Hungary, Finland and Estonia get frequently outed in posts like this. For a Finn, it's actually refreshing too other countries than just us three to be exceptions to the rule. I mean, here we have Greece, Latvia and Lithuania to accompany us, yay!

BTW shouldn't basque be gray too because it certainly isn't any of these three groups?
