Finland is the Best Country The World,Officially
Many Finnish people are in their humble way and not seeking glory are slightly lost for words when Newsweek announced that Finland is the best country in the world.Many people see Finland as a cold country with the inhabitants suffering from either depression or alcoholism and living in a winter wasteland
This report was NEWSWEEK`sfirst ever best country issue.Newsweek’s aim was to show that if you were born today,which country would give you the very best opportunity to live a healthy, safe, reasonably prosperous, and upwardly mobile life?.The criteria for the test results were based on several factors,Education,Health,Quality of Life,Economic Dynamism or productive growth and Political Factors.Finland scored well in all the categories however to some Finnish people there remains a little scepticism as Switzerland were considered the best country the world
I am convinced the Finland education system is second to none,with many Finnish students going on from secondary school to high school and higher such as university The voracious appetite for reading by the Finns is again something that all visitors to Finland can witness when out and about.There is also a very active student exchange program in all schools giving young Finnish people the chance to study abroad.Hence so many languages are spoken by Finnish people.It is easy to see why Finland has been voted the best country in the world
Finnish Healthcare in Best Country
Best Country Finland
Finland offers a free for all-comprehensive health care system.As a sufferer of Multiple Sclerosis and visually disabled,I have first hand experience of the excellent Finnish Health Service in action and it was free and prompt.I see it as essential for a country to be voted the best country in the world to offer a reasonable if not good Health Care System.This includes primary care as well as secondary after care.Whilst living in Finland,I was amazed at how active Finns are in keeping active and eating low fat foods.This I consider to be a must for living a healthy lifestyle!You see,the Finnish people actively take care of their health and fitness in their every day living,needing only go to hospital for care and attention in acute cases.Finland being voted as a best country is as much a part of the excellent countrywide services available to all as much as the responsibility every Finnish person takes for their own health care.Cycling,swimming,jogging,skiing and ice swimming all plays an intricate part in following a healthy lifestyle
Security and Standard of Living in Best Country Finland
Security within any country that we live in,is off prime importance for a happy and fulfilling lifestyle.Crime in Finland is generally low and with the assistance of the patrolling Finnish Police,it ensures it stays peaceful.For many years I was a true advocate of Charles Bakunin and his theory of anarchism,but as with communism and extreme right wing ideals it failed.20 years older and having travelled and frequented many countries cultures,customs and people,Finland rightly deserves to be chosen as the best country to live in for security and lifestyle.There is ample space for all to roam and enjoy,the surrounding countryside and cities are kept spotlessly clean and free of litter.So if you are thinking of retiring or moving abroad for a better lifestyle,pay attention to all that Finland has to offer as voted as the best country in the world

“Should I have applied for citezenship then I would have been forced to join the Finnish Armed Services for a 12 month stint. I do not agree with conscription and war of any kind,so I was forced to leave applying for citezenship until I was aged at least 35.”
Parasite.
Hi,
I was informed and checked it out.The age is up until 30 years old for conscription.However should you have an illness or disability you may be excused this term of duty
You will need to check it out with the Finnish Authorities
When I fir st arrived in Finland I was 25,but who wants to join the army when newly married?I certainly did not!
Greg
Yes. Thank you very much for taking the time to reply. Actually it’s more like 30 years of age when the generals cease to be interested in making use of your military services, and in any case you could have taken the civilian route. I was merely intrigued by the idea of “living in limbo” for so long – my concept of ex-patness doesn’t extend to a couple of decades, but to short-term spells when one is basically only half in the host-society and simultaneously looking back to the motherland. A great many foreigners living in Finland are of course in this half-way category, but not many of them have lived here since the 1980s, and I suspect that few are quite as genuinely enthusiastic as you are about the country. Anyway, keep up the blogging. :)
Thanks for your input.Actually there are quite a few British Expats living in Finland who choose to not get naturalized.I personally have no intention of returning to Britain and Finlands easy way of life is comfortable and easy in many respects.It goes to show how much the world is getting smaller

I’m naturally delighted you like the place. It ain’t perfect by any manner of means, but it ticked all the boxes that Newsweek offered and was probably a worthy medallist – even if the lameness of the magazine’s schoolboy excuses for the snafu over Switzerland’s points almost beggared belief. What interests me – and of course you need not answer this hugely intrusive and personal question – is that with all its benefits and with 22 years of living in the country, why have you not become a naturalised Finn? Given that it is passing hard to dispose of your British citizenship (I suspect only a personal audience with HM in which you vigorously tear up your passport might suffice), taking Finnish citizenship by naturalisation would be a largely painless exercise and would entitle you to take part more fully in the running of the nation (well, that’s a stretch, but it would at least give you a vote and would speak volumes in the “putting your money where your mouth is” department). Twenty-two years seems a long time to be an ex-pat. Go native and burn your boats! :)
It is very simple.When I came to Finland in 1988 I was 24 years old.Should I have applied for citezenship then I would have been forced to join the Finnish Armed Services for a 12 month stint.
I do not agree with conscription and war of any kind,so I was forced to leave applying for citezenship until I was aged at least 35.This I did and have not really seen any reason to change my ideals as Finland is in Europe and as a European it is free to travel,work and settle down in a member state.To tell you the truth,”I just do not see any reason to get naturalized.!
I hope this answers your question
