Hello,

[nation_sami]

name=_("Sami")
plural=_("?plural:Sami")
groups="European"
legend=_("The Sami, or Lapps, are a people of northern Scandinavia.
Their\
nation spans over the northernmost regions of the Scandinavian
countries:\
Finnmark of Norway and Lapland of Sweden and Finland.")

Jens Seidel told me that the term 'Lapps' probably shouldn't be used,
