Helsinki

City-State Trait: The Suzerain can not declare Wars.

City-State Type: Scientific

History:
In the Iron Age the area occupied by present-day Helsinki was inhabited by Tavastians. They used the area for fishing and hunting, but due to a lack of archeological finds it is difficult to say how extensive their settlements were. Swedes colonized the coastline of the Helsinki region in the late 13th century after the successful Second Crusade to Finland, which led to the defeat of the Tavastians. Helsinki was founded under the name "Helsingfors" in 1550 by Gustavus Vasa, King of Sweden, in order to compete with Reval (currently Tallinn, the capital of Estonia), then a flourishing Hanseatic city. The city was burned down and occupied by the Russians at war with the Swedes during the Great Northern War between 1713 and 1721, and again in 1742. After Sweden's defeat in its war against Russia of 1808-1809, Finland is annexed to the Russian Empire. Helsingfors became on April 8, 1812 then the capital of an autonomous grand duchy, and therefore experienced considerable development. In 1917, with the independence of Finland, Helsinki becomes the new official name of the city which is also capital of the new republic.

This isn't all that bad of an idea, but I've had two other ideas for a useful Helsinki city state myself, which I think have modern historical precedent.

Helsinki as an Industrial city state:
+1 Diplomatic favor if your carbon emmissions penalty is 0.
An additional +1 from the Modern Era onwards
This is a reference to Finland's ongoing attempts at receiving recognition for their considerable forestation as a source of a carbon sink

Helsinki as a Cultural city state:
Receive a second free Rock Band unit upon purchasing a Rock Band.
This is reference to the overabundance of heavy metal bands originating from Finland

Your City State mods are great. My siblings play on the same game, and they didn't even know that they were mods

I have a suggestion for a city-state. Please do Phoenix, AZ it's my home state's capital. If it's possible can you make it a trade city-state and have the picture be a cactus?

As Finland will soon be in NATO, an actually useful suzerain bonus would be more appropriate. A sauna as a building or as an improvement would seem like a good choice for a suzerain bonus.

Fundamentally having Helsinki as this city state in the game is completely stupid and undermines a lot of potential in the game. Maybe if the suzerain bonus would give a defensive bonus or additional grievances against the aggressor if the suzerain were to be attacked, it would make a lot more sense.

Otherwise it's fun in general to have my country's capital as a city state, and the suzerain bonus I so eagerly criticize is actually quite clever. I give this a thumbs up, I love the moose even though the lion would fit better.
