10/ Bonus toot - we would be remiss not to seize the rare chance to work a Monty Python reference into a #geoweirdness thread, so please enjoy their musical homage to Finland 🇫🇮

@opencage I expected you to mention that many places and roads have official names in two languages (and maybe promote the OpenCage's language feature with that :)

Or that it has the 4th largest lake in Europe, but unlike others, it's made of hundreds little parts, which in part gave Finland the title of "the land of thousand lakes". (And also the lake has like 14000 islands and is a super huge multipolygon in OSM that sometimes causes trouble).
