Is Aland a country?

Asked by Wiki User

No. Aland is an autonomous territory. This means that for all intents and purposes, it may function like an indpendent country, but is actually under the rule of a different country. In the case of Aland, it is actually an autonomous territory of Finland.

A similar case to Aland would be Gibraltar (UK), French Polynesia (France), or Aruba (Netherlands).
