	History of Finland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Since 1590s the Swedish rule was particularly bleak for Finland, used by the Swedish Empire, not only as a buffer against Russia, but also as a colony to be ruthlessly exploited economically and whose male population could be and was used as canon-fodder in meaningless and devastating wars.
		The weakening of Finland in the 17th century, however, proved fatal for the Swedish Empire, because during the reign of Charles XII (1697-1718), unlike in the Thirty Year War, the supply of Finns to be levied and sent to Swedish battlefronts was running low.
		Under orders of the Swedish authorities, among other things, the exchange of messagesbetween the military headquarters and Finland's Embassy and between the latter and the Civil Guard in Uusikaupunki were interfered and tampered with in such a way, that Finns were lured into vacating Ahvenanmaa against explicit orders from the commander-in-chief.

	Resolution on mandatory green certificates
		Mandatory green certificates were one of the resolutions the Standing Committee on Energy and the Environment in the Storting made on the matter of domestic use of natural gas.

		Until 1863 Swedish, not Finnish, was the language of jurisdiction, administration and higher education in Finland.
		Swedish is the mother tongue for about 265,000 persons in Mainland Finland and 25,000 on Åland, or 5.55% of the total population according to official statistics for 2003 [1] (http://www.stat.fi/tk/tp/tasku/taskue_vaesto.html).

	Administrative Costs for Social Security Private Accounts
		The Swedish system has some similarities in its administrative structure to the low-cost Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) for U.S. federal government workers, which has been advocated by some proponents as a model for administering a national private account system in the United States.
		Thus, the Swedish system may provide information relevant for predicting the level of fees in a national private account system based on the TSP, which has low fees in part because it receives contributions from only one employer, the federal government.
		Based on the experience of the Swedish system, it would appear that a mandatory system with a government clearinghouse, and a long lag time in the crediting of contributions could be provided at an administrative cost of 0.37 percent of assets per year or perhaps less, not including the cost of providing annuities.

		A decision by the west coast city of Kokkola to cut back on teaching of the Finnish language in Swedish-language schools is a cause for concern for those who put a high priority on the bilingual character in Finland.
		Local authorities are free to set school language curricula as long as the second domestic language (Finnish or Swedish, as the case may be) is offered at the upper level of comprehensive school at the latest.
		Erik Gerber of the Swedish-language education section of the National Board of Education takes a sceptical view of the insistence among municipal authorities in Kokkola who say that most of the children have quite a good knowledge of Finnish, and that the current level of Finnish-language education in the city’s Swedish-language schools is excessive.
