====Helsinki====

The capital and largest city of Finland, with a population of over 1.5 million people in the Greater Helsinki metropolitan area. Helsinki has one of the world's highest urban standards of living. Called the "Daughter of the Baltic" or the "Pearl of the Baltic Sea", Helsinki is on the tip of a peninsula and on 315 islands.

As the crossroads of many international ports and having Finland's largest airport, Helsinki is the global gateway to and from Finland. Foreign citizens make up nearly ten per cent of the population. The Port of Helsinki is the busiest passenger port in the world and the main port for foreign trade in Finland.

Buccaneers usually visit Helsinki only if they have specific business there. If they need something from the mainland, Stockholm and Turku are a lot closer. But it is not uncommon to have business in Helsinki. 83 of the 100 largest Finnish companies have their headquarters in Greater Helsinki, and occasionally some of these – mainly the cooperatives - wish to discreetly obtain the services of the Buccaneers.
