Facts
GEOGRAPHY: Finland is a country of thousands of lakes and islands; 187,888 lakes and 179,584 islands to be
precise. One of these lakes, Saimaa, is the 5th largest in Europe. The Finnish landscape is mostly flat with few hills and
its highest point, the Haltitunturi at 1,328 metres (4,357 ft), is found in the extreme north of Lapland.
POLITICS: Finland has a semi-presidential system with Parliamentarism. The President of Finland is formally
responsible for foreign policy. Most executive power lies in the cabinet (the Finnish Council of State) headed by the
prime minister chosen by the parliament. The Council of State is made up of the prime minister and the ministers for
the various departments of the central government as well as an ex-officio member, the Chancellor of Justice.
HISTORY: According to archaeological evidence, the area now comprising Finland was first settled around 8500 BC
during the Stone Age as the ice shield of the last ice age receded. The earliest people were probably
hunter-gatherers, living primarily off what the tundra and sea could offer.
