Finn blue line - Åland

Preface

Åland, an archipelago in Scandinavia, is hailed as a model for how to create a harmonious "nation", without giving it full independence: academics and politicians even studied it as a model for Kosovo. The prosperous islanders speak Swedish but are part of Finland and, until the EU turned up, were very happy with their arrangement.
