The Jihad of July
Because Finland no longer had Russian regions in her possession, many believed the threat of a political take over to be over. However, the biggest threat of a PTO happened during July's elections, when the Finno-Ugric Party returned - this time as a whole new party just minutes before the day change and start of elections. This time, the threat was real.
Samotron, the presidential candidate of Finno-Ugric Party gained votes fast, and all the other Finnish presidential candidates except for one dropped out of the race to ensure a Finn would be elected. Erius from Red Jihad was the leading Finnish candidate in the morning, and by concentrating all votes to him, he won the foreign candidate Samotron with 358-279 votes. A staggering 728 people voted in the elections, which is more than ever before in the history of normal Finnish elections. This, and the vote count on both sides pointed out that foreign voters participated in the elections voting for both candidates.
Erius' goverment was heavily pressed by Latvians, and a threat of a Latvian political take over was considered real. To counter a possible PTO attempt, it was decided to return Latgale to Latvia via RW with Finnish funds because a treaty to return the region on Latvian terms with Latvians was rejected by their own congress. Latgale was never intended to be held under Finnish occupation, and in tactical terms one region would be easier to defend than two, plus Finland thought that returning the region would ease the tense relations with Latvia.
On 11th July, Okkius Pyromanius began a RW in Latgale by a congress decision, and 24 hours later the region was transferred to Latvia. The treacherousness of Latvians and PEACE revealed itself soon however - on 12th July, just before the day changed, Latvia attacked Zemgale with massive PEACE tanking effort. This was a prelude to the third World War, even though it was not seen yet back then. Finland and her allies defended the region bravely. The national weapons company issued weapons for citizens, gold donations were gathered from population and foreign troops were called for help, but despite the effort, Finland finally lost the region. On 13th July, Finland lost the high RM region it had held in her possession just over a month. Latvia proposed a peace treaty with Finland soon after, but it was rejected by Finland, partially because of the still existing PTO threat.
The loss of Zemgale caused discontent amongst population, and it did not help that the president had a one-week long holiday starting on the day the battle for Zemgale began. The vacation of Erius was told and planned beforehand, and during that time Okkius Pyromanius took charge as the Vice President.
As PEACE began its North American offensive and conquest of USA and Canada, Finland became also involved in the World War when Norway began blocking attacks against Russia. Russia retaliated by attacking Nord-Norge, and when Norway retreated the battle, Finland then attacked the Russian-owned Nord-Norge. Russia retreated the battle to gain offensive in North America, and Finland then returned the region to Norway. The same pattern was repeated soon after, but the other time Finland decided to keep Nord-Norge to stop the same attacks continuing over and over again.
During Erius' presidency the congress set up an office for Chancellor of Justice to supervise the actions of the government. After a slightly confusing voting process, Gabriel Lavanche was elected as the first Chancellor of Justice. After the citizenship module was implemented in game, immigration policy was discussed and debated in the congress. Finland was finally safe from political take overs - her only foreign region belonged to an ally, and only citizens of Finland had the right to vote in elections. The economical situation in Finland was weak however, as the Latvian campaign and attacks on Nord-Norge had diminished country treasury.
Finland recovers
The atmosphere in Finland had calmed down for August presidential elections. Gabriel Lavanche, a long-time politician was finally elected as president. His government began work immediately on the first day ”to raise Finland from the dwell it had fallen into”. The new government was criticised at first for its big size, but it proved its efficiency soon by holding a meeting with party presidents about a military reform, by which soldiers would be divided into units based on party membership. Also a new and mysterious intelligence service was founded, and culture was enriched by the new office of Minister of Culture and Education.
Economy was a focal point during Lavanche's term, and savings were made in many ways. Government budgets were made with care, and the Minister of Finance got a right to use monetary market for gaining profit. It was intended to create long term savings by investing gold into weapons and iron companies for NTJ, in which soldiers would produce raw materials and weapons for themselves. Even though the amount of gold used to create the companies was big, it would pay itself back soon by cutting the defence budget that had grown over the months.
In August Finnish military shined with its co-ordination and prowess when NTJ and HTJ fought for Canadian independence. The Finnish army decimated British troops trying defend Canadian regions, and Finland marched victoriously over Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia and Alberta, returning Canada on the map after it had been wiped out days ago.
The war was also waged on the Finnish soil when Russia tried to conquer Nord-Norge in order to advance further into Scandinavia. Finland defeated Russia once again however with her organisational skills, and after a victorious defensive battle, the region was transferred to Sweden's protection. What was notable about this one fight for Nord-Norge was that before the battle began, the enemy had crashed Finnish forums and most of the communications systems, and half of the government was on vacation when the attack began.
From September till present day: To be written.
From September till present day, Finland experienced domestic conflicts, an economic rise, military reforms, wars (most notably the Scandinavian war), joining of EDEN, the ending of World War III, and soon Finland is about to celebrate its one year of independence. The detailed history from September till present day will be written either this month or the next, and when it is, it'll be published in the news. The history so far will be put in eFinland's home page and on wiki for all to read. Until the next part,
Cheers!

"The treacherousness of Latvians"
I laughed when I read this - Latvians never said that they would forget about Zemgale if you gave Latgale back! So STFU!
If you really read this, you should notice following:
"Finland thought that returning the region would ease the tense relations with Latvia."
So go to school, listen in english lesson and then come back to whine about how unfair life is.
voted, as usual. Im starting to be a fan of your articles. They give me a good perspective about my eHomelands history. Im migrated to Norway due to lack of 0 skill construction companies in eFinland.
very interesting!! voted
Jager Motti, you might also want to get familiar with the Finnish version on eFinland's homepage. 😉
I like it how you were slightly biased in your depiction of Finno-Latvian war. It was a mistake and no amount of reasoning will make it a justified operation. Unless the whole idea was to give Latvians a baby boom since that was the only thing it accomplished. That, and losing a pile of gold in a poorly planned maneuver. Oh, and driving the Baltic nations into PEACE. Nice job.
We already have two neighbours we hate in the real world. Why did we have to waste time on those we don't have any strong feelings towards?

And you should learn to read!
