Finland is divided into 19 regions, and below them into 308 municipalities, or kunnat: the tier that runs primary schools, early childhood education, planning, water and the roads that are not the state's. Every Finnish address sits in exactly one, and it is the name on the sign at the edge of town. This page is the whole list, grouped by region the way the game groups it.
The map is the 2026 one, and it is the product of a long run of mergers. Finland had well over 400 municipalities in the 2000s, and almost every year since has taken a few more off the list, so a map or a list that is more than a few years old has shapes in it that no longer exist. The boundaries run along the coast, which in the south west and south is a skerry belt of thousands of islands, so a municipality is often a mainland piece with a spray of islands off it.
Scale varies enormously. Inari, at the top of Lapland, is the largest by area and is bigger than several of Finland's regions, and Enontekiö and Sodankylä are not far behind. In the south the opposite is true: Kauniainen is a few square kilometres entirely surrounded by Espoo, and Kaskinen on the west coast is hardly bigger. Helsinki, Espoo and Vantaa share an edge, and a handful of municipalities in Uusimaa are the densest cluster on the map.
Finland has two official languages, and the names show it. In a bilingual municipality the name has a Finnish and a Swedish form, and on a road sign they stand together. The game asks for the name English uses, which is the Swedish one where Swedish is the majority language (Pargas, Raseborg, Närpes) and the Finnish one elsewhere. The local-name switch shows the Finnish name. Åland's 16 municipalities are all Swedish speaking, and its only official language is Swedish.
Each region can be switched on and off in the start dialog, which is the only sane way through a list this long. The game opens on Uusimaa, which is 26 questions, and Åland is 16.
Helsinki is on the south coast, the largest municipality of Uusimaa by population by a wide margin, with Espoo to the west and Vantaa to the north sharing its edge. Its Swedish name is Helsingfors, and both are on the signs.
Inari is the largest municipality in Finland by area, in the far north of Lapland against the Norwegian and Russian borders. It holds the large Lake Inari and the Sámi parliament at Sajos, and its signs carry three languages: Finnish, Northern Sámi and Inari Sámi.
Kauniainen, Grankulla in Swedish, is a small town of villas and the smallest municipality on the mainland, with Espoo wrapped around it on every side. It is the one that goes missing when a player scans for something on the map.
308 on the 2026 map this game draws, 16 of them in Åland. The number has fallen steadily through mergers since the 2000s, so a list older than a few years has many that no longer exist.
The local government tier: an elected council that runs primary schools, early childhood education, planning, water and local roads, and the main level at which Finns pay local tax. The regions above them are joint authorities of municipalities, and health care moved to the wellbeing services counties in 2023.
Inari by area, in the far north. Helsinki is the largest by population, and Kauniainen is the smallest on the mainland by area.
Finland has two official languages, Finnish and Swedish, and a municipality has both names if the minority language is large enough. Helsinki is Helsingfors, Turku is Åbo, and Pargas is Parainen. The game asks for the Swedish name in the Swedish speaking municipalities, because that is the one English uses, and for the Finnish name elsewhere.
The tier above this one is Finland Regions, and its 19 answers are the 19 groups here. For another country's municipalities, see Norway Municipalities, Sweden Municipalities and Netherlands Municipalities.
