The countries where they are already trying to start up parties are 
usually very concerned with it, and I've had most of the accounts from 
people I've met while travelling. Let's hope this attempt is more 
successful or we could also ask people outside Pirate Parties?

I could get you the lead points I've memorized from some of the 
countries I've visited.

Edvinas can provide much more detail than me on Lithuania, but I got the 
feeling there that they need 1000 signatures collected at an offline 
event, basically amounting to having a very big gathering of 
signatorees. In the UK, I remember signatures, but can't remember how 
many. I recall the bureaucracy not being very bad. Lithuania had lots of 
bureaucracy and even for a standard NGO you can't form one without 
having a commercially qualified accountant (expensive!!).

Joonas will have more info about Finland, and the only thing I remember 
from there is that the number of votes you need to get in varies widely 
between circuits.
