Finland consists of 6 provinces (l��nit/l�n), following a 1997 redesign that reduced their number from 12.
- �land (Ahvenanmaan l��ni/�lands l�n)
- Eastern Finland (It�-Suomen l��ni/�stra Finlands l�n)
- Lapland (Lapin l��ni/Lapplands l�n, S�pmi)
- Oulu (Oulun l��ni/Ule�borgs l�n)
- Southern Finland (Etel�-Suomen l��ni/S�dra Finlands l�n)
- Western Finland (L�nsi-Suomen l��ni/V�stra Finlands l�n)
The province of �land enjoys a high degree of autonomy.
Each province has a State Provincial Office[?] (L��ninhallitus/L�nsstyrelse) which is lead by a Governor (Maaherra/Landsh�vding).
