Finnish developers are celebrating the country's 100th anniversary since it declared its independence from Russia in 1917.
Developers such as Supercell, Rovio, Seriously, RedLynx, and Snowfall have taken to Twitter to wish a "Hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää Suomi" to the country.
Despite being a relatively small country, Finland has had an enormous impact on the mobile games industry. From the early days of Nokia to modern billionaires like Supercell, developers in the country have frequently been the trendsetters in games.
