Finland

Finland is a democratic republic with a semi-presidential system and parliamentarism. Finland was previously part of the Swedish kingdom and later an autonomous Duchy in the Russian Empire, until it declared its independence on December 6, 1917. Finland is ranked 11th on the 2006 United Nations Human Development Index.

Finland is divided into the following provinces :

  1. — the southern stretch of coastline up to the Russian border, including the capital and the historical province of Uusimaa
  2. — the coastal areas, the old capital , Finland's number two city and the southern parts of the historical province of Ostrobothnia (, ).
  3. — forests and lakes by the Russian border, including Savonia
  4. — Kajanaland and northern Ostrobothnia, named after the technology city of
  5. — tundra and reindeer above the Arctic Circle
  6. — an autonomous and monolingually group of islands off the southwestern coast of Finland

While a convenient and unambiguous bureaucratic division, the provinces do not really correspond to geographical or cultural boundaries very well. Other terms you may hear include Tavastia , covering a large area of central Finland around Tampere, and Karelia to the far east, the bulk of which was lost to the Soviet Union in World War II (still a sore topic in some circles).
