The present provinces are (from north to south) Lapland, Oulu, Western Finland, Eastern Finland, Southern Finland and the autonomous province of Åland, whose status was not affected by the changes.
The former practice of displaying the heraldic symbols of the provinces on the roadside on their boundaries has been abandoned, and the coats of arms are mainly found on desk pennants and the stamps, seals and documents of the provincial State offices.

 HELSINKI FACTS AND INFORMATION   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Founded in 1550 as a rival to the Hanseatic city of Tallinn by the King Gustav_I_of_Sweden, Helsinki struggled in its infancy.
For the first 16 years of its existence, the line was topologically only one straight line, but in 1998 a fork was added at Itäkeskus_metro_station, dividing the remainder of the line into two branches with three stations each.
Metro is an especially important method of transportation for commuters in the growing suburbs of Eastern Helsinki, and there are also plans to further expand the system to Espoo (see ''Länsimetro''), but lack of agreement over financing has caused delays to the project.

 Helsinki
Gustav believed that a town standing directly opposite Tallinn, which was a remarkable Hanseatic centre, was needed to attract to it the trade hitherto the monopoly of foreigners, mostly Germans, Russians and Dutchmen.
Finland was in those days the eastern province of the Swedish state.
After northern Estonia, including Tallinn, became a part of Sweden in 1561, the rivalry between Tallinn and Helsinki ceased to matter Gustav Vasa's economic plans.

 Provinces of Finland
In 1995 the old system "Finland 12 provinces (lääni, län, 400+ municipalities" was replaced with a new one: "Finland 6 provinces (lääni, län), 20 regions/counties (maakunta, landskap), 400+ municipalities".
The problem, if there is any, is that we use the same word (maakunta, landskap) for the old, large, historical provinces and for the new, small regions/counties.
Editor's note: According to Finnish heraldists, the heraldry of the newer regions (maakunta/landskap) shall be treated along the lines of municipal heraldry (because they are legally municipal entities), so pages for them are linked from the page for Finnish municipal flags rather than the page for Finnish provincial flags.
