I guess it's just the way of general living. Cities are small, people will generally leave alone, I like the language. It's socially acceptable to turn off your phone and drink alone without saying a word over christmas holidays. "huh, you're still alive?" is an acceptable greeting. Heard someone describing finnish society built by engineers to other autistic engineers. Some might call it boring, I find it peaceful.
As if we've not been "NATO compatible" for the better part of 2000's, and have had separate agreements with nato countries about defense. And of course participating NATO joint excercises, trade yada yada yada. And the question "should we join with these guys" has popped up every few years after soviet union fell (and co-operation and friendship treaty with soviets was anulled).
EDIT: So it wasn't question of 'If' but 'When'
