Finland

Finland, officially Republic of Finland is a Nordic country in Northern Europe, bordering Sweden, Norway, Russia and Estonia.
==History==
Finland had a rocky history with the Soviet Union. During the 19th century, the Russian Empire took control over what is now considered Finland. After finland gained independence on the 6th of December in 1917, it was clear that trouble was brewing, and from 30th of November 1939 to 13th March of 1940, a war was waged in Finland with the Soviets, who didn't like having a democratic country as their neighbour. Soviets were massacred by the Finns, who were absolute snow warfare experts. The war ended with a peace treaty, in which Finns lost some of their country's territory to the Soviets. The Finns tried to get their lands back during the Second World War, but failed.
During the Third World War, the Soviet Union invaded Finland again, despite it not being a NATO member state, and failing miserably once again, still not good enough at snow warfare to outdo the Finns, who eventually drove off the Red Army from their homeland.
