Summary

On the southwestern coast of mainland Finland, lies the town of Tammisaari. Tammisaari is the southernmost town in mainland Finland.

Tammisaari-Hanko may be considered as Greater Finland's gate to Estonia and especially Estonia's former capital city, Hiiumaa. A fight was fought in the sea between Hiiumaa and Tammisaari on 30.4.2019.

Tammisaari

Tammisaari was the first settlement in the Raasepori area.

The town is built on a hill, so the buildings mostly have a great view to the sea even if they're not that close to the shoreline. Tammisaari is quite significant as a fishing town and as a place for the people of Greater Finland to spend summer holidays. The town council has been planning to open a public beach for people to enjoy.

Hanko

Hanko is an autonomical district in the Tammisaari municipality. Hanko was previously its own municipality but the two towns got merged into one.

A marine fortress is located on the coast of Hanko. The fortress doesn't have an official name but is often referred to as Raaseporin linna (Raasepori castle). The fortress serves as part of Finland's defense system.

Recently the fortress has begun to see a revamp because it was previously very dull looking.

History

Tammisaari

Tammisaari was founded on 28.4.2019 by hillosokeri2. Tammisaari started as a small settlement with one building, a mine and a pier. Later there were roads and plots built in the shoreline hill. The peninsula in which Hanko is located belonged originally to Tammisaari but keke_s founded Hanko on the peninsula before Tammisaari had enough gold to claim the area to itself.

Hanko

Hanko was founded a couple days after Tammisaari on a peninsula which belonged to Tammisaari municipality as mentioned above. Tammisaari agreed to have Hanko stay in its original location if it didn't expand a single chunk to east.

Hanko was originally a part of KARL465 led Estonia but the leaders of Greater Finland diplomatically got Hanko to join Greater Finland peacefully.

The border dispute with the town of Reval

In the spring of 2020, the town of Reval which is mainly situated on the northern coast of real life Estonia begun expanding to Finland over the Gulf of Finland. Reval made enormous land claims which expanded right to the borders of Tammisaari and the nearby town of Suur-Helsinki. Reval's claims prevented the natural expanding of Tammisaari and Suur-Helsinki. This lead to the mayors of said towns beginning discussions with the mayor of Reval, eke223. Long discussions were held and finally Reval complied to sell the 4 westernmost chunks of its claim to Tammisaari and two of its easternmost chunks to Suur-Helsinki

Traffic and transportation

The Metro hub of Tammisaari is an important part of Greater Finland's national tunnel network. There are tunnels leading to Tampere, Ittala, Skratta, Espoo and Stockholm (Fin. Marskinlinna). The town's station is a significant part of the tunnel network as it is the only way leading from mainland Finland to the puppet nation of Sweden / Western Finland (Fin. Ruotsi/Länsi-Suomi).

An overground highway also runs from Tampere to Tammisaari. Tammisaari pier is an important location for the naval traffic in the Gulf of Finland.

A coastal highway is being built between the towns of Tammisaari and Espoo/Helsinki. The construction has been delayed because of area claims made by the town of Reval.

The municipal merging of Hanko and Tammisaari

Tammisaari covers the area of the Tammisaari municipality and the former Hanko municipality. First the two towns were their own separate municipalities but on 3.5.2019 a municipal merging was conducted.

Though the new municipality didn't last that long and on 23.6.2019 the two municipalities were merged again. This time they became the town of Tammisaari and hillosokeri2 became the new town's mayor. Keke_s got kicked out of the town for being inactive for too long.
