Why is eastern finland so poor?

>>77801448
No kalja?

>>77801448

Why is Southern Ostrobothnia so poor compared to Southern Karelia?

>>77801448
Because Eastern parts of European countries always tend to be poor, lol.

>>77802017

Britain?
France?
Spain?
Norway?

>>77802060
Not sure but I think all these countries also have some very poor regions in them. But it will be correct in Germany, Poland, Russia and a few other countries.

The reason is obvious. There are always poor rural areas and rich industrial areas in any country, all your regions just cannot be rich all the time.

How can I invest in eastern Finland?

>>77802763
As far as I know after Finland became part of Russia it became pretty much independent. Tsars didn't force anything in Finland. It is just obvious that regions closer to the sea and therefore to the international trade have more people and are more industrialized and developed

>>77802980
This border of finland is from 1300s and all of finland was part of sweden again after this but the russian damage was permanent. Finland got onto its feet after getting autonomous, not being ruled by neither russia or sweden

>>77803237
What damage are you talking about? RE gave you full autonomy on every level

>>77801448
What I find most weird is that northern Finland is richer than central and eastern Finland. In Sweden the northern part is extremely poor even though they natural resources.

>Tsars didn't force anything in Finland.
In the early years it was pretty relaxed in the later years they started their russification process. If the ww1 and soviet revolution wouldn't have happened we would most likely speak russian these days

>>77802763

That has nothing to do with it. There's just zero reason to live/start a business far from the coast so only old people stay there.
In the long run, the inland will be deserted.

>>77803392
Just a guess but north has lots of tourism. There is nothing but forest in the east.

>>77803392
Because there's nothing there. There's been a several documentaries about young men living there all women have moved elsewhere, filmed in the early 2000s during one of the largest economical growth period.
It's just unemployed or farming

Wish they had subtitles. And remember those were from the "good days" don't know how depressing it's these days

Why is southern Finland (Estonia) so poor?

Why is Åland so rich?

>>77803940
Government subsides. They get 5000€/person while on average other regions gets 1000€/person
We're cucks I know

>>77803889
Soviets and communism fucked them hard.
Before WW2 we were basically on the same line. We were both agricultural countries.
In a way soviets did a favor for us by forcing us to build shit for them. We had to develop industry pretty fast.

>>77803940
It's not. Only thing they do is grow potatoes. We just give them money for whatever reason.

>>77804108
actually Estonia was richer than Finland

>>77804108
>this kekkosslovakia propganda
Like it wouldn't have happened without giving our exports for free 10 years.
Most of our country was unharmed and didn't need much rebuilding we could've been like Sweden

>>77803270
Russians in 1800s were different from the 1300s cossack rapists.

>>77804194
I don't know about Estonia but we were pretty much in the same economically back then before ww2 as we're now
GDP/capita same level as france and netherlands
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_regions_by_past_GDP_(PPP)_per_capita
I don't know where this meme comes from that we were poor back then. So was rest of the europe

>>77804201
>giving our exports for free 10 years.
That's why we developed so fast. We had to build our industry. It was fucked up then but it worked in the end.

Is this what northern Finland really is like?

>>77804346
We were already industrialized. This is just kekkosslovakia propaganda to look something bright about giving shit for free for our new dearest ally

>>77804423
Yes

>>77804504
Looks fun

Goat documentary.
He was pure white trash and got murdered somewhere in SEA.
Mostly northern Finland is just alcoholism and stabbings.

>>77804588
nah, he hanged himself

>>77804465
We lost the war so it was the best possible outcome. We were forced to produce soviets shit for free so why not profit out of it in the long run?

>>77804651
Well there are several theories about it.

>>77804711
Yes we had to pay reparations but assholes who claim that it was beneficial for our economy are just victims of propaganda that we industrialized due to war reparations
We even built submarines in the 30s and had a solid industrial backbone

I've seen the pictures, but he might have been suicided because he got in debts with some bad people.
Who knows what really happened.
