芬蘭（Finland），是斯堪的那維亞半島的一個非主要國家。其北鄰 
挪威，西鄰 
瑞典，東鄰 
蘇維埃聯盟。芬蘭的工業基礎很弱小，核心人口為367萬，面對蘇聯歷史上的巨大壓力，其生存空間面臨巨大挑戰。
地理
芬蘭位於北歐，許多領土是平原，森林茂密。湖泊和沼澤位於南部，而丘陵位於芬蘭的北部。芬蘭的首都赫爾辛基是所屬地區唯一的城市。
歷史背景
芬蘭是 瑞典的一個大型而又文化獨立的地區，最早於12世紀初出現。在1809年的芬蘭戰爭之後，芬蘭被俄羅斯占領。在1917年布爾什維克革命和俄羅斯內部動盪之後，芬蘭再次宣布獨立。在1918年短暫但極富破壞性的內戰之後，芬蘭被正式承認為獨立國家。
經過20年的獨立，芬蘭於1939年受到 蘇維埃聯盟的襲擊，導致了1939-1940年的冬季戰爭。千方百計，人數眾多，裝備不足的芬蘭軍隊最終擊退蘇聯的進攻，直到1940年的大規模攻勢最終迫使該國為和平而停戰。芬蘭喪失了大約12.5％的領土（相當於遊戲中的薩拉（Salla）和維普里（Viipuri）地區），但作為一個獨立國家得以倖存，這與波羅的海國家早些時候併入蘇聯不同。
1941年，芬蘭與納粹德國一起發動了對蘇聯的戰爭（在蘇聯轟炸機襲擊了納粹轟炸機轟炸列寧格勒的芬蘭軍用飛機場之後），最初稱這場戰爭為「夏季戰爭」。顯然，巴巴羅薩計劃（Barbarossa）失敗後，它被更名為一場「持續戰爭」。在上述戰爭中，芬蘭作為 
德意志國和 
義大利的盟友，除了重新占領故有領土外，還入侵了東部的卡累利阿（Karelia）（相當於遊戲中的奧涅加（Onega）和奧洛涅茨（Olonets）地區）。但是芬蘭在冬季戰爭中失利了，儘管受到德國的壓力，芬蘭仍拒絕攻擊列寧格勒或切斷通往摩爾曼斯克的鐵路，並與德國分開進行戰爭。
對東部的卡累利阿的征服和看似無法阻擋的國防軍使芬蘭法西斯主義政黨IKL（「Isänmaallinen Kansanliike」）中的許多人夢想著建立一個「大芬蘭」（"Greater Finland"），甚至涵蓋了整個斯堪地那維亞半島和波羅的海國家。
1944年，蘇聯的反攻攻勢超出了軸心國軍隊的入侵力量，迫使芬蘭人撤退，但芬蘭軍隊在塔利-伊漢塔拉（Tali-ihantala），維薩爾米-艾拉帕（Vuosalmi-äyräpää）和維堡（Vyborg）戰役中成功制止了蘇聯的進攻。芬蘭於1945年初與蘇聯簽署了停戰協定，這使它成為德國淪陷前最後一個投降的歐洲軸心國，在拉普蘭戰爭（Lapland War）中將其餘的德國人從芬蘭土地驅逐出去之後，第二次世界大戰對於芬蘭來說終於結束了。1947年，芬蘭與其他同盟國國家簽署了和平條約。
值得一提的是，芬蘭是在第二次世界大戰中軸心國「倖存」下來的唯一的國家，而不是被同盟國大國占領，無論是在戰爭期間還是戰爭之後。
第二次世界大戰結束後，芬蘭發現自己在隨後的幾十年中處於一場微妙的政治和外交的遊戲，並在後來的冷戰中，在東西集團之間演變成了「中立空間」。

Strategies and Guides
Finland is one of the harder minors to play, but the potential for a great nation is there, the nation has good military advisors and generals, in addition, the national spirit of Sisu makes Finnish units hard-hitting in combat. If the player knows what they are doing, they can beat the Soviets 1 vs 1. If the player wants to play a longer campaign it is recommended to go for either fascist, or the communist ideology, the democratic or non-alinged paths are poor options, because Finland has a tiny industrial base and very limited manpower, as at the start of the game Finland is at limited conscription, with about 88 thousand manpower. Having 88 thousand manpower means it is almost impossible to defend against any kind of aggression, since the player will be getting more only after they are at war.
The following is just one strategy, but I have found out it works quite well in singleplayer at least. The strategy will contain a lot of small details and it might be required to find ones inner Sisu in order to finish reading this guide. If any DLC mechanics are used, they will be mentioned as: TFV (Together for Victory), DOD (Death or Dishonor) and WTT (Waking the Tiger), and the name or function of the mechanic. The dates mentioned are not a must, they are just a guideline of when the player should have certain things done, but if they have a few hundred hours of the game under their belt they can start making their own decisions, this is just 「a very specific overall guide」.
Going fascist and making Suur-Suomi (Greater Finland), reality
Facist path is the best option for a tiny nation such as Finland. This option will mostly likely mean a war with the Soviets, but as they are going to attack Finland anyway, it doesn`t matter. If historical focus is on and Germany does the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, the player can expect the Soviet invasion about 6 to 12 months after Soviets get the claims, but it can vary a lot.
The player should start by doing the national focuses from 「Political Effort」 to 「Militarism」 and getting a facist advisor right after the first focus. At the start the player's production should be focused on building infantry equipment and convoys. It is recommended to delete most of the dockyards, as the player will accumulate later when invading other nations, since they are going to need the building slots. It is also possible to start building warships after the player has gained more dockyards, and beat the Soviet Baltic Fleet, but it is not too useful, since the Soviet AI doesnt't do naval invasions against the player and the player doesn't really have the capability to do naval invasions themselves.
Construction can be started by building a few civilian factories before going for military ones, or start to build military factories straight away. After this they should just build military factories until there is enough of them (I'll focus on this later), and then start building forts. For reseach the player should get (before June 1939), all the following techs that are not ahead of time, Fighter I (VL Myrsky), all the infantry weapon upgrades and Infantry weapons II (Suomi KP/-31), all anti-tank and artillery upgrades, motorized and the following support companies and their upgrades; engineer, maintanance, field hospital and logistics company, all engineering and industrial techs (not the radar, synthetic oil & rubber and conversion techs), but radio and as much from the land doctrine tree 「Superior Firepower」 as possible. Its is recommended to always have research on the doctrine going. It is also recommended to go for 「Dispersed Industry」, 「Dispersed Support」 and 「Shock and Awe」 techs and their respective branches.
After finishing 「Militarism」 the player should go for industrial focuses and get the free research slot and the civilian factories, after that the player should take 「Military Youth」 and after that the 「Army Effort」 and 「Doctrine Effort」 focuses. And when it can be taken, the 「Extra Research Slot II」, it is also important to for the player to have completed the focus 「Ideological Fanaticism」 before the war with the Soviets, since it grants a bonus to defence on core territory.
The player can expect the facists to take power somewhere in the beginning of 1937, if the player has the facist advisor and has completed the focus 「Nationalism Focus」. Next advisors should be the 「Silent Workhorse」 and 「Military Theorist」, in the order that the player chooses. Army XP is going to be important, but there is also a lot of uses for that extra political power. When the facists take power through a coup, (Dont do the civil war, it is not useful), the player should have about 120 free political power (PP) ready, and then start the justifications on first Sweden and then Norway. If the player thinks they can invade Denmark with less or the same effort, they should take it over Norway, but it should take no more time than invading Norway. Going to war with the Allies over Norway or Denmark is a bad option, because oil and rubber need to be bought from somewhere when the player is at war with the Soviets. If the player gets lucky, they will get both Sweden and Norway/Denmark before the allies can quarentee them, but, if not, Sweden will do, it will just take more to produce all the equipment they'll need. Before going to war with the Swedes, remember to garrison the ports of Vaasa, Turku, Helsinki and Åland, since the Swedish AI loves to navally invade them. Manpower should not be wasted when fighting agaisnt the other Nordic countries, as it's going to be needed later.
A quick note about manpower here; it is really important to always have manpower mobilizing, since the player is going to need a lot of it (about 560k to 620k to be precise), and the order of focuses and the choosing order of the laws should reflect this. The player should even go as far as to cause world tension to get for example the 「Service By Requirement」, conscription law, this can be done, for example by justifying war on the USA, but the player should in no situation declare wars. Before the war with the Soviets the player should also have the following military high command, Carl G. Mannerheim, Karl Oesch, Valio Porvari and Harald Öhquist.
The production (June 1939), should resemble the following, 10-15 factories on Infantry Equipment, 5-7 on Support Equipment, 15-20 on Artillery, 2-3 on Anti-tank, 1-2 on Motorized and the rest on building fighters + if the player has the DLC WTT, they can build some transports for use later. The division that is best suited for a defensive war like this with the finnish national spirits and leaders looks like the following, 20 infantry battalions, 5 artillery batallions, combat-width of 55. As support there should be; an Anti-Tank, Engineer Corp, Field Hospital, Maintainence, and a Logistics company. The player should recruit 24 of these, and give them to one of their 2 starting generals, if they have the DLC WTT they should recruit a new field marshal and give them the defensive traits. If not, just promote General Nenonen and use him as the field marshal. The player can also use the historical finnish commander-in-chief C.G.E. Mannerheim as the field marshal (I just wonder why it took paradox 2 years to put him in as the highest base defence leader in the game). Recruiting 24 of these units will cost the following; 590k Manpower, 4400 Artillery, 600 AT, 50k Infantry Equipment, 700 Motorized and 2500 Support Equipment. The high combat width of the division is because of the Finnish national spirit of Sisu that gives +20% defense on core territory, 20% is more when taken from 55 width divisions, compared to for example, 40 width divisions.
The player should start building forts and start doing the continuous focus 「Construction Effort」, in early 1939 or when Germany starts doing the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact national focus. Build level 3 forts in all provinces, and level 4 forts in provinces that are connected to 3 Soviet provinces. After that the player can build whatever they want. Units can be put like the following, 4 on the Karelian Isthmus, the rest (20), with a frontline order on the rest of the border, 2 in the provinces connected to the 3 Soviet provinces. Once the Soviets invade, the player needs to pay attention to where their units are getting constantly attacked and shuffle so the frontline division can recover its organisation at some time, this is because of the high combat-width, there can most likely be only 1 division defending in battle (and for some reason its always the same division), though there is 2 in the province. If the player has the DLC WTT, they can stop building regular equipment after the war begins, since they are going to capture more than enough from the Soviets. Because of this fact, the conscription law should be raised as high as possible after the war begins, to gain more manpower to build more divisions for the invasion of the USSR. When the war starts the continuous focus should be changed to 「Construction Repair」, because the soviets will try to bomb the built bunkers to the ground.
Now they just have to wait and let the Soviets endlessly attack the Finnish defensive line (yes it is this strategy again.) Until they reach 2 to 3 million casualties, wait, then after that the player can start attacking, hopefully with air superiority, and with those transports assigned to dropping supplies into the states of Onega, Olonets and Murmansk, because the supply there is bad to, say the least. It is also possible to build tank divisions from the thousands of tanks the player is going to capture during the defensive phase. Should the player lose a part of the defensive line, they should try to retake it before the Soviets can funnel troops in there, after a week for example. It can not really be taken back because of the forts and this might cause the entire line to collapse to provinces where there's no forts. The player should try to encircle as many Soviet divisions as possible when they advance into Onega and Murmansk. The city of Leningrad can be taken when the player thinks it is time, but its recommended to take it after the player has 28-30 divsions with the template mentioned above. Soviets will start constantly attacking to take back the city, so the player should have enough divisions to shuffle and defend. After this, the Soviets should be so crippled the player can, by carefully advancing, take advantage of the rivers and other easy to defend locations to wear down the Soviet forces, take Moscow and other cities to make the Soviets capitulate. After gaining the soviet industrial base it should be fairly easy to make Finland the only superpower on the planet. All the manpower problems the player might experience after removing the Soviets can be fixed by having the DLC TVF and releasing for example, Ukraine, to milk manpower off them.
