Overview[]
Finland[]
Finland, officially the Republic of Finland, is a Nordic country in Northern Europe. From the late 13th century, Finland became part of Sweden as a result of the Northern Crusades. In 1809, as a result of the Finnish War, Finland was captured from Sweden and became an autonomous grand duchy within the Russian Empire. Following the Russian Revolution of 1917, Finland declared its independence. A civil war was fought in Finland the following year, with the Whites emerging victorious. Finland's status as a republic was confirmed in 1919. During World War II, Finland fought against the Soviet Union in the Winter War and the Continuation War, and later against Nazi Germany in the Lapland War. As a result, it lost parts of its territory to the Soviet Union but retained its independence and democracy. Finland remained a largely agricultural country until the 1950s. After World War II, it industrialised quickly and established an advanced economy, with a welfare state built on the Nordic model. During the Cold War, Finland officially embraced a policy of neutrality. Since then, it has become a member of the European Union in 1995, the Eurozone in 1999, and following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, joined NATO in 2023.
Carl Gustaf Mannerheim[]
Baron Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim was the sixth president of Finland from 1944 to 1946, Finland's only field marshal and honorary Marshal of Finland. He served as the military leader of the Whites in the Finnish Civil War in 1918 and Regent of Finland from 1918 to 1919. He was commander-in-chief of the Finnish Defence Forces during World War II. Participants in a Finnish survey taken 53 years after his death in 1951 voted Mannerheim the greatest Finn of all time. Given the broad recognition in Finland and elsewhere of his unparalleled role in establishing and later preserving Finland's independence from the Soviet Union, Mannerheim has long been referred to as the father of modern Finland.
Dawn of Man[]
Art by Hyperion
Honor and glory be yours, Baron Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim, Marshal of Finland. Your nation lies in the vast, cold North, surrounded by the great wilderness of forests and thousands of lakes. After being under Swedish rule, then Russian rule, Finland declared its independence in 1917 but was soon embroiled in a bloody civil war. Two decades later you united your war-torn nation to protect its independence against overwhelming Soviet attack. Despite all the odds, Finland remained independent in the torments of World War II by its stalwart united spirit, and from ashes of war your small agrarian country developed into a modern industrious welfare state the quality of life of which now stands on the top of the world.
Honoured marshal Mannerheim, your people calls for you once more time! You are called to unite Finland once again standing strong against her enemies! Will you lead your nation to greatness? Will you build a civilization to stand the test of time?
Introduction: The Finnish nation welcomes you. I am baron Gustaf Mannerheim, the honored marshal and leader of Finland. The night is beautiful and solemn, so let's not ruin it with meaningless hostilities.
Introduction:Breathe the air of our lakelands, feel the peace of this untouched wilderness. This is Finland, and its people are honored by your presence, great leader. I am baron Gustaf Mannerheim, the marshal and regent of Finland.
Defeat: Finland has fallen, but our heritage will shine forever.
