Yep. Am a Finn. Now live down south in Helsinki but used to live 600 km up north as a kid. I remember the car trips to Helsinki, with the endless expanses of forest without human habitation in sight. Sure made the trips feel even longer than they actually were.

Didn't know the percentage was that high though.

There's a mistake, Iceland is 2 not 2%

The funny thing is that the name Holland comes from the old word for wood, Holt.

It used to be a full woodland but these days Holland are the 2 provinces with the least amount of trees hahah.
