Finnistan (MicroWiki Version)

Template:Infobox country
The **Empire of Finnistan**, more commonly known as **Finnistan**, is a landlocked micronation in the capital district of upstate New York, and western Maine. Finnistan is made up of 2 provinces, Fyiromá, in upstate New York, and Fuzzbertia, in Maine. Being founded on 11 December 2021, Finnistan is a relatively new micronation, however, Finnistan has been in 2 different wars. The first war was the Grungolian-Finnian war, spanning from 26 December 2021–3 February 2022, and the second was the Rapolian-Finnian war, spanning from 25 May 2022–28 September 2022. However, in both of these wars, no battles took place, making them essentially pointless. Finnistan's government is run by the Finnistan Central Council, which holds elections for President every 6 months, on 2 April and 2 October. Finnistan's Emperor acts as the overseer of the Finnistan Central Council and foreign affairs. Finnistan has various ties to other micronations, such as Toucania, Moscow Federation, and most recently, the Federal People's Republic of Libertas. The Premier of Libertas, Emerson Lee, is known within Finnistan for being the Minister of Economy, as declared by Vice President, Tsar Jackson.

## Etymology

Finnistan is named after its current Emperor, Finn Putnam. The country's name is the Emperor's name, *Finn*, and the suffix *-stan*, meaning *place of* or *land of*. When translated literally, Finnistan's name means *the land of Finn.*

## History

Finnistan was founded on 11 December 2021 in upstate New York. The country was created for fun, or as a joke, but eventually evolved into a serious project for those involved. On 26 December 2021, Grungolia was founded, and shortly after, declared war on Finnistan. This war was relatively uneventful, as there were no battles, and the reason for the war was unknown. The Grungolian-Finnian war lasted from 26 December 2021, to 3 February 2022. Later in the year, Rapolia declared war on Finnistan on 25 May 2022. The Emperor of Rapolia claimed the reason for the war was to annoy the Emperor of Finnistan, and that they wanted recognition. Similarly to the Grungolian-Finnian war, no battles were fought in the Rapolian-Finnian war, and the war ended on 28 September 2022, after Rapolia was disbanded. At some point in early 2022, a close ally of Finnistan, Fuzzbertia, was dissolved after a civil war. Fuzzbertia had been an ally of Finnistan since Finnistan's founding, due to Emperor Finny being a former governor in Fuzzbertia before the founding of Finnistan. After Fuzzbertia was disbanded, the territory was surrendered to Finnistan, gaining them land in Maine. Recently, Vice President Tsar Jackson has declared Emerson Lee Minister of Economy, and the nation has showed interest in improving their economy.

## Economy

Finnistan exports mica from the province of Fuzzbertia. Mica, however, does not make much income, and the economy of Finnistan is still being worked on by various members of the government, most notably Vice President Tsar Jackson, and the Minister of Economy, Emerson Lee.
