An English man called Isaac Newton invented gravity. Before that people just floated around and had to use bungee cords and velcro to stay attached to the ground. People could only sleep in hammocks.
Best thing your country ever did.

Umm...
I don't really know.
None of my favourite films, TV-shows, books or bands come from Finland (Except the progressive rock/punk band Hassisen Kone, which is only my 4th favourite band and they seperated many years ago).
Uhh, can anyone tell me what is in their opinion the best thing Finland did? I can't think of any.

You, you, invented robot chicken. You win da interwebz! I bow down to you and humbly give you my uni-conditional surrender. The one condition is that we get to keep Seth Green.OmegaXzors said:

We provided the main army (Andean Army) that not only liberated us, it also fought to free Chile, Paraguay (not directly but still) Peru and Bolivia. So we are partially responsible for the freedom of 4 other countries. To be honest it was probably our best action ever, we did other things but ask anyone who lives in Argentina about the Andes Campaign or General San Martin, and that time of glory comes to mind
Doctor Who, Simon Pegg (which means both Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz), Monty Python and Charlie Brooker.
We win.
We win.
Nikola Tesla made all his inventions here. IN YOUR FACE, CROATIA!

Socialized medicine? (Ok, we didn't invent it...but it's probably the best thing to happen here)
Well Finland had Simo Häyhä. For those of you who don't know he was a Finnish sniper in the Second World War, and using a standard iron-sighted, bolt action rifle in the Winter War, he has the highest recorded number (505) of confirmed kills in any major war.Trotgar said:
OT: Britain easily wins cause we have Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, Monty Python, Doctor Who, the SAS (who are the original special forces and are widely agreed to be the best special forces in the world), Muse (the band), the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and the fact we haven't been invaded for nearly a thousand years.
EDIT: Oh, and also the British Empire which the sun never set on, and was the biggest empire in history. And we had J.R.R. Tolkien, Charles Dickens and J.K. Rowling.
ANOTHER EDIT: We found America, which technically means all of America's achievements are because of us British, and English is the second most widely spoken language in the world, including primary and secondary speakers.
