Finland has 5 million people. I am pretty sure there are existing plants in the world that could satisfy the entire country if moved to Finland. There are 10ish dams that produce over 10k MW

Finland is an entire country, but it also has a population smaller than Toronto or Dallas.

This is if you count the Greater Toronto Area and the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex respectively, to be clear (Finland has five and a half million inhabitants).
