}}'''Greater Finland''' (Finnish:'' Suur-Suomi'') is a nation located in Northern Europe. It is geographically located in real life Finland, but the EarthMC version of Finland has a greater size than its real life counterpart, hence being named Greater Finland. It was established on April 26, 2019, and has a population of 44 as of September 18. Finland also owns [[Sweden]] as a colonial state.

=== Early history ===
 
It all started when [[Ippez]] put idea of establishing Suur-Suomi (Greater Finland) to r/Suomi in Reddit, and some people gained enough interest in the server to start putting plans for Greater Finland in effect. The project started with the founding of [[Kekkoslinna]], and more towns joined over time. Before the nation was officially founded these towns organized on a discord server. The founders of [[Kekkoslinna]] assumed administrative and moderation duties with [[angryaxi]] holding the ceremonial title of president as the mayor of [[Kekkoslinna]].

=== Founding of the nation ===
[[Jyväskylä]]
The nation was founded on the 26th of April, 2019 after a collective effort to meet the sky-high cost associated with founding a new nation. The founders of [[Kekkoslinna]] were the initial people in power with [[Juuzoz_]] holding the title of president and the others taking the roles of chancellors. As more towns joined the nation, the mayors of [[Tampere]] ([[MM1kael]]) and [[Vaasa]] ([[S1s1l1sko]]) (the second and third largest towns at the time) were also granted the roles of chancellors in an effort to decentralize power away from [[Kekkoslinna]].
(Oct 23 2020 - Mar 09 2021)
===The War against [[Turan]]===
The war started when people of [[Turan]], a Turkish town in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kola_Peninsula Kola Peninsula] began to grief towns in Finland, prompting the citizens of [[Vaasa]] to attack [[Turan]] in retaliation. Finns crawled from all over the nation and joined the fight, growing the conflict from a minor skirmish into a war. The Turks had never managed to cause proper casualties, and many Finns considered the Turks to be more of a loose terrorist organization, rather than a proper army. The Finnish Discord group even had a good laugh when a screenshot of the death logs was sent, where one of the Turkish soldiers had managed to fall down a cliff and die before one of the fights even started.
The war was supposed to end on 28 April, with [[Turan]] promising to pay the Finns war reparations and accepting the annexation of [[Turan]] into Greater Finland. However, the next day they refused to follow through with any of their promises and the war continued, although there were no more battles. The town of Turan finally disbanded on 10 July.


=== The Orange Tide ===
[[Turku]]
On the 28th of April, a follow up thread was made to the same r/suomi subreddit where the idea for Greater Finland had started about two weeks earlier. The thread quickly gained popularity, and reached 1.1k upvotes. The people of Greater Finland were hopeful for new members, but what happened surpassed everyone's expectations. Huge masses of Finnish Redditors were inspired enough by the post to come on the server, which resulted in Greater Finland becoming the fastest growing nation on the server. The capital [[Kekkoslinna]] overflew with new recruits, and the population cap was quickly reached. The population cap of [[Tampere]] was also filled soon after. The global chat was bombarded by Finnish messages, because most of the people were unaware of townchat and private messages. This resulted in the admins having to mute dozens of Finns, as the members of Greater Finland were apologizing and trying their best to deal with the influx of new members. The tide eventually slowed down and stopped entirely, but had already succeeded in making Finland one of the biggest nations on the server, at least population-wise.
(Mar 09 2021 - Apr 17 2021)
}}'''Finland '''is a nation in Northern Europe that was founded on January 1st, 2020. It is ruled by King Emerald_tip.


=== The Tampere Crisis ===
== Geography ==
When the Factions map was released to the public on 24 May, many Finns eagerly flocked over, hoping to finally get a taste of real pvp after the sad excuse for warfare that Towny has. Gold was gathered, a base was built and the faction was ready to be made. [[MM1kael]], the leader of Tampere over at the towny server decided that he wanted to be the leader. No-one minded, seeing as [[MM1kael]] was already a chancellor on towny. There had been incidents with [[MM1kael]] before, including an attempt to claim over [[Hautakylä]], a fellow Finnish town and blocking the ice tunnels below [[Tampere]] for no good reason. However, people were aware of [[MM1kael]]'s young age and thought nothing of it.
Finland is located in Northern Europe, in the real life country that gave its namesake. Most of the towns in the nation are situated in real-life Finland, although the nation used to have some towns in Sweden, though these were seized to [[Sweden]] due to [[The Kiruna Treaty]]. The previous capital [[Jyväskylä]] was and still is located in the middle of Finland.


Not understanding how Factions work, [[MM1kael]] had claimed an enormous chunk of land for the sole reason of being big, despite the horrible strain it put on Finland's faction power. People would start fighting and arguing over it, with [[MM1kael]] not bringing up any proper arguments, but still refusing to do anything because he was the leader. Everything calmed down after a while, and all seemed OK until [[S1s1l1sko]] decided to start arguing with [[MM1kael]] once again. This time [[MM1kael]] kicked [[S1s1l1sko]] off the faction, and killed him. As soon as this happened, the other members of the faction realized that giving [[MM1kael]] leadership was not a good idea. Other members of the faction immediately started planning a revolution in voice chat, and it ended up happening about an hour after [[S1s1l1sko]] was kicked out.
== History ==
Riftal started planning the nation on the 26th of November 2019. He was at the time the mayor of Visby, of the Kalmar Union ([[Sweden]]), but left the town with the intention of starting his own nation in Finland, which would be a state of the Greater Kalmar Union. He made the town of Ozhattan (today Jyväskylä) which joined the Kalmar Union. Riftal started to save up gold to create his nation.


Everything was taken from the base, and when inventories were full, they burned down most of the chests and items left behind. The bulk of the Finnish population had an exodus to the island of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotland Gotland], where they still reside. Discussion started on the Finnish discord, and everyone was in mutual agreement that this had gone too far. A new leader would be chosen for Factions-Finland, and that would be it. The town of [[Vaasa]] had effectively died, because [[MM1kael]] fabricated an IP ban for [[S1s1l1sko]] as a revenge for the revolution. [[MM1kael]] claimed to have made false hack reports of everyone who was a part of Finland, even people who had nothing to do with the revolution, but [[S1s1l1sko]] was the only one to be banned.
Noveritsch, the mayor of NeoTropolis (later Vehnätila), was also saving gold for a dominion under the Kalmar Union. On December 31, he was suddenly kicked from Kalmar Union and all his properties in the nation were seized, including a massive PVP arena in the center of Nya Asgard. Because of this event, Noveritsch donated all 600 gold he had saved up to Riftal in exchange for getting chancellor role in the new nation. Finland was made the following day, being the first nation of the new decade.


The next day [[MM1kael]] saw the Faction on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotland Gotland], and decided to appoint himself the only rightful ruler of the Finnish faction. Arguments began on the Finnish discord once again, as [[MM1kael]] thought that the other Finland would be a rival to his "rightful" Finland, when in reality it was a temporary faction, only to be used until the leadership issue was sorted out. He started killing everyone and ended up trying to blow up the new Finnish base with TNT. Arguments started, and in the end, [[MM1kael]] was declared a traitor to Finland and kicked off, even in Towny on May 27. [[Tampere]] joined [[Terra Mariana]] shortly after, and a war against Finland was being planned.
On 23 January 2020, Finland declared independence from the Greater Kalmar Union. On 2 February, Finland was accepted into [[The Northern Lights Alliance]] after 2 failed attempts.


However, [[MM1kael]] never wanted this on Towny because he felt that Factions and Towny are two separate entities, and you shouldn't be judged on both for something that you do in one of them. Long discussions were held, and the leaders came to a fitting conclusion; [[MM1kael]] would join Finland, and stay as the mayor of [[Tampere]] because he built most of it, but he would not be let back into the high council of Greater Finland.
The nation of Ruotsi left Greater Finland and joined Finland as a colony on 2 March. On 28 March it left and became the nation of [[Stockholm]].


Finland joined the [[Central Powers]] on 18 May. On 25 May, ahead of the nation's first elections, Noveritsch stepped down as chancellor. The elections were held between 28 May and 29 May. MaxFI was elected the Prime Minister, AzFreeze the Minister of Defence, hillosokeri2 the Minister of Infrastructure and 0sku the Minister of Affairs.


As of 28.5, [[MM1kael]] is back in Greater Finland, and all drama has been left behind, with even [[S1s1l1sko]] being unbanned. [[MM1kael]] is still hostile to Finland in Factions, but no-one takes it personally, thinking of it as more of a friendly rivalry
On June 14 2020, Riftal decided to step down as the king of Finland. 0sku, the then-Minister of Affairs, was chosen as the new king and the capital was moved to [[Suur-Helsinki]]. As Riftal also moved out from the nation, the town of Jyväskylä was transferred to AzFreeze. Sir_Lewanlot was chosen as the new Minister of Affairs.


=== The fall of Sweden ===
On the next day, Finland was accepted to the [[Union of Atlantic States]] after many failed attempts to join.
"[[Wextra]], the king of [[sweden]] is banned btw" Was announced one day. People were mildly enjoyed about it, but didn't really think much of it, figuring that the nation, already dying due to inactivity would fall into pieces soon enough. That was, until people started talking about the algorithm that chooses new mayors for a town, once inactivity kicks off the last one. Apparently not too long ago, the leadership of [[Kaiserreich]] had been given to the newest member of [[Neu_Berlin]], and people were rather confused as to why this happened. After some thinking, the brightest heads of Greater Finland (IQ 75+) figured that the leadership would be given to either the newest member, or alternatively the one who had been last online. A collective light bulb was lit above the heads of Greater Finland, and [[JHdash77]] decided to join the city of [[Turku]], while [[MM1kael]], the mayor of Tampere joined [[Stockholm]] itself, both being Swedish cities at the time.


A few days passed, with everyone nervously waiting to see if their theory about the algorithm had been correct. Instead of JHdash77, [[Turku]] was passed to a newcomer SateenkaariMursu, who apparently joined the city as a way to teleport to Finland, as Turku was one of the only open cities in the area. However, he left Sweden and joined Greater Finland, and sold the city to [[mr_emppu708]], the mayor of [[Super-Alko]] in order to join the new town of [[Peräjärvi]].
Because of 0sku's real-life duties, he was forced to resign as the king of Finland. On July 6, he gave the nation to back to Riftal, who acted as the earl, with the role of king in game. On July 22, Riftal left the nation and transferred the role to Noveritsch, who in turn gave the leadership to J1K on the same day, transferring the capital to Helsinki. 0sku later abolished the position of earl, making J1K officially the king of Finland.


Then, in the evening (Finnish time) on 14 June 2019, the ownership of [[Stockholm]], and the entirety of [[Sweden]] was switched over to [[MM1kael]]. The plan had succeeded! Finns raced towards Sweden, looting everything and anything they could get their hands on. The flag of Sweden overlooking Stockholm was burned down, and [[WextraMC]], the past king, was being harassed on Discord by overjoyed Finns. [[Sweden]] is currently a [[Finland|Finnish]] puppet, and the high council of [[Finland|Greater Finland]] is deciding what to do with the broken husk they now call a colony.
On October 10th 2020, tensions rose between Finland and Austria when a town fairly south of Finland was said to be part of Austrian territory. The following day after escalating tensions, the two declared war on each other. The Austrians were backed by the Syndicate and the Finnish had few allies. Eventually the town voluntarily left and drew a tie to the conflict without any soldiers being sent from either sides. The main result of the conflict was the Finland leaving the UAS.


=== The Flames Extinquished ===
After being forced out of the UAS, the popularity of J1K started to waver. After internal pressure from within the nation, he was forced to abdicate, and gave his throne back to Noveritsch on the 23rd of October.  
<nowiki/>Many countries on EMC fall because of the long queue times, laggy server, arguably poor ownership and a general lack of interest because of the lack of a proper war plugin, and Finland was no exception. The conquering of [[Sweden|Stockholm]] was the last major event of '''Greater Finland''', after which the nation steadily declined. Some minor diplomatic events were held with [[Terra Mariana]], but as most of '''Finland''' still had negative, and perhaps even racist views toward the country despite [[Juuzoz_]]'s efforts to force peace and friendship down everyone's throats, seeing as wars were useless because of the lack of a proper war plugin, these would not be enough to retain Finland's interest in the game. Day by day, more and more inactive players were automatically booted from their respective towns, after which the very cities that once upheld the might of the Finnish Empire started disbanding. The community of the nation is still strong, with most members of '''Greater Finland''' moving onto a new Towny server created by [[Juuzoz_]] himself, PohjolaMC.  


A few stalwart Finns still continue playing to this day, but it is safe to say that '''Finland''' burned brightly but quickly, and is nearly extinquished. A public vote was held on when the new elections should be held, and the vast majority voted to just suspend them entirely. [[Juuzoz_]] Is still believed to come online every once in a while in order to deal with diplomatic affairs, and the ex Prime Minister of the country, [[0sku]], still plays on the server but has abandoned '''Greater''' '''Finland, '''but will never forget his roots, keeping with him the maps of every '''Finnish''' Major city, decorating his home with them. Because of Finland's isolationism, the majority of the server probably never even realized just how huge the country was at it's peak, on par with countries like [[Britain]] and [[Qin]], but in all honestly we preferred it that way.  
Noveritsch, immediately after assuming the Finnish throne, declared war on Sweden. This caused a major war between Finland and the UAS. (Sweden, Terra Mariana, Russia). After major battles in the towns of Jyväskylä, Helsinki and Kekkoslinna, Finland defeated the other armies with the help of their allies.  


We had fun, but it is time to move on now.  
Despite the recent successes, Noveritsch was not interested in keeping the nation, intending on forming a new one in Lapland. He was planning on taking Jyväskylä and some northern finnish towns with him, as well as making an alliance with the the finnish enemy at the time, Terra Mariana. Noveritsch initially promised to give the nation to Riftal, who was returning to the server. But after secret discussions with some of the ministers in the nation, the finnish nation was instead given to Juuzoz_. Noveritsch's plan was to make Finlands position weaker compared to the new nation he was forming in Northern Finland. Juuzoz_ was supposed to steer Finland into the sphere of Noveritsch's influence.


== Government Style ==
Noveritsch gave Juuzoz_ the leadership of the capital, (Jyväskylä) and with it the nation. The plan was to transfer the capital to Kekkoslinna, and then give Jyväskylä back to Noveritsch. Juuzoz_ then betrayed Noveritsch, deciding not to give the town back, as it wouldve been otherwise lost from the nation. Juuzoz_ threw Noveritsch out of the nation, announcing that the traitors had been ousted and Finland had been saved from destruction. After losing his town, Noveritsch was exiled to Canada, while Juuzoz_ kept the town and the nation.
The government of Finland consists of a President, accompanied by a cabinet of five Chancellors. The president mainly has a moderator-style role, with some of the more active chancellors working towards improving the country, just like in real life with the president and ministers. Finland has a party system, but this is mainly used for elections. When an election occurs, anyone can either run for office in an existing party, or make their own party if they so wish. The way the party system works is that every vote is given to a party, and the votes a party gets are divided among the party candidates depending on how they rank in the individual votes they get, the first one getting X amount of votes, the second one 1/2 of that, etc. These divided numbers are the numbers that are used when selecting new chancellors. The person who gets the most votes out of everyone is the new president of the country.


A vote of confidence is held after two months, determining whether the next elections will be held immediately or after a month from the vote of confidence.
After becoming the leader of both Finland and Greater Finland, Juuzoz_ declared the unification of the two nations complete.


== Political Parties ==
Ju2nananas then bought the nation, leading to a short burst of activity, soon followed by inactivity.
Greater Finland has four political parties at the moment. Most of these parties have very similar ideas, and get along well. These parties and their ideas were mainly used for election propaganda, and everyone just forgot about all of their promises and kept going just like before after the elections.


'''Kekkospuolue (Kekkonen Party)''' based in [[Kekkoslinna]] has some of the founders of Finland, and is therefore considered the party of the powers that be. It is currently the most popular party, according to the latest elections. They tend to favour a status quo, not leaning towards one side or another, but they do have some ideas, such as aiding smaller towns, helping fund new towns and advocating for a sense of comradery and co-operation between the Finnish cities. Kekkonen Party is against taxation, believing that people should be able to donate willingly if they so wish.
After announcing, that he was quitting the server on the 7th of april, Ju2nananas appointed Emerald_tip to be the heir on the 11th of april. A week later he gave the nation to Emerald, who was officially coronated on the 18th of april. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnlXrq-eyIA Video]


'''Kansallinen Korppipuolue (The National Crows Party) '''is a party based in the city of [[Posio]], and just like [[Posio]] itself, is mainly led by people who are friends with each other in real life. They advocate for a better defense, with each town having their own garrison to defend themselves. They also believe that gold should be saved rather than spent, so that taxing the population never has to be an option. The Crow party does not approve of random acts of violence, and looks down on ganking and random PvP.
== Diplomatic Relations ==


'''Suomalainen Puolue (Finnish Party)''' is what you could call the little man's party. They are fierce believers in the little people, and advocate for decentralization of power and more autonomy and self-governance for each city. They also want to help the smaller towns to grow and prosper, in effect making the entire nation grow. They are against taxation as well.
=== ''[[Japan]]'' ===
On 13 March, Japan and Finland entered a Defensive alliance, with the hope of furthering relations and giving each other a strong alliance in each respective continent. This friendship started with the introduction between [[KawadaJP]], and [[Riftal]]. They were friends previously when Riftal was still part of the Kalmar Union ([[Sweden]]). This friendship between Japan and Finland reignited when Goddess_Sairene and Riftal met through the Map Maker Union.


'''Suomen Kansallinen Sosialistipuolue (Finland's National Socialist Party)''' is a party that has very similar beliefs to it's real life counterpart in Nazi Germany, but has openly sworn against Adolf Hitler's ideas of genocide and racism. They believe in the best parts of both left- and right wing beliefs, with a strong sense of patriotism and loyalty to Finland accompanying a system of socialism where every person is given tools, food and a place they can call home. SKSP has thought about the idea of taxing people their daily vote gold in order to fund this, but this idea has received strong backlash, mostly because the other parties made propaganda posters about how SKSP would "steal" everyone's gold.
=== ''[[Sweden]]'' ===
Finland and Sweden have always had some sort of relationship, seeing as Finland was birthed out of Sweden originally. Majority of the time, Sweden and Finland did not get along for personal drama between: [[Riftal]], [[Noveritsch]], [[LiterallyADonut]] and [[NordicFenris]]. However through the blessings of some deity, they found common ground and established [[Jürgen's Alliance]], named after the event of Riftal and LiterallyADonut migrating Riftal's turtle from [[Nya Asgard]] to [[Jyväskylä]]. Once that was set in stone, they forged a border agreement called [[The Kiruna Treaty]], which was later violated by Finland due to Sweden's inactivity.<blockquote>The circumstances that we face as a nation are dire. New nations will be created, and perhaps turn away from Finland. This may result in the downfall of our country. It is my duty as king of Finland to unite our nation, and build full trust with the citizens. Finland cannot suffocate on powers and perhaps even people, that are lesser than us. As my first act as king of Finland, I declare war on Sweden. The towns of Sweden will return to Finland as they once had in the beginning. And to make riftal happy, it is a priority that we reclaim Visby. E morte ad vitam!            -38 Rotate</blockquote>


'''Marxilainen Suuri Suomi Puolue (MSSP) '''A party that stands for classical communism and a way to build communism according to Marxism on the territory of great Finland. There are also some views from Leninism, following the example of the Leninist Party, in which the bureaucracy will stand out. Promises to try to establish the first stage of Marxism socialism in which there will be some aspects of the old world so far, such as trade and personal property and it also promises to reduce taxes and build collective farms where the farms will be integrated into a collective farm where workers can grow wheat together.
=== [[Terra Mariana|''Terra Mariana'']] ===
The relations of Finland and Terra Mariana are hindered by the land claims of eke223's town Reval. Reval has claimed the area of Porkkala from Southern Finland. The former mayor of the town, emmettaaron, built a bridge to Finland, along which eke later claimed and gradually continued to Finland in late 2019. The claims were not well received by the people of Finland, as the area was quite large and had nothing built in it except the bridge and some dug up parts of a mountain. Tensions really started to take place as the town of Suur-Helsinki was established in April 2020. Eke's areas greatly limited the expansion of the town, although Reval made some border agreements with Suur-Helsinki and Tammisaari. Only after this point, eke has started construction on this area, building a wall and doing some larger terraforming. On 26 May, as eke was starting to build the wall, some residents of Suur-Helsinki started staring at him. This seemed to worry eke and the legendary Great Staring Battle began. More people from both Finland and Terra Mariana joined and in the end, a total of 10 people were in the battle. Most people in Finland don't accept eke's claim, although some think it's rightful as eke didn't have any more land to claim in Estonia.


== Military ==
Around early May, the former king of Terra Mariana, TommyJ2 became the mayor of Ahvaland, a town located in the Åland Islands. The town was officially neutral, but clearly associated with Terra Mariana, as another former king, Egga_ was frequently seen visiting the town and had embassies there. On May 22, Ahvaland joined Terra Mariana and claimed the town of Turku. This along with the Reval situation even caused theories that Terra Mariana might be planning a war against Finland. However, the king of the nation, nicosecci, kicked the town out in order to not make relations with Finland worse. Egga and Tommy were not happy about this and made a case against nicosecci in the national court on May 23, claiming that kicking the town forcefully violated the constitution. Egga and Tommy ended up winning the case, but as the Royal Councillors didn't find nicosecci guilty, he didn't end up getting a proper punishment, as Egga would have hoped. On May 25, he made a statement saying that Justice and God had died under Terra Mariana's system and that he would be leaving the nation. Egga's town of Arensburg (the former long-time capital of the nation) as well as Ahvaland joined Finland on the same day.
[[Sir_Lewanlot]] is the current leader of the Greater Finnish Army, holding the unofficial title of generalissimo. Most of the Finnish population considers themselves ready for PvP whenever the situation demands it, but there is a special "conscript" rank for anyone who is bloodthirsty and patriotic enough. They will be pinged on discord as soon as they are needed, and will come online as soon as possible. There are 10-20 conscripts, and any conscript who has a queue skip is given the special rank of "Pikajääkäri", all of them being ready to strike at a moment's notice.

=== ''[[Lapland]]'' ===
Lapland and Finland have a complicated relationship, having experienced a long history of attempted secessions, colonization efforts, and soured relations. At first, Lapland was merely a name for the northern region of Finland, but as Finland began making colonization efforts in the North, Lapland began to grow in population and influence. As mentioned before, the original concept of a sovereign Lapish state came from Noveritsch, who intended to create a rival Finnish state in the north. Noveritsch's coup failed, however, and dreams of a sovereign Lapland were quickly dashed.


[[File:Kekkoslinna.png|thumb|left|350px|The Castle of Kekkoslinna]]
A few months later, Finnish resident Aghastblock established a town called Finnish_Inquis deep within Lapland. Other future notable Lapish towns include Kingsland, Pankikland, and Finnmark, which were established by [[_Cj__]], [[Pancat_the_King]], and PrimeCyber, respectively. As the North continued to grow, tensions began to arise between the Southern-based Finnish monarchy, headed by King Emerald_Tip, and the Northern-based Finnish Ministry, headed by Prime Minister Cj. On August 18th, 2021, the-now-former-Prime-Minister Cj and now-former-Minister-of-foreign-affairs Pancat_the_king declared independence from Finland, forming the nation of Suomi and taking the towns of Jyvlaska, Pankikland, and Kingsland with them. At the same time, Clergyman Aghastblock also declared independence from Finland, creating the new Republic of Lapland. This event is known as The Great Northern Secession.

Following the ruin of Kingsland and its reformation into the new Finnish_Inquis, Suomi would be absorbed by Lapland and operate as a semi-independent state. It is important to note that throughout this event Finnish King Emerald_tip declared his intent to retain friendly relations with the new states. Things remained relatively peaceful until December of 2021, when President Aghastblock declared war on Finland, citing finnish harassment of Lapish mayors, border encroachments, and the scamming of 150 gold at Aghastblock's expense. As of yet, this war has had no decisive outcome, and there have been no official battles on either side. Most of the conflict has been centered in Pankikland, where a claim dispute has arisen over the ruins of Posio between the new town of Ranua and Pankikland. Recently, several Lapish and Finnish leaders have expressed their desire to peacefully reuinite North and South, however no official diplomatic attempts have been made to achieve such a thing. At the moment, the two countries remain at war, with a strong mutual distaste between the two fueling the conflict.<blockquote>It is ironic, sad even, that Finland's deadliest enemy ended up being itself. Perhaps it was always destined to be this way, ever since Noveritsch declared his intent to create a rival finish state within Lapland. The legacy of Finland will be decided by this conflict, and I supremely hope that the kinship of brothers prevails over man's boundless hatred. -Pancat_the_King </blockquote>

This is the Fallen Kingdom recreation in the former capital [[Jyväskylä]], built by Chancellor Noveritsch. It was finished on March 3rd, the same day the Expansion Age began. Later on Noveritsch griefed the castle. The castle was renovated by Emerald_tip and officially reopened on the day of his coronation.

This is the SpaceX BFR, or SpaceX Big Fucking Rocket. It was built by Noveritsch, as he has a big interest in space and aeronautics. It was also griefed by him.

]]
*[[angryaxi]] was the founder and the first mayor of [[Kekkoslinna]], but stepped down when the nation was founded.
*[[MM1kael]] "The Martyr of [[Turan]]", was killed during a lone recon mission during [[The Third Battle of Turan]]. He is also the mayor and founder of [[Tampere]]. [[MM1kael]] was the first official traitor of Greater Finland and due to this he and [[Tampere]] were kicked out of the nation on 27 May.

MM1kael also became the king of Sweden, which became a Finnish puppet. See details on "The fall of Sweden".
*[[Juuzoz_]] is the first president with a more than ceremonial title and the current president. He was also one of the founders of [[Kekkoslinna]]. After a public vote on 10th of July, elections were suspended, and Juuzoz_ would become the "Kekkonen" of Finland.
*[[0sku]] was the self-proclaimed Prime Minister of [[Greater Finland]] for a long time, almost making it to presidency but both him and [[Juuzoz_]]  got the exact same amount of votes, deciding together to let [[Juuzoz_]] stay as he was already the sitting president. He was also the leader of [[Super-Alko]], a fortress created in the middle of [[Terra Mariana]] land, however he disbanded the town on 13.8.2019, abandoned Greater Finland entirely and is now traveling the EMC world with [[Sir_Lewanlot]].

Finland is a nation in Northern Europe that was founded on January 1st, 2020. It is ruled by King Emerald_tip.

Geography

Finland is located in Northern Europe, in the real life country that gave its namesake. Most of the towns in the nation are situated in real-life Finland, although the nation used to have some towns in Sweden, though these were seized to Sweden due to The Kiruna Treaty. The previous capital Jyväskylä was and still is located in the middle of Finland.

History

Riftal started planning the nation on the 26th of November 2019. He was at the time the mayor of Visby, of the Kalmar Union (Sweden), but left the town with the intention of starting his own nation in Finland, which would be a state of the Greater Kalmar Union. He made the town of Ozhattan (today Jyväskylä) which joined the Kalmar Union. Riftal started to save up gold to create his nation.

Noveritsch, the mayor of NeoTropolis (later Vehnätila), was also saving gold for a dominion under the Kalmar Union. On December 31, he was suddenly kicked from Kalmar Union and all his properties in the nation were seized, including a massive PVP arena in the center of Nya Asgard. Because of this event, Noveritsch donated all 600 gold he had saved up to Riftal in exchange for getting chancellor role in the new nation. Finland was made the following day, being the first nation of the new decade.

On 23 January 2020, Finland declared independence from the Greater Kalmar Union. On 2 February, Finland was accepted into The Northern Lights Alliance after 2 failed attempts.

The nation of Ruotsi left Greater Finland and joined Finland as a colony on 2 March. On 28 March it left and became the nation of Stockholm.

Finland joined the Central Powers on 18 May. On 25 May, ahead of the nation's first elections, Noveritsch stepped down as chancellor. The elections were held between 28 May and 29 May. MaxFI was elected the Prime Minister, AzFreeze the Minister of Defence, hillosokeri2 the Minister of Infrastructure and 0sku the Minister of Affairs.

On June 14 2020, Riftal decided to step down as the king of Finland. 0sku, the then-Minister of Affairs, was chosen as the new king and the capital was moved to Suur-Helsinki. As Riftal also moved out from the nation, the town of Jyväskylä was transferred to AzFreeze. Sir_Lewanlot was chosen as the new Minister of Affairs.

On the next day, Finland was accepted to the Union of Atlantic States after many failed attempts to join.

Because of 0sku's real-life duties, he was forced to resign as the king of Finland. On July 6, he gave the nation to back to Riftal, who acted as the earl, with the role of king in game. On July 22, Riftal left the nation and transferred the role to Noveritsch, who in turn gave the leadership to J1K on the same day, transferring the capital to Helsinki. 0sku later abolished the position of earl, making J1K officially the king of Finland.

On October 10th 2020, tensions rose between Finland and Austria when a town fairly south of Finland was said to be part of Austrian territory. The following day after escalating tensions, the two declared war on each other. The Austrians were backed by the Syndicate and the Finnish had few allies. Eventually the town voluntarily left and drew a tie to the conflict without any soldiers being sent from either sides. The main result of the conflict was the Finland leaving the UAS.

After being forced out of the UAS, the popularity of J1K started to waver. After internal pressure from within the nation, he was forced to abdicate, and gave his throne back to Noveritsch on the 23rd of October.

Noveritsch, immediately after assuming the Finnish throne, declared war on Sweden. This caused a major war between Finland and the UAS. (Sweden, Terra Mariana, Russia). After major battles in the towns of Jyväskylä, Helsinki and Kekkoslinna, Finland defeated the other armies with the help of their allies.

Despite the recent successes, Noveritsch was not interested in keeping the nation, intending on forming a new one in Lapland. He was planning on taking Jyväskylä and some northern finnish towns with him, as well as making an alliance with the the finnish enemy at the time, Terra Mariana. Noveritsch initially promised to give the nation to Riftal, who was returning to the server. But after secret discussions with some of the ministers in the nation, the finnish nation was instead given to Juuzoz_. Noveritsch's plan was to make Finlands position weaker compared to the new nation he was forming in Northern Finland. Juuzoz_ was supposed to steer Finland into the sphere of Noveritsch's influence.

Noveritsch gave Juuzoz_ the leadership of the capital, (Jyväskylä) and with it the nation. The plan was to transfer the capital to Kekkoslinna, and then give Jyväskylä back to Noveritsch. Juuzoz_ then betrayed Noveritsch, deciding not to give the town back, as it wouldve been otherwise lost from the nation. Juuzoz_ threw Noveritsch out of the nation, announcing that the traitors had been ousted and Finland had been saved from destruction. After losing his town, Noveritsch was exiled to Canada, while Juuzoz_ kept the town and the nation.

After becoming the leader of both Finland and Greater Finland, Juuzoz_ declared the unification of the two nations complete.

Ju2nananas then bought the nation, leading to a short burst of activity, soon followed by inactivity.

After announcing, that he was quitting the server on the 7th of april, Ju2nananas appointed Emerald_tip to be the heir on the 11th of april. A week later he gave the nation to Emerald, who was officially coronated on the 18th of april. Video

Diplomatic Relations

Japan

On 13 March, Japan and Finland entered a Defensive alliance, with the hope of furthering relations and giving each other a strong alliance in each respective continent. This friendship started with the introduction between KawadaJP, and Riftal. They were friends previously when Riftal was still part of the Kalmar Union (Sweden). This friendship between Japan and Finland reignited when Goddess_Sairene and Riftal met through the Map Maker Union.

Sweden

Finland and Sweden have always had some sort of relationship, seeing as Finland was birthed out of Sweden originally. Majority of the time, Sweden and Finland did not get along for personal drama between: Riftal, Noveritsch, LiterallyADonut and NordicFenris. However through the blessings of some deity, they found common ground and established Jürgen's Alliance, named after the event of Riftal and LiterallyADonut migrating Riftal's turtle from Nya Asgard to Jyväskylä. Once that was set in stone, they forged a border agreement called The Kiruna Treaty, which was later violated by Finland due to Sweden's inactivity.

The circumstances that we face as a nation are dire. New nations will be created, and perhaps turn away from Finland. This may result in the downfall of our country. It is my duty as king of Finland to unite our nation, and build full trust with the citizens. Finland cannot suffocate on powers and perhaps even people, that are lesser than us. As my first act as king of Finland, I declare war on Sweden. The towns of Sweden will return to Finland as they once had in the beginning. And to make riftal happy, it is a priority that we reclaim Visby. E morte ad vitam! -38 Rotate

Terra Mariana

The relations of Finland and Terra Mariana are hindered by the land claims of eke223's town Reval. Reval has claimed the area of Porkkala from Southern Finland. The former mayor of the town, emmettaaron, built a bridge to Finland, along which eke later claimed and gradually continued to Finland in late 2019. The claims were not well received by the people of Finland, as the area was quite large and had nothing built in it except the bridge and some dug up parts of a mountain. Tensions really started to take place as the town of Suur-Helsinki was established in April 2020. Eke's areas greatly limited the expansion of the town, although Reval made some border agreements with Suur-Helsinki and Tammisaari. Only after this point, eke has started construction on this area, building a wall and doing some larger terraforming. On 26 May, as eke was starting to build the wall, some residents of Suur-Helsinki started staring at him. This seemed to worry eke and the legendary Great Staring Battle began. More people from both Finland and Terra Mariana joined and in the end, a total of 10 people were in the battle. Most people in Finland don't accept eke's claim, although some think it's rightful as eke didn't have any more land to claim in Estonia.

Around early May, the former king of Terra Mariana, TommyJ2 became the mayor of Ahvaland, a town located in the Åland Islands. The town was officially neutral, but clearly associated with Terra Mariana, as another former king, Egga_ was frequently seen visiting the town and had embassies there. On May 22, Ahvaland joined Terra Mariana and claimed the town of Turku. This along with the Reval situation even caused theories that Terra Mariana might be planning a war against Finland. However, the king of the nation, nicosecci, kicked the town out in order to not make relations with Finland worse. Egga and Tommy were not happy about this and made a case against nicosecci in the national court on May 23, claiming that kicking the town forcefully violated the constitution. Egga and Tommy ended up winning the case, but as the Royal Councillors didn't find nicosecci guilty, he didn't end up getting a proper punishment, as Egga would have hoped. On May 25, he made a statement saying that Justice and God had died under Terra Mariana's system and that he would be leaving the nation. Egga's town of Arensburg (the former long-time capital of the nation) as well as Ahvaland joined Finland on the same day.

Lapland

Lapland and Finland have a complicated relationship, having experienced a long history of attempted secessions, colonization efforts, and soured relations. At first, Lapland was merely a name for the northern region of Finland, but as Finland began making colonization efforts in the North, Lapland began to grow in population and influence. As mentioned before, the original concept of a sovereign Lapish state came from Noveritsch, who intended to create a rival Finnish state in the north. Noveritsch's coup failed, however, and dreams of a sovereign Lapland were quickly dashed.

A few months later, Finnish resident Aghastblock established a town called Finnish_Inquis deep within Lapland. Other future notable Lapish towns include Kingsland, Pankikland, and Finnmark, which were established by _Cj__, Pancat_the_King, and PrimeCyber, respectively. As the North continued to grow, tensions began to arise between the Southern-based Finnish monarchy, headed by King Emerald_Tip, and the Northern-based Finnish Ministry, headed by Prime Minister Cj. On August 18th, 2021, the-now-former-Prime-Minister Cj and now-former-Minister-of-foreign-affairs Pancat_the_king declared independence from Finland, forming the nation of Suomi and taking the towns of Jyvlaska, Pankikland, and Kingsland with them. At the same time, Clergyman Aghastblock also declared independence from Finland, creating the new Republic of Lapland. This event is known as The Great Northern Secession.

Following the ruin of Kingsland and its reformation into the new Finnish_Inquis, Suomi would be absorbed by Lapland and operate as a semi-independent state. It is important to note that throughout this event Finnish King Emerald_tip declared his intent to retain friendly relations with the new states. Things remained relatively peaceful until December of 2021, when President Aghastblock declared war on Finland, citing finnish harassment of Lapish mayors, border encroachments, and the scamming of 150 gold at Aghastblock's expense. As of yet, this war has had no decisive outcome, and there have been no official battles on either side. Most of the conflict has been centered in Pankikland, where a claim dispute has arisen over the ruins of Posio between the new town of Ranua and Pankikland. Recently, several Lapish and Finnish leaders have expressed their desire to peacefully reuinite North and South, however no official diplomatic attempts have been made to achieve such a thing. At the moment, the two countries remain at war, with a strong mutual distaste between the two fueling the conflict.

It is ironic, sad even, that Finland's deadliest enemy ended up being itself. Perhaps it was always destined to be this way, ever since Noveritsch declared his intent to create a rival finish state within Lapland. The legacy of Finland will be decided by this conflict, and I supremely hope that the kinship of brothers prevails over man's boundless hatred. -Pancat_the_King

  1. Monuments
This is the Fallen Kingdom recreation in the former capital Jyväskylä, built by Chancellor Noveritsch. It was finished on March 3rd, the same day the Expansion Age began. Later on Noveritsch griefed the castle. The castle was renovated by Emerald_tip and officially reopened on the day of his coronation.
This is the SpaceX BFR, or SpaceX Big Fucking Rocket. It was built by Noveritsch, as he has a big interest in space and aeronautics. It was also griefed by him.
