  1. Hello! I wanted to thank everyone for all of your Easter egg suggestions, and I figured I’d show you some progress pics.

    I learned about some really cool places and am excited about including as many of them as I can on the map. As you can see, I haven’t made much progress on the Fennoscandian peninsula just yet (here be dragons!), but I’ve just about finished the eastern portion of the map, so you can get a feel for what things might look like in the end.

    Please let me know if you have any more suggestions for what Easter eggs to include in Finland!

    To get a feel for what it might look like once it’s done, feel free to check out my other work on my profile or on [www.drunkkittencartography.com](http://www.drunkkittencartography.com/)

  2. Include this scene from Kalevala (the Finnish national epic) somewhere in the gulf of Finland between Finland and Estonia, as a nod to shared cultural heritage.

    Also maybe some nod to the booze cruises between Helsinki, Tallinn, Stockholm and Turku
