F Countries


There are three 'F' countries in the world: Fiji, Finland, and France.

The A to Z categories are based on the English language and inadvertently might not include all native country names.

There are only three countries in the world that start with the letter F. Two of them are in Europe, while the other one is in Oceania, the general name for a vast collection of island countries in the Pacific Ocean. Another country in Oceania could be considered an F country: the Federated States of MICRONESIA (FSM), also simply known as Micronesia.

FIJI: Located north of New Zealand, west of Tonga, east of Vanuatu and New Caledonia (belongs to France), and south of Tuvalu, Fiji is located in the South Pacific Ocean about 1,800 miles east of the Cape York Peninsula in northern Australia. The capital, Suva, is located on the southeastern coast of the oval-shaped Viti Levu, the largest island in Fiji.
FINLAND: One of the most northernmost countries in Europe, Finland is east of Sweden and the Gulf of Bothnia, west of Russia, and north of Estonia and the Gulf of Finland. Norway borders the northern part of Finland. Helsinki, the capital with a population greater than 1 million in the total metropolitan area, is situated along the southern coast. A web of highways connect Helsinki with cities located among thousands of lakes in Central Finland.

FRANCE: A well-known developed nation in Western Europe, France borders seven countries. It is north of Andorra, northeast of Spain, south/southwest of Belgium, southwest of Germany and Luxembourg, and west of Italy and Switzerland. It is separated from the United Kingdom to the north by the English Channel. Paris, the economically and financially powerful capital located in northern France, has a population greater than 2 million.
