Finland is a Scandinavian country bordered by Sweden to the west and Russia to the east, both of which countries have controlled it prior to obtaining full independence in 1917. Finland is economically one of the world’s most prosperous countries, with a population of only 5.2 million and two official languages, Finnish and Swedish. It is a land of extremes with almost half the year in darkness and the other half with the “midnight sun”. The capital is Helsinki, which has been designated the World Design Capital for 2012.
