Greater Finland
Greater Finland is a nation placed in Northern Europe. It is geographically located in real life Finland, but EarthMC Finland has a greater size than it's real life counterpart, hence being named Greater Finland. It was established on April 26, 2019, and has a population of 129 as of April 29.
History
As a relatively new nation, Finland does not have much of a history yet, except for minor skirmishes with the Turks and some diplomatic interaction with Sweden.
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 now includes several towns and cities.
The War against Turan
It all started when people of Turan, a Turkish town in the Kolan Peninsula began to grief towns in Finland, prompting the citizens of Vaasa to attack Turan in retaliation. Finns crawled from all over Finland and joined the fight, growing the conflict from a minor skirmish into a war. The Turks 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 ended in total victory for Greater Finland, with Turanians paying the Finns war reparations and giving up their indepencence. As of 29 April, 2019, Turan has not yet joined Greater Finland.
Government
Leaders of Finland are the president and chancellors. There are no periodic elections, and citizens can decide when to hold elections. All citizens can run for chancellor and chancellors can run for presidency. Voting mainly happens via the official Discord group of Greater Finland.
Military
There is no official military, but a strong sense of patriotism compels most of the citizens to take up arms and fight whenever something happens.
Buildings
Näsinneula, an observation tower in Tampere:
The castle of Kekkoslinna, in the Capital of Greater Finland:
The statue of independence in Vaasa:
