On a serious note, Japanese society is, despite superficial appearances, probably less racially hung up than Europe. Manners and acculturation matter more. "More Japanese than the Japanese" is a genuine compliment given that aspects of "being Japanese" can be challenging even for native born.

The only risk in this plan is if what’s left of Canadians gain superpowers from radiation.

Our plan is to
1) instigate a Global Thermonuclear War
2) practice the art of the blades in underground ice hockey rinks as the fallout subsides
3) thus ensuring Finnish dominance in ice hockey World Championships

More than that, countries broadly following the (Nordic) Social Democratic model are at or very near the top of practically every measurement of societal achievement _ever devised_.
All measurements have issues and any one statistic could be flawed.
But when they all point to the same direction…

Reading this 2022 archived thread on Finnish defence policy by @jmkorhonen.fi, it strikes me how many things which I and most Finns take for granted probably aren't so abroad.

Total defense policy is also visible most Fridays, when the conscripts go home for the weekend. (One Japanese lady once asked me at the Helsinki main railway station, "is this a military base, because there are so many people in camoflage uniform?") 15/

Or rather, like a school without fire hoses. Another piece of equipment you just take for granted is there, and you also assume is never going to actually be used in real life.

OK so the school bomb shelter is sometimes the store for theatre props instead. The point is, it's there, and seeing a school without one feels like seeing a school without toilets.

English schools don't have a bomb shelter next to the gym. This is weird. I mean, where do you store all the hoopla rings, basketballs, etc?

Mielenkiintoinen kysymys kyllä.
Samoin on kiinnostavaa se, miten juttu on kirjoitettu.
Iloinen veronmaksaja täällä on toki tyytyväinen siihen, millä panoksella suurimmat eläkkeensaajat osallistuvat hyvinvointivaltiomme pyörittämiseen.
