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. | 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.
