Åland is a home-ruled, demilitarized and Swedish speaking

territory that belongs to Finland. The Ålanders have

competence to make their own laws regarding health- and

medical services, internal communications, education,

culture and ancient monument preservation, industry, the

police, the postal service, radio and television and the local

administration. The legislative assembly of Åland (Lagtinget)

of

Åland

(Landskapsregeringen/The Government of Åland).

Åland received its own flag in 1954 and its own stamps in

1984.

Since 1970, Åland has its own representation in the Nordic

Council. The Government of Åland also participates in the

work of the Nordic Council of Ministers.

Åland joined the European Union in 1995, but stands outside

the EU tax union.
