Finland would have a higher population if they would just get rid of Death Month.

It's just a name, like the Forbidden Month or the Month of No Return, all the months have names like that in the Season of Terror.

No, Finland becomes the Purge for a month, ensuring that only the strongest and craftiest Finns survive. If you see an old Finnish person, better respect them. They survived decades of annual battle royals.
