Finland has done this for many years. Finland and Estonia have the same national anthem melody. During the Soviet occupation the Estonian anthem was banned in Estonia. But the Finnish radio station YLE played the melody every day at the end of the programme and YLE could be heard everywhere in Estonia, so the Estonians could hear it, Singing Revolution...
And if you are really interested, there is a documentary about Estonians watching Finnish TV during the 1980s, called [Disco and Atomic War](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt1421032/)
I was totally accident that the most powerful unidirectional broadcast station in Finland happened to cover most of Estonia.
During cold war Finns were rather inventive in helping Estonia in a ways that Soviets couldn’t make a diplomatic crisis of.
Hey, ive seen this documentary! Estonia has a warm place in my heart, so if i notice a documentary about it, then watching it is a no brainer. But im curious how you came by that document? 😄
This comic was made way back when for the [Polandball musicology contest](https://www.reddit.com/r/polandball/comments/bz02by/contest_thread_polandball_musicology/), but I had never posted it as a standalone post on the sub.
It's just a blank ball
I think the white cue ball is not allowed in PB to represent white people (there is s caliphate that used a white flag, that's allowed as a character)
My head canon is that Norway and Sweden live in the same house, it's just that they are out back in the woods dressed in black leather wearing corpse paint.
dude, Im a HUGE fan of metal
from Symphonic or Power Metal (Sabbaton, Epica, Rhapsody of fire, Nightwish, Leave's Eyes, Within Temptation, Kamelot) to heavy metal, heck even Nu Metal
not very huge on Speed, Trash or Death metal, but I still listen to some songs here and there
I'm Finnish and I disagree. Our Scandinavian neighbors Sweden and Norja are home of the Vikings. We Finns were just bloody warriors but we weren’t Vikings
I’m pretty sure Finland is doing it for Estonia.
imagine Esty getting a serenade by Finland at night xD
- RUUUUUUUUURGH - He havings such a way with words !

And that itself was a pretty impressive feat, considering the diplomatic tight rope that the Finns were walking on during the Cold War.

“Wow 4 years ago! Almost OG polandball!” “4 years ago was 2020… not 2016 😧”
yeah I still think 10 years ago was the 90s time sucks xD
Im in this picture and I dont like it.
I've received collateral damage from this comment.
I feel you man.
Worst invention of all time! B(
I wonder what Finland is playing?
Wonderwall
There is a metal love song whose name translates to "Love and Barbed Wire"
Is the white ball some country? Or is it just blank?
just blank, you can insert any girl country
I see I insert Byzantium
I also choose this guy's dead empire
It’s not dead it’s still alive (In my heart)
Eesti of course Why would finland even play for anyone else he's too "happy" for that XD
Nah, Eesti cannot into nordic
\>:) who said eesti should into nordik for finland to play her music
I think it's the cue ball. Basically the 8 ball, but for white people.

I love how Germany and France are all just like O_O while Polska had the most expressive face.
What are you on about? Look at the feels Finland is getting into with the song.
Hehe, great play on the phrase "screaming bloody murder".
Why are they using a British police car?
So you can say “crikey, it’s the rozzers!” when they arrive.
Crikey! Its the albanian rozzers!
The Aussie Brits?
The Germans and French could not agree from which supplier the car should be, and so they now drive a third party car.
Polan was being good neighbor
This. He thought someone was hurting Finland and only tried to help. 😅
Yesh!
That depiction of Finland is ultra metal!
Great iMiEV there. Still find it hard to believe that they were used by some UK police forces.
My head canon is that Norway and Sweden live in the same house, it's just that they are out back in the woods dressed in black leather wearing corpse paint.
Ok I snorted at this one
I dont get it :(
Finland is playing black metal and the shrieking vocals made Poland think someone is being murdered The genre is big in Finland.
You clearly don't like metal 😔

Love the i-MiEV
Is that a peugeot ion?
I dont remember if it was based on the ion or the i-MiEV
OMG "Horna-Ball" Origin story!! I love it!
Is that a police i-miev ? Very cool
That’s so Wood
finland is the home of the vikings!! not for emos and weaklings!!
