Bastur per invånare: vilket land har flest bastur per person?
Vi räknade varje bastu i GoToSauna-katalogen och delade med folkmängden. Finland har omkring 12× det europeiska genomsnittet; Island är den oväntade tvåan; och VM:s största fotbollsnationer ligger i botten.

Finland is famous for sauna. But how famous — in hard numbers? We counted every published sauna in the GoToSauna directory and divided by national population to find the most sauna-dense countries in Europe. The headline: Finland lists 10.1 saunas for every 100,000 people — roughly 12 times the European average, and more than three times its closest rival, Sweden.
Below is the full ranking, the surprises hiding in it, and — because we think a data study should show its work — exactly how we counted and what the numbers do not mean.
