Åland is a small group of
islands between
Finland and
Sweden. Formally, Åland belongs to Finland, but the entire population speaks
Swedish and the islands enjoy a high degree of self rule
and independence. Åland has its own
national flag (pictured in
Nordic countries) and is mentioned as a member of the
Nordic countries, though not formally a
country in its own right. The
capital of Åland is Mariehamn
