Finland belongs to the Scandinavian countries. By origin, Finns are closer to Estonians, but Finland was part of Sweden for quite a long time, so they adopted a significant part of Swedish culture. Moreover, their capital (before joining the Russian Empire) Turku was built by the Swedes. Today, this city is the second largest in Finland after Helsinki and a major administrative center.
