Bro, come to northern Sweden and say that again lol

Also if we're talking about the European continent as a whole finland, the urals, and maybe the west coast of ireland depending on definitions.

Yeah, I just get a bit peeved cuz I live up here, lol!

If I drive 250km to my grandparents I will not see much of buildings and people.

Come to the most uninhabitable place on the continent for some real rural living!
