Sounds about right. Anything north of the Salpausselkä is north.

Everything outside Kehä III is north basicly

The line is a bit too high up north. It should be where ring three (kehä 3) is.

North is a matter of perspective. If you live in Eira, Töölö is in the north.
aaawwwwww on
Or perhaps *Northeast* (koillinen)

Turns out there is a whole country attached to Uusimaa? Wtf??

Tampere is not south

Nah, north starts from like 100 km where you live or where you grew up.

For me Jyväskylä is still keskisuomi, probably even Seinäjoki. Etelä-Pohjanmaa is a mix all-in-all but culturally more northern. I say this as a person from the south coast.

Lappeenranta is south?? Are you kidding me?

That’s about the North-South 50-percent-line for population.

Generally? Yes, personally? North starts at the arctic circle

So the line between North and South Finland is kind of like the line in the US between upstate and downstate New York?

Well, to be fair about half the population lives in that blue „south“ area in the map so it divides the population in about half. But personally I think southern Finland is up to Tampere, and northern Finland is from Kainuu and up. Between them is the central Finland.
North starts from the border of lapland. Below that, is Oulu ja Oulun alapuolinen alue (area under Oulu), then it’s already Etelä-Suomi (Southern Finland) and the whole Uusimaa is just considered Helsinki. Then ofc on west and east we have Ranta-Ruotsi and Savo.
Lapland can be divided though to few parts 🤓

For someone who lives inside Kehä3, the North starts at Hki-Vantaa airport. After that its just wilderness.

Anytime I tell my Tampere friends they’re „up north“ they admonish me. They’re in the global south compared to the real north.

Central Finland erasure
False. [Here](https://maps.app.goo.gl/9B3hE8qyJfcHs9876?g_st=ic) is the North-South divider
