In the case of Finland, the conscript test score data requires also a separate permit from the Finnish Defense Forces (although this data is also accessible at Statistics Finland).
CountryCode/Finland/ and CountryCode/Norway contain the codes used to process the original individual level data. These codes produced the public data tables at Input/Finland/and Input/Norway/ respectively. See the readme-files in these directories for more information.
