Republic of Finland is one of the Nordic countries and, in terms of area, the seventh largest in Europe. It is a welfare state with a high standard of living, a small and educated population of just over five million, and pioneering high-tech know-how. Finns are proud of their advanced welfare system, the high level of education, and Finnish design and architecture. The country and its people have been moulded by its location between East and West.
