Greater Finland: Difference between revisions

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]].

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.
