Why would it be Japan that is fishing there? Wouldn't it make more sense for it to be Russia or Sweden, or literally any other country on the Baltic Sea?

The way I heard it was it was a partnership between, iirc, Russia and Japan. Russia makes sense (as much as anything “makes sense” in this context) geographically, Japan… maybe because they eat a lot of fish?

It's all makes sense. That's how Nokia became such a big tech company, because it's actually Japanese. Altho I did play a crazy golf competition there, but there was a lot of drinking so who knows.

There was a census where the total population of Finland fit in the margin of error for the measurement, meaning there's a 50/50 chance it was actually 0.

I believe the logic was that Finland's population was less than the margin of error for the global population therefore there was a chance Finland didn't exist. That gives the how, this girl provides the why...
