Ahhh... now the thing is it is arrogance to imagine you have a "new idea", because then you think the locals are so stupid they haven't thought all this already

You're not familiar with the
"Ley de Jante"or "Nordic Rules of Small Town Life" are you? So really, I can't understand the arrogance either

Easy? I'd guesstimate the geography dept. is 90% Finnish. Geodetiikka is your study.
