Tinto Maps #11 - 19th of July 2024 - Scandinavia

[BurnBird]

Province names naming convetions.
There are way too many swedish names in the map. The coast from Pedersöre to Åbo is fine,
as is Ekenäs and Kyrkslätt, but the rest should be finnish. The swedish speakers in ostrobothnia are very much concentrated in the extreme west, so any province inland having swedish populations of note in the 1300s sounds unlikely.

There have been other suggestions by other people, and I think many of them more knowledgeable than me. Please use these if no other suggestions for the place exist.

Kaustby -> Kaustinen
Lappo -> Lapua
Storkyro -> Isokyrö
Ulfsby -> Ulvila
Tammerfors -> Tampere
Tavastehus -> Hämeenlinna
Hvittis -> Huittinen
Pöytis -> Pöytyä
Helsinge -> Helsinki
Liljendal -> Orimattila (Liljendal is way too swedish for the time.)
Heinola -> Mäntyharju (that area has one small town.)
Laukas -> Laukaa (I hardly think this was a hotbed of swedish colonization)
Vederlax -> Vironlahti
Viborg -> Viipuri
Toksovo -> Toksova (Toksovo (То́ксово) in russian)
Konevets -> Konevitsa (this is the name of an island in lake Ladoga. I would use Petroskoi(fi) Petrovskoe(ru) as alternative name.
Kexholm -> Käkisalmi
Jäskis -> Ruokolahti. I don't know what Jäskis is supposed to be, but Finnish language it is not.
Heinijoki could be named Imatra, but is basically fine.
Toksburg (swedish) -> Oreshek (Founded 1323) Finnish name would be Pähkinälinna.
Naming it Toksburg when it was only conquered by Magnus Eriksonn 1348 and held untill taken/ruined by novgorod 1351 sounds a bit off.
Sordavala -> Sortavala (typo)
Vartsila -> Värtsilä
Loymola -> Loimola (typo)
Mökhö -> Motko (if we go by the finnish name of the russian village)
Kajana -> Kajaani
Sikkalatva -> Siikalatva (typo)
Uleåborg -> Oulu
Paltamo -> Puolanka (Paltamo is a bit too close to Kajaani)
Utajärvi -> Muhos (easier to say / write)
Kuivajärvi -> Ii (ditto)
Kiemi -> Kemi (typo)
Rovaniemi -> Pello (Pello is a border town, a very old finnish settlement.)
Korvala -> Rovaniemi (A minor border tweak may be in order, but look better to me to have Rovaniemi in the interior.)



For the north Finland, I don't really see why the locations in the modern day nation would be using finnish names. They are under no game recognized government and there are little if any finnish speaking people there yet. I would suggest using Sami names for the places.

Below are the northern Finnish provinces with their alternative Sami names, which would probably give distinct flavor.
(Finnish) Utsjoki / (Sami(northern) Ohcejohka
(Finnish) Nunnanen / (Sami(northern) Njunnás
(Finnish) Inari / (Sami(northern)) Anár / (swedish) Enare
(Finnish) Ivalo / (Sami(northern)) Avvil
(Finnnish) Savukoski / (Sami(northern)) Suovvaguoika
(Finish) Sodankylä / (Sami(northern)) Soađegilli
(Finish) Kittilä / (Sami(northern)) Gihttel
(Finish) Rovaniemi / (Sami(northern)) Roavvenjárga
(Finish) Kemijärvi / (Sami(northern)) Giemajávri
(Finish) Salla / (Sami(Ivalo)) Kyelijävri
I did not find northern sami name for salla, but It looks like Kyelijávri would be likely.

I also looked at the map and seeing no swamps think I might need to look at the issue a bit. There is a lot of swampland in Finland, the current land area is 20% swamp, one of the highest concentrations in the world. A lot of swamp has been dried out, so the map should be a lot more swampy. I'll post in the near future on that.

I wonder how many novels worth of text people have wasted on "this province should actually have this name" when dynamic province names is a confirmed feature. The exact same thing happened with the Egypt map talk. A quarter or so of all the comments were people complaining that Jerusalem should be Al-Quds. People spend so much time making these lists without contextualizing themselves to what they're responding to.

 

[Andy_Dandy]

That was the name during danish rule

Yep, or more precisely Christiania -and first during the reign of Christian IV.

 

[Kairaix]

Will the map be dynamic to represent glacial rebound in Scandinavia and other northern regions, as well as t.ex. land reclamation by the Dutch?

 

[Mahatma Gandhi]

Thanks!

When thinking about these mountain routes I was thinking hard about what would become the default route. Oslo-Bergen is easiest and fastest by ship along the coast. While if you are in Hallingdal it would be way easier and faster to cross the mountain pass.

Were all these mountain routes used extensively?

Even now with modern technology the Sognefjell-route is closed for over half the year. It's certainly possible to walk there, as I have walked quite a bit of it myself a few summers ago, but could you bring a army? For sure it would at least be impossible to bring artillery. And would it be reasonable to do so if you had an alternative? Weather can be extremely harsh there. In the timeframe it's only a path... At least on the Lærdal route, they built a wagon road in the middle of the time period.

The route between Aurland and Voss was mentioned. It's certainly passable and was used, but any large transport or trade would go by boat from Aurland to Bergen. Though, without having studied the subject, I imagine it being the prefered route if going only from Sogn to Voss.

There was even a route, walking 3 days over the Josterdal glacier, between Sogn and Nordfjord. Apparently sometimes used in the 1800s for wedding-travel. But I can imagine it being really dangerous and only possible in the nicest of summer weather.

Today it has one of the steepest roads in the country, but if the german tourists with their camper vans can do it, I'm sure we can roll some cannons down there too

I think you're right about Sognefjellet. Though it would have been used all throughout the year by locals (probably except for the worst winter days). I doubt they'll have mechanics that let us only use it for trade or communication, or only lets us march armies across it in summer. Besides, for gameplay purposes it may be best to limit the amount of routes one can go through

 

[Stein14]

Its a vassal but the ruler is the same as the overlord.

So a little closer to the PUs in EU 4?

 

[Red_warning]

Land reclamation events in the low countries would be pretty neat.

its not a waste as PDX needs all those alternate names in different languages to make them dynamic in the first place.

 

[Bluehunter]

I wonder why you went with the Swedish läns for Skåne? For 321 years of the province

I also took the opportunity to replace the names with older ones. As suggested (mostly) by @Danskjävel
View attachment 1166238

Since I know enough about Scania I would like to point out in regards to this map that Sölvesborg should be Væ (Swedish: Vä) since during the medieval period it was a prosperous settlement (with town rights) up until the many plunders by the Swedes starting in the 15-16th century. Also with the moving of the borders in Northeastern Scania, Osby should be Stoby since it is physically inside those redrawn borders. Alternatively it could be renamed Finia (or modern spelling Finja) or Røinge (Röinge)

 

[Chieron]

Will the map be dynamic to represent glacial rebound in Scandinavia and other northern regions, as well as t.ex. land reclamation by the Dutch?

You do realize that the changes in Scandinavia would amount to a few pixels switching to land, in the entirety of the region? Land, that is barren rock in most places. This is completely irrelevant and should not at all have gameplay effects either. Apart maybe from destroying harbors that the player has to replace (e.g. Luleå).
While the polders in the Netherlands represent more noticeable changes in the coastline, even those should rather be great projects, if they are made visible at all. Same for other changed coastlines (mostly river deltas). When hundreds or thousands of square kilometers are abstracted into one "location", the exact shape of that location does not matter, only its connections.
Consider too the fact that deforestation, swamp drainage and land cultivation are not represented right now. Things that actually would entail meaningful gameplay effects additionally to altering the map..

Didn't mean to make you upset, I was just curious. Modelling glacial rebound and polder construction and representing deforestation and swamp drainage are all activities that don't have to exclude each other.

 

[kgmaan]

Central Asia / Iran map when?

 

[Friedrich von Deutschland]

IMO Idre should be part of Jämtland since for the first half of the game’s period it was part of Norway, and changed owners to Sweden with Jämtland. Since provinces can’t be dynamic I think it’s better to have gameplay which is good for both Sweden and Norway regardless of who owns Idre, instead of making it weirdly biased towards Sweden.

 

[Boxtrot]

I think Rønneby is in the correct place but Brekne could be renamed to Lykkeby/Lyckeby/Lyckå as it was a Market Town

Lyckeby was first mentioned in 1449. it properly wasn't around in 1337

I'll post in the near future on that.

For Northern Finland, why should the names be in northern Sami when the Kemi sami languages (more closely related to inari and skolt sami than northern) were spoken in a large part of the area? My suggestions are:

(Finnish) Inari / (Sami(inari)) Aanaar/ (swedish) Enare
(Finnish) Ivalo / (Sami(inari)) Avveel (Ivalo was known as Kyrö village or Kyrö by before it was known as Ivalo, so perhaps that's a better name)
(Finnnish) Savukoski / (Savukoski is an interesting one. Afaik it was known as "Keminkylä / Kemi by" in old maps. I suggest renaming it to Sompio / Soobbâd (not sure about Soobbâd being the accurate sami language name though)
(Finish) Sodankylä / (Sami(northern)) Soađegilli / SWedish Såvannby (Sodankylä mainitaan vanhoissa lähteissä nimillä Såvannby (1563), Sovankylä (1566–1567) ja Savan kields (1700-luvun alku). Paikannimen alkuosa tulee nimestä Sova, joka on kahden joen risteymä tai suomalaistettu muoto saamelaisesta sukunimestä Čoavvá. Pohjoissaamenkielinen nimi Soađegilli lienee myöhempi käännöslaina suomenkielisestä nimestä - Wikipedia)
(Finish) Kittilä / (Sami(northern)) Gihttel (inarisami Kittâl)
(Finish) Rovaniemi / (Sami(northern)) Roavvenjárga (According to wikipedia Rovaniemi was known as Korkala till the 1700s?)
(Finish) Kemijärvi / (Sami(northern)) Giemajávri (Kiemajävri)
(Finish) Salla / (Sami(Ivalo)) Kyelijävri (Guollejaur/jaure in historical records, Kuollejaure/jäure in reconstructed kemi sami)
Kuusamo and Posio I would call Kuáccám já Puášu (inarisami), respectively

I've used inari sami for the names, because it is the closes of the still-alive sami languages to the sami languages/dialects of the Kemi Lappmarck area.

Also speakign of Salla/Kuolajärvi, having it be so small and Alakurtti (which was a part of Kuolajärvi) being somehwere near Kandalaksha is kind of weird. What's now Alakurtti on the map, I would call Kananen or something like that, and remove the wasteland between Kandalaksha and Salla.

The book "Vanhan Lapin valtamailla" by Matti Enbuske (in finnish only afaik) is a pretty decent source for the old borders between saami siidas in the Kemi Lappmarck area. Even then, most of the modern day municipal borders roughly follow the old siida borders.

And yes, sami people should be all the way in Kainuu as well.

no. its part of dalarna, and that will not change

 

[Torakka]

I have finally finished my feedback for Ingria and Karelia. Hopefully this will be helpful when these areas get reviewed!

As some have already pointed out, the borders in Ingria and Karelia are quite sloppy and inaccurate. This is an issue mainly because a lot of these borders worked as national borders during the timeframe of the game. As there are a lot of inaccuracies with the borders and the locations, I decided that the easiest way to point them all out was to draw my own version of the region with all the fixes and explanations for them.

Historical state and county borders
View attachment 1162212View attachment 1162213

The dark borders are the most important ones to portray. They represent the historical state borders of Sweden and Russia and the historical borders of Swedish counties. The borders are the following:

Treaty of Nöteborg (1323)

Treaty of Teusina (1595)

View attachment 1162199View attachment 1162200View attachment 1162201View attachment 1162202View attachment 1162204
The borders of the counties of Viborg, Savolax, Kexholm and Ingria. This Wikipedia article and this map are good and detailed references for province borders.

Provinces
View attachment 1162214

The province borders are entirely based on historical counties. The biggest differences are with the counties of Viborg (currently Karelia) and Kexholm (currently Far Karelia). Before the Ingrian war and the Treaty of Stolbovo, the border of Sweden and Russia followed the eastern borders of the counties of Viborg and Savolax. At the time Kexholm Karelia was a subdivision of Vodskaya Pyatina, which itself was one of the five subdivisions of Novgorod Land in Russia. The territory was known as Korelsky Uyezd and it was administered from Korela (Kexholm). When Sweden received the uyezd in the Treaty of Stolbovo alongside Ingria, the borders of the uyezd were preserved and its eastern borders became state borders between Sweden and Russia. To represent this, "Far Karelia" should be given the locations on the western coast of Lake Ladoga, according to the borders of the Kexholm County as they were before and after Swedish conquest. Its name could also be changed to either Kexholm or Korela, while "Karelia" is renamed to Viborg, to match the names of the historical counties.

Another important difference is that Kajana is left outside Savolax, as historically Kajana was part of Ostrobothnia.

Countries
View attachment 1162215

Sweden should be given more land in Savonia and Karelia according to the Treaty of Nöteborg. I have a more detailed explanation of what areas Sweden and Oreshek should own in 1337 in my Map of Finland thread. Oreshek is also currently missing territory. In 1333, in addition to Korela and Oreshek, which Oreshek currently own in-game, Narimantas also received Ladoga and "half of Koporye". I haven't unfortunately found any information about what "half of Koporye" means precisely. Oreshek should also be given the northern coast of Lake Ladoga, as Novgorod also ruled over so called Ladoga Karelia as part of Karelia. (More detailed explanation in my my thread.) I'm not sure how far north in Korela Novgoridian authority reached in 1337 or how it should be represented in game. The non-coastal parishes are known to have been settled in the 15th century (Kitee, Suojärvi, Ilomantsi). Many maps that represent the time period show all of Korela as part of Novgorod, but this is most likely anachronistic. The situation is complicated by Novgorod claiming all of northern Finland all the way up to the Bothnian Bay for itself according to the Nöteborg treaty, but Sweden slowly colonialized the area anyway.

It is also important to note that Narimantas's son Patrikas controlled even more territory than his father, practically all of Vodskaya Pyatina.

Locations
View attachment 1162217

Many locations have been changed and renamed to be more historical. I tried to match the density of the original locations, but I don't know if the devs are planning on increasing the density. The names are all in Finnish for consistency. Most information is from Finnish, Swedish and Russian Wikipedia. The main map used as reference is this map of administrative counties in 1635, which is based on maps from 1959 Atlas of Finnish History by Eino Jutikkala. Maps from savonhistoria.fi were also used as reference, mainly this map showcasing Savonian church parish borders in 1618 and 1635 and this map of Savonian parish borders in 1870, which I used as reference for splitting apart Iisalmi and Kuopio. Ingrian locations utilize this map of 17th century Ingria from This blog post has a more detailed version of the map, but unfortunately it doesn't tell where the map is from. This book has information about Finnish and Swedish congregations in Ingria, which I used as a source for Swedish names of Ingrian parishes. Explanations for the locations alongside names in different languages are available in the spoilers below. Russian names are both in Latin and Cyrillic, in case the romanizations have errors or Paradox prefers to use another romanization standard.

Spoiler: Viborg locations

Finnish	Swedish	Russian	Notes
Jääski	Jäskis	Yaski, Yaaski or Yaskis (Яски, Яаски or Яскис)	Moved to a more historical position. Replaces Heinjoki, which only became independent from the municipality of Muolaa in 1869.
Kivennapa	Kivinebb	Kivennapa or Kivinebb (Ки́веннапа or Кивинебб)	Replaces Valkeasaari, which is in Ingria and not former Swedish Karelia.
Lappeenranta	Villmanstrand	Lappeenranta or Vilmanstrand (Лаппеэнранта or Вильманстранд)	Could also be called Lapvesi (Lappvesi), as the city of Lappeenranta was only established in 1649. I don't think this is needed, however, as the name Lappeenranta doesn't reference any 17th century person and the name would only be inaccurate for half of the game.
Muolaa	Mola	Muolaa (Муолаа)	Replaces Kyyrölä, which only became an independent municipality in 1890. Also has an older Swedish name Mohla.
Pyhtää	Pyttis	Pyukhtya, Pyukhtyaa or Pyuttis (Пюхтя, Пю́хтяа or Пю́ттис)	Replaces Kotka, which was only established in 1879.
Ruokolahti	Ruokolax	Ruokolakhti (Руоколахти)	Replaces current Jääski (Jäskis), which is too far north.
Savitaipale	Savitaipale	Savitaypale (Савитайпале)	Replaces Kouvola, which only started developing in the 1870s and became an independent municipality in 1922.
Uusikirkko	Nykyrka	Uusikirkko (Уусикиркко)
Vehkalahti	Veckelax	Vekhkalakhti or Vekelaks (Вехкалахти or Векелакс)	Could also be called Hamina (Swe. Fredrikshamn, Rus. Khamina or Fridrikhsgam (Ха́мина or Фридрихсгам)), like its currently named. The name comes from the 18th century King Fredrik I, so it would be nonsensical for most of the game.
Viipuri	Vyborg	Vyborg (Выборг)	Ideally the borders of Vyborg should follow historical parish borders like shown in the map. This is because in 1493 John, King of Denmark, allied with Grand Prince Ivan to pressure the Swedish regent Sten Sture the Elder to acknowledge John's sovereignty over Sweden under the Kalmar Union. He promised that if Ivan was able to take control of Sweden, the border of the Treaty of Nöteborg would be restored. According to Savon historia, in 1501 the Russians revealed John's promises to have been larger, promising to restore the borders predating the Nöteborg treaty. This would mean losing the parishes of Jääski, Äyräpää and Savilahti to Moscow according to their old borders. This means all of Savonia and the eastern parts of the Viborg province, with Viborg remaining part of Sweden. According to historian Kyösti Julku in his book Suomen itärajan synty, the pre-Nöteborg border very closely followed the borders of the Viborg parish in the 17th century. So if the restoration of this border happened in an alt-history scenario, the eastern border of Vyborg would form the border between Sweden and Moscow in Karelia.
Virolahti	Vederlax	Virolakhti or Vederlaks (Ви́ролахти or Ведерлакс)

Spoiler: Kexholm locations

The Karelian names are pretty uncertain, as I was uable to find any good consistent sources for them. Karelian place names seem to be dependent on dialect and I'm not sure if the Karelian names on Wikipedia are even from the same dialect.

Finnish	Karelian	Swedish	Russian	Notes
Ilomantsi	Il’manči or Ilomančči	Ilomants	Ilomantsi (Иломантси)	Moved east to replace Möhkö, as that's where the center of the parish and the lake the parish is named after is situated.
Juuka		Juga	Yuuka (Юука)
Kitee		Kides	Kityaga (Китьяга)
Kontiolahti		Kontiolax	Kontiolakhti (Контиолахти)
Kurkijoki		Kronoborg	Kurkiyoki (Куркиёки)	Replaces Lahdenpohja, as Lahdenpohja wouldn't become independent until 1924.
Käkisalmi	Kägöisalmi	Kexholm	Korela (Коре́ла)
Liperi		Libelits	Liperi (Липери)	Replaces Joensuu, as Joensuu was only a village that was part of Kontiolahti during the game's timeframe. On the other hand, the parish of Liperi has existed since 1630.
Nurmes		Nurmes	Nurmes (Нурмес)
Pielisjärvi		Pielisjärvi	Pielisyarvi (Пиелисъярви)	Replaces Lieksa, as Lieksa belonged to the parish of Pielisjärvi during the game's timeframe.
Sakkula	Sakkula	Sakkula	Sakkula (Саккула)	Replaces Konevets, as Konevets is merely an island near the coast, though the monestary on the island is noteable and old.
Salmi	Salmi	Salmis	Solomyane (Соломяне)	The modern Russian name is Салми (Salmi), but, according to the Russian Wikipedia page for Salmi, it was originally Соломенский погост (Solomensky pogost). However, Solomensky is an adjective. Google translate is a bit weird sometimes, but it seems the proper name is Соломяне (Solomyane). This source seems to agree.
Sortavala	Sortavala	Sordavala	Serdobol (Сердоболь)
Suistamo	Suistamo	Sujstamo	Suystamo (Суйстамо)	The territories of Loimola (Loymola) are given to Suistamo and Suojärvi, as Loimola only became a municipality in 2006.
Suojärvi	Suojärvi	Suojärvi	Suoyarvi (Суоярви)
Tohmajärvi		Tohmajärvi	Tokhmayarvi (Тохмаярви)	Replaces Värtsilä, which was part of Tohmajärvi until 1920.
Uukuniemi		Uguniemi	Uukuniemi (Уукуниеми)

Spoiler: Savolax locations

Finnish	Swedish	Russian	Notes
Iisalmi	Idensalmi	Iysalmi (И́йсалми)
Joroinen	Jorois	Yoroynen or Yoroys (Йоройнен or Йоройс)
Juva	Jockas	Yuva (Ю́ва)	Replaces Ristiina, as Juva is one of the oldest parishes in Savonia, while Ristiina was established only in 1649 and it was named after a contemporary person, Kristina, the wife of Count Per Brahe the Younger.
Kangasniemi	Kangasniemi	Kangasniemi (Кангасниеми)
Kerimäki	Kerimäki	Kerimyaki (Керимяки)	Replaces Savonranta, as Kerimäki is the older parish in the area (Kerimäki became a parish in 1642 while Savonranta became independent in 1868).
Kuopio	Kuopio	Kuopio (Ку́опио)
Leppävirta	Leppävirta	Leppyavirta (Леппявирта)	I made the western borders of Leppävirta follow Russian border demands from 1500 because plausible alt-history is cool.
Mikkeli	S:t Michel	Sankt-Mikhel (Санкт-Михель)
Nilsiä	Nilsiä	Nilsiya (Нильсия)	According to nilsia.fi Nilsiä was mentioned as a wilderness area in a 1561 tax list.
Pieksämäki	Pieksämäki	Pieksyamyaki (Пиексямяки)
Pielavesi	Pielavesi	Pielavesi (Пиелавеси)	Existed as a chapelry since 1683 and became an independent parish in 1811.
Savonlinna	Nyslott	Neyshlot (Нейшлот)	Replaces Olavinlinna (Olofsborg), which is the name of a castle, while Savonlinna (Nyslott) is the name of the city built around the castle. The location is situated on the eastern side of the Nöteborg border, as during construction of the castle the Russians complained that the castle was being built on their side of the border. They also demanded for the castle to be ceded to them before the First Russian-Swedish war.

Hatsina	Hottšino (Earlier) or Gattšina (Later)	Gattjina (Later)	Gattschina (Later)	Khotchino (Earlier) or Gatchina (Later) (Хотчино or Га́тчина)	Known since 1499. Originally the name started with an h sound, but around the middle of the 17th century, it was replaced with a g sound. I wasn't able to find the old version of the name in Swedish.
Iivananlinna	Jaanilinn	Ivangorod	Johannstadt or Iwangorod	Ivangorod (Ивангород)	A prominent castle built by and named after Ivan III in 1492, with a town of the same name associated with it. I think it would be crucial to have in the game, though the name could cause some difficulties.
Inkere	Inkere	Ingris		Izhora (Ижора)	Replaces Liissilä, as in 1612, before Swedish rule, Liissilä was a village in the Izhora pogost.

Fulmen had a good point about the wasteland in White Karelia. Many raids were carried out over this area historically, making its representation as a wasteland problematic. This area was historically known as Forest Lapland, Novgorod Lapland or Лопские погосты (Lop' pogosts). It was formed as an administrative entity by Ivan III at the end of the 15th century and in 1650 they were transferred from the Novgorodsky Uyezd to the Olonetsky Uyezd. In game the Lop' pogosts could maybe either be part of White Karelia or form their own province. This article has good maps of the area from different years in both Russian and Finnish. Also, the border against Finland regardless if the area is a wasteland or not should definitely follow the historical border set in the Treaty of Teusina. My Finland thread has a detailed explanation of this too.

The romanization of Russian place names seems to be inconsistent. In English the j sound is usually romanized as y (й = y not j, ю = yo not jo, я = ya not ja) to be more intuitive for English speakers. Currently there are some places romanized with y such as Plyussa while some are romanized with j, such as Koporje (in Wikipedia its Koporye). There are many romanization systems for Russian, and I'm not an expert on them or which ones is the most popular, but it would be good for the romanization system to be consistent in game.

I want to quote this really nice post by @Ipponen from Russian map thread here to make sure it's not missed

Lyckeby was first mentioned in 1449. it properly wasn't around in 1337

Do you know of a better alternative?

Mökhö -> Motko (if we go by the finnish name of the russian village)

The Finnish name is Muotka. According to Wikipedia, the village was founded only in 1959, so quite recently even compared to Möhkö on the Finnish side of the border. But that corner of Finland is also covered two posts above me, and I consider those suggestions as quite viable indeed.

The location borders here are a bit weird. Paltamo and Kajaani are basically on the very edges of the location borders, while Sotkamo might be in the Nurmes location? Hard to say without a 1-to-1 overlay.

We need better names for the "Paltamo" and "Sotkamo" locations then.

Why have you named the area Oslo that instead of Kristiania, that was the name of the city before they changed it?

Because it was called Oslo until 1624.
