It's Finland>Inari>Ivalo. Oh, and Ivalo is actually a town. I accidentially wrote village there. Inari is the village thingie here (among many others).
Are there speed limits?
Yes there are, but some people don't even care about them. At the town it's 40km/h and outside it's usually 80-100km/h.
Do u have highways?
Never.
Do u have American cars over there?
At least I've seen a few Chevrolet pick-ups here. We mostly have European cars here.
What car is the most use?
I think in the seventies, Lada was the most common car here. Now they have almost disappeared when people started to have money to buy a better car. Now we a pretty equal mix of different major car marks here.
How many high schools are in Ivalo?
The one and only: "Ivalon Lukio"
What about the postal service?
Well, the mailcarrier drives every day around the town putting the post on boxes. You can find out more of our postal service here

Tell me about the phone company
The biggest one here is Sonera. Might be a little more expensive than most others, but its very reliable and high quality. Then there are many more (at least for cellphones). Some are good and cheap, some are not.
And the electricity
Our electric company is called Inergia. The price of electricity has gone a bit high now, but it's tolerable. We have had sometimes power failures due to lightning or just to some problems the electric company sometimes has.
Water thing too
We have clean and fresh water provided by "Lapin Vesi Oy" Some houses have wells attached to water faucets.
Are police cars all around the "village" inspecting? Do u have police at all?
Yes, we have police, but they usually just do nothing. If you're lucky, you might even spot a lonely police car patrolling our main road. But its pretty peaceful here, so there's not so big need of them. Sometimes just some stupid teenagers start drinking in our park at night and get caught. We even had a shop robbed last year. Or was it two years ago... The robber got only 50 euros and got caught embarrassed
And firefighters
We have them too. Don't know the actual amount, but at least we have four-six fire trucks. They do the job just fine.
What about the medical system?
We have a hospital, pharmacy and a few dentists here. The hospital can handle a reasonable amounts of patients, but they cannot have operations there. Most of seriously injured patients will be moved to the city of Rovaniemi. They also do the operations.
Do u have insurances?
Yes we have. Pretty many of different insurance providers too.
What about the social class? Are there like higher classes? I mean...rich ppl? How do they behave respecting other classes?
Well, we are all almost equal here. Of course there are people who are richer than most of us, but they don't differ from the mass and no-one mistreats anyone by class. Actually the only people who differ from the ordinary people are the few bums and the most famous of them all, "Cekkeri". We respect them more than ourselves. They have made this place a lot funnier to live in!
What's the name of ur president and vice p?
Our president is Tarja Halonen and our vice president is Matti Vanhanen.
How many banks are in Finland...or Ivalo?
Here in Ivalo we have three banks. In Finland at least seven.

Sampo, Nordea and Osuuspankki here in Ivalo, and Suomen Pankki, Säästöpankki, Tapiola and Aktia somewhere else in Finland. And then there are the investment banks EQ, Macister and EVLI.
A big amount of questions you had...
