[size=200]Hello Democracy 3 modding community![/size]
Hello!
I’m from Finland and I know Hedyx made a Finland mod but I want to make a more extensive effort on several parts here to try to replicate the republic of Finland in the game as accurately as possible in the fiscal year 2013.
I’m just going to gather some stuff and present some data here until serious work starts. In the meantime if you really just want to play Finland some there is Hedyx’ Finland.
Hedyx’ Finland country mod can be found at: http://positech.co.uk/forums/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=8337
If you want to post a policy idea for Finland here or help or something I would appreciate it.
