Scandinavian countries have very high standards for education and that sort of stuff. People are not superstitious and religions have rather small part. Scandinavian people understand the point; you want to be good, you have to train.

And this goes for all scandinavian countries, poker is just so much bigger in Sweden than in Finland or Norway, so that's why Swedes are little a head now. In Finland poker is just starting to grow (WPT started this autumn) and if I'm not totally wrong (I very well may be), poker is illegal in Norway.
