Finland is a Nordic country situated in the Fennoscandian region of northern Europe. It has boundaries with Sweden in the west, Russia in the east, and Norway in the north, while Estonia lies in its south across the Gulf of Finland. The capital city is Helsinki. Around 5.3 million people live in Finland, with the majority determined in the southern part of country. It is one of the largest countries in Europe in terms of area and the most sparingly inhabited country in the European Union. The native language for most of the population is Finnish, a member of the Finno-Ugric language family most closely linked to Estonian and one of the four official EU languages not of Indo-European foundation. The second official language, Swedish, is spoken by a 5.5 percent minority. Finland is a democratic, parliamentary republic with a habitually Helsinki-based central government and local governments in 415 municipalities. Finland has seen brilliant results in many international comparisons of national presentation such as the share of high-technology developed the rate of gross household product increase, and the defense of civil liberties. Like other Nordic countries, Finland has liberalized its financial system since the late 1980s. Financial and product market rule was loosened. Some state enterprises have been privatized and there have been some humble tax cuts. Finland is one of the oldest countries. Finland is predictable to fight with demographics, even though macroeconomic projections are better than in most other developed countries. The climate in Southern Finland is a northern moderate climate. In Northern Finland, chiefly in the Province of Lapland, a sub arctic climate dominates, characterized by cold, seldom severe, winters and relatively warm summers. The main feature influencing Finland's climate is the country's physical position between the 60th and 70th northern parallels in the Eurasian continent's coastal sector, which shows features of both a marine and a continental climate, depending on the path of air flow. Finland is near satisfactory to the Atlantic Ocean to be regularly warmed by the Gulf Stream, which explains the abnormally warm climate bearing in mind the absolute latitude. Finnish people speak Finnish as their mother tongue. Finnish is a member of the Baltic-Finnic subgroup of the Uralic languages and is typologically between inflected and agglutinative languages. In practice, this means that instead of prepositions and prefixes there is a vast diversity of different suffixes and that compounds form an important amount of the language of Finnish. The Finnish landscape is enclosed with thick pine forests, progressing hills and complement with a labyrinth of lakes and inlets. Much of Finland is perfect and virgin as it contains 35 national parks from the Southern shores of the Gulf of Finland to the high fells of Lapland. It is also an urbanized region with many artistic events and behavior.
