I1, if I had to pick one.
Finland is a good proof for I1, actually the best.
If it is I1,
the three most germanic countries would be: 1.Sweden 2.Norway 3.Finland.
Hotspot: eastern Norway + western Sweden.
If it R-U106,
the three most germanic countries would be: 1.Netherlands 2.Luxembourg 3.UK
Hospot: Netherlands + Friesland, Tournai's area and greater Luxembourg.
R-U106 is older than meta-ethnicites, it is "Doggerlander" y-dna which is why it is more common in Netherlands and reaching into Britain.

And for those that dont know, the Finnish I1 is old, the regions are 100% Finnish speaking and have been since 300-500AD
Germanics are highly associated as a fairly even meshing of "Old Europe" and Indo-European Europe. Finland might be Finnic speaking, but it isn't entirely of Siberian-stock...it will be still much moreso so-called "Mesolithic Euro". and this subclade of "I" is very Mesolithic.
