The State Provincial Office on the Åland Islands represents the Finnish central government on the Åland Islands. Due to its autonomy, it has somewhat different functions than similar offices in other Provinces of Finland. Generally a State Provincial Office is a joint regional authority of seven different ministries of the Government of Finland. In Åland the State Provincial Office also represents a set of other authorities of the central government, which in mainland-Finland has separate bureaucracies. On the other hand duties, which on mainland-Finland are handled by the provincial offices, are transferred to the autonomous government of Åland.
