finnish army is double that of sweden's per capita. Finland has compulsory military service for all men, and finnish artillery is bigger than germany's and france's artillery combined. Check out some military videos from finland :) And hey hey heeeeyyyy easy with the "sweden is better in ice hockey"! :D We will never agree to that! Also Finland was never part of the USSR. But our population is older than sweden's.

We call it parental leave in Sweden (maternal AND paternal). Someone wrote here that you’re on ”vacation” during your parental leave. You’re not. The 15 months of parental leave that each family is allowed per child can be used up until the child is 12 years old. And you’re on paid (subsidised by the state) leave from work. You’re not registered as unemployed.

There is a discussion in Sweden right now whether it should be allowed for companies to bring in labor from, for example, Thailand to pick berries? The reason is precisely that there are terrible working and living conditions for them, they are exploited and many lose money to come. If you can afford to come to Sweden as a tourist, you can pick your own berries, but I would not recommend coming here to work as a berry picker.

Recently watched a documentary about this specific topic here on youtube by german news DW and while they are definitely being exploited in the technical sense of the word (with low salaries and long work days with tough manual labor, at least comparatively by European standards), the pay seems to be enough to make some people come back year after year because it actually enables them to buy things that help improve their lives back in their homeland.

@@hachimaki The thing about berries is that there are good and bad berry years. The pickers are paid per kg of berries, not per hour worked. A picker can thus have a good year when it is possible to make money, and then the next year they have to work themselves to death without earning what it cost them to get there and back. In most cases, the worker must pay for the flight to and from the country. A lot of berries need to be picked just to pay for the trip and the berry season is short

Being on a parental leave definitely does not count as unemployment. Unless you were unemployed at the time of birth.

Sweden and Finland used to be the same country for about 700 years, until Sweden lost 1 of many wars against Russia. Finland was then taken from Sweden and placed under Russian rule. Finland eventually became free and were faced with the choice of what their identity would be. They chose to be Finns, as they were never Swedes (ethnically or culturally) and absolutely not Russians. Finland and Sweden has probably one of the closest relationships between countries today. Sweden has no oil at all, Norway has all of it. Surprised that they only mention cars as the highest export for Sweden, I would think weapons systems would be high up on that list. In Sweden we use the "krona" (meaning Crown). It is our old, traditional, currency and we like to keep it. It lets us have our own economy not be too dependent on how much the Euro is worth. No, you cannot pay with Euros in Sweden. However, Sweden is also basically cash-free, so you will have to pay with card pretty much everywhere.

export of weapons systems isn't even on the top 10 list. Cars and Trucks is #1, refined oil is #2 (yes we don't have oil but we take in raw oil and refine it for export), pharmaceuticals are #3, non electrical machinery are #4, paper is #5, electrical appliances are #6, iron+steel is #7

Here in Sweden we have a lot of Thai blueberry pickers too. And every year there is news about how badly they are exploited. It can be the Swedish client that doesn't provide what they need or the Thai agency that promise high payment that the workers never receive. And I guess there are similar problems in Finland too. So based on what I've heard when it doesn't work as intended I can't recommend that as an excuse to come here. But if you want to visit you are very welcome. And everyone are allowed to go out and pick their own blueberries because out right to roam regulations (Allemansrätten) and then you can eat them yourself. And these are not really what is called "blueberries", but actually "bilberries". Much yummier but basically impossible to farm, that's why pickers are out in the forests getting eaten alive by mosquitoes to get to them.

Fun and interesting reaction!👍 . About crimes; The murder rate per capita is 3 times higher in Thailand than in Sweden though. Scandinavia ranks as the safest area in the world according to World Population review. . Denmark is ranked as the 4th safest country in the world. I think Finland was in place 15 and Sweden in place 22. (The United States/USA was in place 129). So we have fallen a bit but Sweden is still a very safe country for the average person. I understand though that there are a lot of safe areas in Thailand too but there are also poor unsafe areas were the crime-rates are high (and also the deadly violence) according to the international reports. . I think one of the reasons for why there’s a lot of attention on Sweden when it comes to gang-crimes is because Scandinavia generally is so safe. Strong welfare states almost always are. . The reason for the increased gang-crimes are usually talked about as a consequence of Swedens very liberal migration laws that we had for 10-20 years, that the other Nordic countries did not have, and that the politics has become a bit more right-wing/neo-liberal which has weakened the welfare system to some extent and increased segregation on the housing-market and within the schoolsystem - which has been bad for integration. (And many people that come from war torn countries also have traumas with them of course and Sweden wasn’t really prepared enough for that). More than 80% of the young men that are involved in gang-crimes are immigrants or kids of immigrants/refugees. . We still have one of the strongest welfare-systems in the world though so society is still stabile, safe and wellfunctioning to a high degree. (Also right-wing-politicians have had to accept that the vast majority of the population wants to have a welfare-society so they cant make all the changes they want to, if they did they wouldn’t get any votes). Only around 0,5 % of Sweden consists of areas were there is a high or quite high level of gang-related crimes. And the shootings are almost exclusively within the gang-environment - meaning gang-members shoot each other. (It is still a big/serious problem of course).. Edit; I just want to add here that if you look at Sweden as a whole, not just the populated areas, its 0,02 % of Sweden that consists of areas that have big or quite big problems with gang-crimes. (0,5% is when you look at the populated/more populated areas.)

World Population Review, just like any other website and stats need to be taken with a grain of salt. Thailand is as safe as my country of birth Canada. I'm sure that the never ending conflict in a few provinces deep south of Thailand skew the data (between Thai and Muslims).

Well, I dont know if you are right but Suji cant come to Finland to pick blueberries now. This is because, as of 2.2.2024, foreign ministry of Finland had instructed Finnish embassy in Bankok to stop granting visums to Thai berry pickers, because of the risk of human trafficing, ongoing police investigation about human trafficing and bribery, and possible changes to the legal status of berry pickers.

Sweden is still very safe. But this thing depends on how you look at it. Sure, Sweden has been hit hard by gang violence. Some innocent people have been caught in between. Or several bombs going on a week in apartment areas - but Sweden is a big place. And it doesn't affect the population on the large scale (or maybe im just oblivious because I live outside the city lol). And thankfully it has gotten much calmer now the past year or so. There are however certain areas in the major cities that I wouldn't recommend tourists going to. You would probably be fine, but it's not without risk and it helps if you can blend in xD

Sweden doesn't have Euro.

About taxes we pay like 35%, but if you earn over 48 000 or something like that you pay 50% tax of the money that is over that amount. So if you earn 55000 you pay 50% of the 7000 between 48000-55000 in tax, plus 35% of the rest.

The religion percentage for Sweden is very wrong.

In reality, for original swedes, we are probably more than 95% atheists. But then we have a lot of immigrants, and most of them are muslims or christians.

check Spain for unemployment. almost 12%. Canada about 6%. No significant difference.

This was so weird experiment. ’What I just watched!? Come for the blue berries… those are excellent here! 😋

when you are registered in the unemployment centrum they count you as unemployed

5:30 No, we are *not* counting maternity leave... 🙂 The unemployment is immigrants living on welfare. And it's much higher than 8%, as people with artificial "jobs" (a couple hours a week) are labeled as "employed" in the statistics, in order to make it look better.

No you cannot pay with Euro in Sweden. Swedish kronor , Norwegian kroner, Danish Kroner are the ones ....actually only Finland uses Euro. The rest of the Nordic/Scandinavian (Denmark is only Scandinavian NOT Nordic) uses their own countrys curency kronor/kroner. Also Finland used to be a part of Sweden ...therefor there are still many names and cities in Finland with double names . Such as for example the cities Turku = Åbo, Helsinki = Helsingfors...Finish cities almost always also has a Swedish name. Finland is called _- Land of 1000 lakes ...For a reason... By the way..., GREAT ! Informative video/reaction

Denmark is also Nordic.

Majakka means Lighthouse in Finnish.

The blueberry thing is about to get fixed and the workers will get paid a union salary cause its a shame for sweden to not doing right to workers coming here and work so hard among all the moscitos and everything

Swedish GDP per capita is quite a lot higher than Finlands. So they botched that and probably some other info as well.

You're very welcome to pick blueberries in Finland! It's a part of everymen's rights so it's free and you can pick as much as you like! Damn Sweden beats us in almost everything except in happiness! What can I say. Money doesn't bring happiness! ;) Don't envy their crime rates though. Things seem to have gotten out of hands there. There was some things you misunderstood or guessed wrong but I don't remember what they were so lets skip it. Have a great weekend!

oh and about that berry picking it is free for all seen tons of thai people roaming in forests where everyone an pic em

@@MaxSujyNorden yeah that Germany nr.5 i thought they were in the bottom of top 10 and Canada got back to nr.1 because Finland won the world i think in past years and were doing very well i was expecting them to be 1st.

you don't choose to be finnish. You are finnish and then there are others. Bit like one day i just want to be japanese...not that easy.

No, the maternity leave is not part of the unemployment. Unemployment foreign born=15% Unemployment Sweden born =5%

When cit co es to the amount of water only lakes and rivers count, not the sea around them.

Check every index how Cänädä is doing. Kinda high but nowhere near nordic countries...

perental leave is not unemployment.

Tallinn is capital of Estonia! Helsinki is capital of Finland...

This video is so wrong about the finnish military strenght. We have close to a million reserves if needed. These videos are piss.

Sweden have bloueberrys too

Majakka--> Lighthouse

sigh- Christianity is by belonging to lutherian church, not actively being practicing but Sweden takes the 2nd most atheistic country in the world. I guess numbers are same bc ppl belong to some sort of church but don't really believe imaginary friends and act like maniacs. Checia is number one in that category...well done...and ice hockey country too. love them

Canada has been #1 for as long as I've been alive! Whoever made the list you found is clueless. 1. Canada, 2) USA, 3) Sweden, 4) Russia, 5) Finland, 6) Czech Republic. No idea what Germany is doing on that list, LOL! I can't even name 5 NHL players from Germany. If you google "Active NHL Players Totals by Nationality - Career Stats", you will get a good idea of the real ranking.

Nobody care about the International Ice Hockey Federation. And no disrespect to IIHF WC, but nobody care about that tournament in Canada and USA.

As u Said we have half of population compare to swe. So The whole GPD IS a half of them (kindom of The apes)😂.

Sweden has always been a monarchy! The Swedish king/queen is head of state (the highest leader in Sweden). Only Poles and Romanians work on Swedish construction sites. Native Swedes are too expensive/picky. The dog seems to be saying - stop digging too deep in that land now - something unpleasant might turn up...

Eww. Sweden 😂
