'''Finland''' is the other of the two countries that physically appear in INFRA, only during the [[Ending 3|Party Like it's 2011]] ending. It is also the country where INFRA's protagonist, [[Markku Siltanen]], is originally from.

===Sweden===

'''Sweden''' is a country that borders Stolland on the south-western side. The southern borders are heavily altered in comparison to its real-life counterpart, as a result of the existence of Stolland primarly on those territories.

Swedish language itself is one of the three official languages of Stolland, as the Swedish population has its minority in the country. Local ATMs, Payment Machines and Parcel Lockers offer user interface in ~~Swedidsh~~ language, as well as [[Stalburg Bank]] is providing a native Swedish-speaking customer support. [[Stalburg Times]] is said to distribute a Swedish-language version, known as the ''Stalborg Tidning'', however such issues are never actually found by the player in either of the games.
