Finnmark[2] (Norwegian: [ˈfɪ̀nːmɑrk] (listen); Northern Sami: Finnmárku [ˈfinːmaːrku]; Kven: Finmarku; Finnish: Ruija [ˈrui̯jɑ]; Russian: Финнмарк) is the county in Norway, that is farthest to the North, and farthest to the East. It became a county again in 2024.
On 28 October 2021, the Norwegian government confirmed that work has started in regard to Finnmark becoming a separate county again. [3] Previously, on 1 January 2020 Finnmark was merged with the neighboring county of Troms to form the new Troms og Finnmark county.[4]
