Greetings Finland! Due to the recent increase of finnish players in Popomundo we've decided to add the city of Helsinki to the game. Seeing as Finnish and Swedish are both official languages over there we figured it was ok even though we don't have a Finnish translation of the game in the works… Anyhow, we're pleased to see that the Finnish Lions have found their way here.

Like always it will take a while for the city to prosper. Especiall now with the the requirement for company owners to actually travel to cities where they want to open up locales in.

A note on Helsinki time: We are making some changes to the time system in the game. Untill this work has been completed Helsinki will be on Central European Time.

Expect a Helsinki forum and Finnish radio stations to be up within a day or two. As well as the little pink star in the Traveller's Guide. We can't forget about that one!

And if anyone is interested in helping out with creating a Finnish translation of the game please contact Johnny Signorini who's our Main Man in the language department. A word to the wise before contacting him though: translating the game is a big job and should not be taken lightly. It's not for the faint of heart.
