Lapland is part of Finland. There is also a Lapland (or Lappland) that is part of Sweden. Do you suppose either Finland or Sweden on would like to sell their Lapland? It might make a nice/interesting deal along with buying Greenland from Denmark.
Lappland is a landscape in Sweden and Finland, and a town in Norway. The sami/same (two syllables) live in Norway Sweden Finland and Russia, lapp isn’t used much anymore as the name for the people. That said, there are a lot of place names with lapp in them. Around here there is Lappudden (same point) but there hasn’t been a reindeer drive through there since 1928.

My daddy always said that Lapland was where Missouri laps over into Arkansas and Oklahoma.

Funny thing is, in the US, most tracks are 400 meters, or about 1/4 mile.

At my 25-yard community pool, it’s 70.4 laps to swim a mile.

“…there are four Lapps to the mile.”
And they’re the reining ethnic group.

OK, another version: Only about 25% of Lapplanders ever smile. So there’s four Lapps to a smile.

Not a country, it’s a geographic region over several countries.
