> Finland is a tiny developed country

Maybe you're thinking of Iceland (population 364,000) rather than Finland (population 5.5 million)?

For comparison Finland is almost exactly the same size as Colorado both in population (5.5M vs 5.7M) and area (338k km² vs 270k km²).

In terms of population only Finland sits between NYC (pop 8M+) and LA (4M).

[yencabulator]

Based on the NYC reference I assume you mean Los Angeles and not the state of Louisiana? The City of Los Angeles is kinda irrelevant to what's considered "Los Angeles", and the Greater Los Angeles area that most people would consider to be all part of "Los Angeles" the place they call home is just about 19M residents.
