@Hellhammerabadon I beleive it is Sami art, the Sami are the indeginious people who live in the north of Finland, Sweden, Russia and Norway, they were the first people in Scandinavia, and have a unique language, they heard the reindeer and live in nomadic-style ways, although they are no longer nomadic, they were oppressed for a long time but now have a seperate parliment and flag in all the nations but Russia, this anthem I recognize, it is the Sami national anthem aswell as the Lapland anthem.

Why in the blue hell do they have a half naked dude in their flag?

Nice song! Greetings from Hungary!

Very nice song! I've heard that the Saami have been treated as 2nd class citizens in their countries, and that the name by which they're more commonly known, Lapps, is derogatory.
XD, Wow, Lapland has the coolest flag, the fact that they were willing to make and keep a half-naked muscle man on their flag is cool enough let alone those Dog/Mouse thigns on the side.

Those who do not know what the naked man is. He is a symbolic mark of freedom. the three others are the reindeer, They symbolize for them the three sisters, it symbolizes the three Sami populations living in four countries. but also naked man also means king and people in some areas..
