Luxemburg 1, USA 2 ... Finland 19


Norway 6..


Of the nordic countries, Norway's GDP is 37% ahead of Finland
and Sweden according to the latest figures from Nordic
Statistical Yearbook 2003.


Sort of like watching mice fight.

Finland is the world's most competitive economy followed by

In economic terms "competitive economy" is extremely nebulous,
and some economists would suggest meaningless.


Not to set off a braging contest, but WRT the nordic
economies, below are some realworld figures for comparison
to the above.

Until you're unlucky enough to get caught in between. Speaking of
fighting... I heard Norway these days has Europe's highest defence
budget, per capita.

One should understand that per capita GDP is also
imprecise. We, for example, spend something like twice the
amount per capita on medical expenses (something like 20% of
GDP), with generally lower life expectancy and higher infant
mortality.
Our GDP is boosted by the inefficiencies in health care.

GDP isn't actually a measure of wealth generated -- though it's
often used as that. It's a measure of economic activity. If I crash
my car and pay someone 100 quid to fix it, that adds 100 pounds to
Britain's GDP, but nothing to its wealth.

(since when does this thread have anything to do with aircraft
carriers? Besides, I don't have a clue what this thread has to do in
the rec.aviation.military group.)

That being said, Finland does have around 60 F-18 Hornets, so I guess
they must have a couple of aircraft carriers too. I mean, why else
would they have carrier-planes?

It is worth bearing in mind that Finland has a smaller population than
several US cities, and how many of them can boast that sort of defence?
