AI overview

I cannot write the overview based on this context because it contains contradictory information. The context states that Savonlinna is "the most populous municipality in Finland," which contradicts the earlier statement that it has a population of approximately (a blank figure). Additionally, this claim appears factually implausible, as it would contradict well-documented information about Finnish municipalities. Without accurate population figures or clarification, I cannot provide a reliable overview.
