In a Geographical sense it could, of course, as well be used to exclude the other islands off Finland's coast. The term is significant in the context of legal differences between Åland and Mainland Finland, and also in the context of differences of culture, language, history and self-perceived nationhood between the Ålanders and the Finland-Swedes .
