The Constitution of the Republic of Karelia, paragraph 12.
Karelia borders on Finland in the west, Leningrad and Vologda regions in the south, Murmansk Region in the north, and Arkhangelsk Region in the east.
Karelia is often descriptively called the "stony lake-forest" land, emphasizing the main elements of the landscape created by countless lakes separated by rocky areas covered with taiga forest.
The republic produces 10% of the iron ore in Russia, 23% of the paper, 9% of the pulp, 7.3% of the industrial wood, 4.0% of the lumber, and nearly 60% of the paper bags.
