I live in the northern part of Finland (center part when simply looking just at the map though), and I know of at least two other Finnish Kancolle players. I'm no fan of heat, so I enjoy the place I'm living at. Long winters and short summers is how I like it. Even our summers are generally not too hot here in the northern part of Finland, it is rare that the temperature goes above 30° Celcius here. Most people here do prefer heat and summer in general, but I love the winter myself.

I'm not too knowledgeable about it as I don't spend time within Finnish anime fan groups and such, but it appears there is quite a sizeable amount of people here that like anime and such, and there are a surprising number of anime conventions held here too. In particular, around where I live, one of the world's most northest anime conventions is held yearly. Last time around, there were ~3000 visitors in that convention during the period of 2 days when it was held, which genuinely surprised me.
