FINLAND,
    If I'm not mistaken the Finnish language is related to Turkish and Mongolian, meaning that the Finns came from central Asia.  Russian domination left a bad taste, the Finns took advantage of the Russian revolution to split.  Fought off the Russians in World War II.  As I write this in 2008 Finnish coins of the Russian period are hot, after independence not so much.  Everything Russian related is hot right now.
