Finland is a small country on a global scale. Measured by its population, Finland is around the 114th biggest country, by its area the 137th. The population of Finland makes up just 0.07 per cent of the world's population and its total area as much of the total world area. But even a small country can jump to the top of the world, and this is what Finland has done: in international country comparisons of positive things Finland is often among the top countries next to other Nordic countries.
At the threshold of Finland's centenary celebrations, we collected a list of these things in which Finland is one of the best in the world. The comparisons speak for themselves: Finland best.

>[Johnny] Depp is of mostly English ancestry, with some ancestors from elsewhere in Europe. He is descended from a French Huguenot immigrant, Pierre Deppe or Dieppe, who settled in Virginia around 1700.[16] He is also of 3/2048 African descent, as he descends twice over from an African slave whose biracial daughter, Elizabeth Key Grinstead, was the first woman of Sub-Saharan African ancestry in North America to sue for her freedom from slavery and win (in 1655). >en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_of_self-identified_Cherokee_ancestry
