Finland Superpower

Welcome to the Portal Page for the Finland Superpower ATL. (Alternate Time Line)

This timeline explores the world with the country of Finland as a sole and dominant superpower. Through numerous alternate sequences in history, Finland managed to gain large amounts of territory and power, which by 1989 (when Soviet Union was downgraded to only a 'great power'), Finland now holds sway over much that happens in this world.

This is a "live" timeline - its story continues to unfold NOW, in real time.
