Historic Win For Åland Islands
The Ålandic team could hardly hide its excitement as the celebrations went on. “Are we surprised? Not really”, Ålandic Team leader told the journalist, speaking just after receiving the award for Most Humble People In The World.
It turns out that due to a tiny logistical concern, only votes from the Ålandic judges has been counted. However, Ålandic organizers emphasized that the issue could not have had any impact on the final outcome.
