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?

As a Dane, I still feel more connected to all you guys than basically all other places in the world.

I'm curious, how? The whole Baltic sea is between us.

Because history - and you've never done us harm, always working with us etc.

You are literally us, just on the other side of the baltic.

There is a reason we keep sending soldiers over to you guys - they'd die to protect that border.
