what country is lapland in

Lapland is a region that covers much of the Scandinavian peninsula’s northern stretches while also spreading over into a large chunk of Finland. It is not a country, but a region that is governed and administrated by four separate countries: Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. The largest and northernmost region of Finland is Lapland, which borders the region of North Ostrobothnia in the south and the Gulf of Bothnia, Norrbotten County in Sweden, Troms and Finnmark County in Norway, and Murmansk Oblast and the Republic of Karelia in Russia. Lapland also has a small part of Russia, taking up the country’s Kola peninsula, which is close to the borders with Finland and Norway.
