The Protectorate of Finland and Sapmi is a small, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its soft-spoken computers, suspicion of poets, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 36 million Fins are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.6%.

The Finland and Sapmian economy, worth 1.80 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Gambling. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 49,954 Euros, with the richest citizens earning 6.9 times as much as the poorest.

Sexuality-questioning teenagers are placed in locked rooms with dirty magazines and lewd posters, church and state are inseparable in their influence on education, the military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks", and only AIs know why the nation is rapidly increasing its semiconductor stockpile. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force. Finland and Sapmi's national animal is the Saimaa Ringed Seal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Finland and Sapmi is ranked 42,818^th in the world and 146^th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 5,188.49 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
