I have gathered information from genome-wide studies concerning subpopulations of Finns, and it seems that there are altogether 7 different Finnish populations which all differ from each other more than Swedish, German and English differ from each other.
The smallest FST-distance between these Finnish populations are 20 (from Mid-Laplanders to West- and East-Laplanders) and 26 (from Southwest-Finnish to Bothnians), while the biggest FST-distance within population are 26 (from North-Karelians to South-Kainuu) and 23 (from Satakunta to Tavastians).
To compare, the smallest FST-distance between other European populations are 5 (from Germans to English) and 7 (from Germans to Swedish), and the biggest FST-distance within population is 20 (from South-Swedish to North-Swedish).
