This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Of course Åland feels most "regional attachment", they even have their own flag and ccTLD...

They’re basically Swedes under occupation by Moomin trolls

The inventor of the Moomins was part of the Swedish-speaking minority in Finland, just like all of Åland's inhabitants are.

Not sure what ccTLD is, but they also have their own stamps and their own government. They are largely autonomous.

TLD = Top Level Domain (.net, .com, etc).

ccTLD = Country Code Top-Level Domain (.nl, .de, .co.uk, etc)

Not likely to change.

If Sweden or Finland invaded Åland, it would destroy the only resource that it has: Tax evasion.
