On February 2, MaxFI had enough of his nations inactivity and decided to join the active nation of [[Finland]]. The decision was a bit hard because of his high rank in the nation and its long history. MaxFI probably could have even easily become the nation leader. But he thought that it would be useless to have two nations in Finland and changed his mind about leading the nation. Another reason was that Finland's capital, [[Jyväskylä]], was located right next to Lahdenpohja. | On February 2, MaxFI had enough of his nations inactivity and decided to join the active nation of [[Finland]].
