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 26.4.2019.
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.
Later History
There have been some skirmishes with Turan, a small Turkish town on the Kola peninsula. It started when people of Turan began to grief towns in Finland, and then citizens of Vaasa attacked Turan in retaliation. Other citizens in Finland joined the fight, and it grew into a war. The Turks have not managed to properly cause casualties for the Finns so far, and many Finns consider the Turks more of a loose terrorist organization, rather than a proper army.
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.
