Finland is regarded here:

   http://www.heritage.org/research/features/index/countries.cfm

as the 16th on the list of economic freedom.  Hong Kong is at the top, 
and North Korea is at the bottom (#157 of the ranked nations).  The US 
is #6 on this list.

If the taxation in Finland is as bad as Warp says, it must be horrid in 
the places farther down.
