So right now I am playing as Karelia in CKII with my ultimate goal by then end of the game to unite the Finnish mainland (not including Estonia).
And that got me thinking; how would Finland survive the Medieval Era to survive as an independent country.
I imagine the conversion to either Catholicism or Orthodoxy must occur, as a previous discussion talked about a pagan Finland. And the power would have to centralized along the coast, where the economic power lies the most because of natural environment.
Beyond that, however, I am not sure.
