Assigned blog #6

For the assigned blog this week i choose to do the country Finland. Im not really sure why i choose it but i like the name. When i researched my country I found out some things that i didnt know, Like how Finland use to be a province and a grand duchy under Sweden between the 12th and 19th centuries and it was also a grand duchy of Russia. It got its independance (freedom) during Wolrd War 2. They Defended themselves against the Soviet Union. The Finland people are called or known as finns or the finnish. They use to be a farm/forest economy but transformed into an industrial economy. Finland has the highest per capita income in Western Europe. Finland is between Sweden and russia it borders the Baltic Sea, the Gulf of bothnia, and the Gulf of Finland. Thier religon is mostly Lutheran wich is 82.5 percent. Finlands total population is 5,259,250. There national symblo is a lion.
