Places

See Fi:Key:place (in Finnish) for details on definitions. They generally obey the English equivalents.

Municipalities, cities and Towns

Finland has been divided into municipalities that have well defined administrative borders and authority over the area. The number of municipalities compared to the population results with a large number of small entities by population. The English city/town terms does not map directly to the terms used in Finland, as each municipality may independently decide on city/town status (that has no legal meaning) and there may be multiple towns in a municipality. There are more than 100 cities, smallest having only slightly more than 1000 population. To make the map less crowded we mark the smaller cities as towns.

As of 1.1.2009, there are 348 municipalities and of these 113 are cities. Every now and then mergers reduce count, even if the towns remain.


Municipality Borders

Proper border information would be the preferred way to decide in what municipality a feature is located in. Some municipality borders does exist already so features inside these would not need is_in as it's error prone and does not have a strict hierarchy. Unfortunately we don't have border information for all municipalities yet so for those that are without we must still use a proper is_in tag for features.

Islands

We have too many of these to list here. Some can be found here.

Lakes

We have too many of these to list. So far most, if not all, have been traced from landsat images. If coastline length gets over 500 nodes or some map tiles full of lake appear as land, consider using natural=coastline.
