Nothing in Scandinavia or Japan is a viable concept for elsewhere unless explicitly tested elsewhere.

No country's alike, and no system can be copied naively.

It wasn't even really tested in Finland, just some aspects. A pilot scheme which is understood by the participants to be temporary does not induce anything like the same incentives as a real UBI implementation.
