Finland
Index
Finland's government structure has remained largely
unchanged
since it was established in 1919 with the passage of the
Constitution Act
(see The Establishment of Finnish Democracy
, ch.
1). Building on a combination of old institutions from
both the
Swedish and the Russian periods, this law, together with
three
others also of constitutional status, has given Finland a
system
that has been remarkably successful in allowing a once
deeply
divided nation to govern itself.
Data as of December 1988
