The Kingdom of Finland (Finnish: Valtakunta Suomi), commonly known as Finland (Suomi), is a sovereign constitutional monarchy in the Scandanavian peninsula, northern Europe. The nation had, for centuries, been encompassed by other nations like Sweden and Russia, but gained independence in 1917 with the end of the Russian Uprising. In 2013, Finland's population was about 5.5 million.
