Finland, officially the Republic of Finland, is a Nordic country situated in the 
Scandinavian region of northern Europe. 

It has borders with Sweden to the west, Russia to the east, and Norway to the north, 
while Estonia lies to its south across the Gulf of Finland. 

The capital city is Helsinki.

Around 5.3 million people reside in Finland, with the majority concentrated in the 
southern part of country.

It is the eighth largest country in Europe in terms of area and the most sparsely 
populated country in the European Union. 

Most Finns are native in Finnish, which is related to Estonian and is one of the 
few official EU languages not of Indo-European origin. 

The other national language, Swedish, is spoken natively by 5.5 percent of the population.

Finland is a democratic, parliamentary republic with a central government and 
local governments in 415 municipalities. 

Greater Helsinki (including Helsinki, Espoo, and Vantaa) totals a million residents and a 
third of the GDP. 

Other major cities include Tampere, Turku, and Oulu.

Finland was historically part of Sweden and from 1809 an autonomous Grand Duchy 
within the Russian Empire. 

Finland's declaration of independence in 1917 from Russia was followed by a civil war, 
wars against the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany, and a period of official neutrality 
during the Cold War. 

Finland joined the European Union in 1995 and participates in the Eurozone. 

Today, Finland is ranked the second most stable country in the world, based on social, 
economic, political, and military indicators.

Finland has seen excellent results in many international comparisons of national 
performance such as the share of high-technology manufacturing, the rate of 
gross domestic product growth, and the protection of civil liberties.
