You're a jingoistic idiot.
Nicely put, thanks and greetings from Finland, Industrialsize!
As for creativity, innovation, education, paving the way and cold winters:
The Finnish Education System has been ranking years in the top-of-the world range according to PISA (Programme for International Students Assessment), and actually that system is a great Finnish export in the past 5-10 years.
For someone who values and knows about classical music, it is astounding that out of a nation of just under 6 million people, a dozen orchestra conductors have emerged that are currently ranked "best and most sought after" in the world; you can google each of these individually and find out their international activities with the most prestigious orchestras and venues: Esa-Pekka Salonen, Osmo Vänskä, Jukka-Pekka Saraste, Sakari Oramo, Hannu Lintu, Susanna Mälkki, Santtu-Matias Rouvali, Mikko Franck, Pietari Inkinen, Klaus Mäkelä.
Finland boasts 28 professional full scale classical orchestras.
In a world where Hollywood movies dominate the market with products that often have little to do with film as an art form, it's quite amazing that a country that has a unique language that only 6+ million people in the world speak, about 20-35 feature length films are produced annually. Some of them are widely exported to European countries. One of my recent years' Finnish favorites, "The Happiest Day in the Life of Olli Mäki, won top prize in the Cannes Festival sidebar Un Certain Regard in 2016, beating out higher profile films. The film is a complex and fun melange of poetry, satire and drama in the early 1960's world champion boxing scene, and a true story. The humor in the film is off-beat in a very unique Finnish way, not unlike that of the great Finnish film auteur Aki Kaurismäki, highly regarded and prized internationally.
You'd shocked to hear how sober the Finns of younger generations are! No boozing, good quality wines are appreciated and the sales of non-alcoholic wines are booming.
As for the long cold winters, the unfortunate global climate change has given Southern and Middle Finland practically no snow in the last 5 years; this trend very much speeded-up by the idiotic and uninformed decisions by Trump and his ilk, with total disregard for science and fact.
And to give this a post a reference to both history and politics:
* SAUNA is a source of great relaxation and the true sauna is an ancient Finnish invention as well as a Finnish word.
* Finland was the third country in the world and the first in Europe to give women the right to vote, and the first in the world to expand this right to full scale as women could also equally be placed as candidates in elections, starting from 1906. Finland has the youngest prime minister in the world - fresh minds and brains are needed to solve problems of the world - and she is a woman, a daughter of a couple of two mothers. The prime minister Sanna Marin leads a team of 19 ministers, 12 are women and 7 are men.
