Just to set the record straight: a game developer didn't come up with the concept of Finlandization. The term was long used by scholars in geopolitics to refer to the situation of Finland, which although internally free, had aspects of its foreign policy more or less dictated by the Soviet Union.

You are correct...I should have said "my introduction to the concept" was courtesy of the game Balance of Power. Which is interesting, but perhaps not HN comment-worthy.
