Suomen tasavalta
Republiken Finland
Finland, also known by his human name of Iivari Usko Tuikkala is a very private and often distant person. He is often suspicious and unwilling to trust anyone other than the few people closest to him. He's quiet by nature and rarely speaks unless he fully means what he is saying, and he can seem extremely blunt and harsh in a conversation.
To outsiders, he can often seem unreasonably cold, stubborn, and impersonal, but in truth, he values the few that he considers family and friends highly and would go to great lengths to protect those he cares about. Above all, he prefers peace and quiet and finds unnecessary interactions very unpleasant.
When angered, he can become ruthless and shortsighted, giving off a cold anger that others
might avoid. While it is rare for him to ever become this angry, it is no less terrifying, as Finland will become intent on what he sees as revenge, retribution, or justice.

Finland is five foot five inches and appears to be around 25 years old, with pale blue eyes and short blond hair. He has a tall face but round head.
In country form, his flag is on his face, with the blue cross going directly over his eyes. The pattern continues along his body and onto his hands.
In human form, his eyes are light brown, and his skin tone is extremely light, with the majority of the population having Finnish ancestry, as the only other major ethnic groups are Finno-Swedes and Sámi.
Finland's animal features are those of a lion and eagle. He has wings, and the fangs, ears, and tail of a lion. His wingspan is thirteen feet five inches. Despite having wings, Finland never learned to fly and has no wish to.
Finland has looked the same for much of his history.
