I think it takes place in Spain. This is because, in the book, San Ildefonso is mentioned
repeatedly (Moeri, 183). San Ildefonso is in Spain.

I think Louise Moeri did not tell the specific location because she wanted to make a point that child soldiers are used all over the place, not in just the country where this
book is set in.

Yes, Finland requires nine months of military service from men when they turn eighteen. I feel that this is sensible, I can see why the government 
has set this rule. Finland is a
small country with a small population. So
if military service was completely optional, the
military would be too small. I don't feel that it is unfair.
