Land of a Thousand Lakes
Finland is a Nordic country located in Northern Europe, known for its stunning landscapes, saunas, and high standard of living. The country has a rich history, having been part of both the Swedish and Russian empires before gaining independence in 1917. Finland fought off invasion attempts during World War II and developed a strong welfare state and advanced economy in the post-war period. It joined the European Union in 1995 and has since become known for its excellence in education, technology, and design. Today, Finland is regarded as one of the world's happiest countries, with a high quality of life, low levels of corruption, and a reputation for being progressive on social issues.
