Regions
Finland is a country in Northern Europe characterized by vast forests, thousands of lakes, flat to gently rolling terrain, and a long coastline along the Baltic Sea.
๐ Finland is a country located in Northern Europe, part of the Nordic region, situated between Scandinavia and Russia. It is bordered by Sweden to the west, Norway to the north, and Russia to the east, with coastlines along the Baltic Sea to the southwest and the Gulf of Finland to the south.
Finlandโs landscape is characterized by vast forests, thousands of lakes, and relatively flat to gently rolling terrain shaped by glacial activity. The northern region extends into the Arctic Circle, featuring tundra and colder climates, while the southern areas are more temperate. Finlandโs location has historically made it a meeting point between Eastern and Western influences, shaping its culture, trade, and development.

What is an ISO Country Code?
ISO country codes come from the international standard ISO 3166 created by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). These codes are used globally in databases, aviation systems, banking, shipping, and international data systems to uniquely identify countries and territories.ISO 3166-1 codes are the two-letter country codes such as US, FR, or JP. These are called Level-1 ISO codes.
Only ISO 3166-1 codes support flag emojis. Flag emojis are created by combining two Unicode regional indicator letters that match the country's ISO two-letter code.
ISO 3166-2 codes represent states, provinces, or regions. Example: US-AZ = Arizona CA-ON = Ontario Subdivision codes do not have flag emojis.
ISO-2 Code: FI
ISO-3 Code: FIN
ISO Numeric Code: 246
