I just found a YouTube thing called Star Wreck, an Eastern European spoof onboth ST:TNG and Bab 5. Fairly amusing. They even made a point of having Garabaldi put his hands in his pockets!

Although Finland is in Europe and is eastern, it is not generally
regarded as "Eastern Europe", as it was never part of the Byzantine
Empire, is not Eastern Orthodox, has never been Turkic or Islamic, is
not Slavic, and was never a component or satellite of the Soviet Union.
Not only that, it's not usually considered Scandinavia--huge debate on
that one, but I'm on the "it's not Scandinavian" side.
Poor Finland. I think the only reason it exists is to have a language
in which to dump all the consonants no one else uses.

Hmmm. It /was/ part of the Russian Empire for over 100 years, and the second largest religious denomination is the Eastern Orthodox. As for the rest, true.

That depends on where one studied geography. We had the same discussion
in rec.sport.soccer. Some learn that the Scandinavian peninsula starts up
at the north kink. I, however, learned it as the "Scandinavian Tiger".
(You can picture it as a big cat form, Finland and parts of Russia being
the hind legs and the tail.)

What about Georgia, then? :)
And Wales, too. There's the old joke about a Wheel of Fortune puzzle where the topic is Welsh place names and the contestant loses control of the wheel because he asks to buy a vowel.I watched the Finnish version of WHeel a few years ago. That was a
