Facts about Finland

Finland, officially the Republic of Finland, is a Nordic country situated in the Fennoscandian region of northern Europe. It is bordered by Sweden to the west, Norway to the north and Russia to the east, while Estonia lies to the south across the Gulf of Finland.

From the 12th century until the start of the 19th century, Finland was a part of Sweden. It then became an autonomous grand duchy within the Russian Empire until the Russian revolution, which eventually led to the declaration of independence on December 6, 1917.

Following World War II Finland joined the United Nations in 1955, the European Union in 1995 and the Eurozone in 1999.

Finland is called Suomi in the Finnish language. Hence, our radio programme is called Suomiradio, which means Finland Radio. The name “Suomi” has uncertain origins, but a candidate for a cognate is the Proto-Baltic word źemē, meaning “land”.

Finland is the eighth largest country in Europe but at the same time it is the most sparsely populated in the European Union. There are currently (2013) about 5.4 million people living on the 338,424 km2 of Finland.
