    FYI: that joke might be a little more racist than you intended, since the circled region is populated by a historically oppressed ethnic minority rather than the typical Scandinavians you were probably thinking of.

    (Not trying to criticize since I doubt you did it on purpose; just taking the opportunity to make my Wiki-walking pay off for once.)

      The Sami were the inspiration for elves in a lot of Norse folktales. That’s all I was getting at.
