		Finland is the only country where the provincial flags, which display the livery colours, consist of very long pennants.
		Subsequent to this, I was ferreting into Finland when I came across a county that currently uses a similar one as its official flag, albeit the case appears rare.

		The counties were introduced by Chancellor Axel Oxenstierna when Finland was a part of Sweden, to supersede an older division into the Provinces of Sweden.

		The two countries also have their counties close to other counties and the main countries- for example, most of Europe (with the exception of Spain and Italy) is Finland but most of Africa (with the exception of South Africa and Algeria) is Kenya.
