## Government and politics

### Administrative divisions

Finland consists of 19 counties, called *maakunta* in Finnish and *landskap* in Swedish. The counties are governed by regional councils which serve as forums of cooperation for the municipalities of a county. The main tasks of the counties are regional planning and development of enterprise and education. In addition, the public health services are usually organized on the basis of counties. Currently, the only county where a popular election is held for the council is Kainuu. Other regional councils are elected by municipal councils, each municipality sending representatives in proportion to its population.

In addition to inter-municipal cooperation, which is the responsibility of regional councils, each county has a state Employment and Economic Development Centre which is responsible for the local administration of labour, agriculture, fisheries, forestry, and entrepreneurial affairs. The Finnish Defence Forces regional offices are responsible for the regional defence preparations and for the administration of conscription within the county.

Counties represent dialectal, cultural, and economic variations better than the former provinces, which were purely administrative divisions of the central government. Historically, counties are divisions of historical provinces of Finland, areas which represent dialects and culture more accurately.

Six Regional State Administrative Agencies were created by the state of Finland in 2010, each of them responsible for one of the counties called *alue* in Finnish and *region* in Swedish; in addition, Åland was designated a seventh county. These take over some of the tasks of the earlier Provinces of Finland (*lääni*/*län*), which were abolished.land (*lääni*/*län*), which were abolished.land (*lääni*/*län*), which were abolished.land (*lääni*/*län*), which were abolished.land (*lääni*/*län*), which were abolished.land (*lääni*/*län*), which were abolished.land (*lääni*/*län*), which were abolished.land (*lääni*/*län*), which were abolished.land (*lääni*/*län*), which were abolished.
