Finland
Finland, officially: Suomen tasavalta (Finnish); Republiken Finland (Swedish) (The Republic of Finland) is a Nordic country in Northern Europe. Helsinki is its capital and largest city and the official languages are Finnish and Swedish (though Sami is recognized as a regional language). Finland is officially a Parliamentary democracy. Finland was historically part of Sweden and from 1809 an autonomous Grand Duchy within the Russian Empire. Finland's declaration of independence in 1917 from Russia was followed by a civil war, wars against the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany, and a period of official neutrality during the Cold War. Finland joined the United Nations in 1955 and the European Union in 1995 and participates in the Eurozone. The Finnish economy is the world's thirteenth largest and the country has an advanced economy. The majority of Finns are members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland (81.7 percent) and almost half of Finns attend church at least once a month, by far the highest proportion of any of the Nordic countries. The traditional cuisine of Finland is a mix of European, Nordic and Western Russian and the food is generally simple but freshly prepared. Fish, meat, berries and ground vegetables are typical ingredients whereas spices are not common due to their historical unavailability. But spices have gained importance in modern Finnish cookery and now represent a prominent ingredient in modern Finnish cookery, with influences coming from both East and West. |
