It was reaffirmed within the treaty admitting Finland to the European Union<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union>. By law, Åland is politically neutral and entirely demilitarised, and residents are exempt from conscription<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conscription> to the Finnish Defence Forces<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_Defence_Forces>. The islands were granted extensive autonomy by the Parliament of Finland<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliament_of_Finland> in the Act on the Autonomy of Åland of 1920, which was later replaced by new legislation by the same name in 1951 and 1991<http://www.finlex.fi/en/laki/kaannokset/1991/en19911144.pdf> . In connection with Finland's admission to the European Union<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union>, a protocol was signed concerning the Åland Islands that stipulates, among other things, that provisions of theEuropean Community Treaty<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Community_Treaty> shall not force a change of the existing restrictions for foreigners (i.e., persons who do not enjoy "home region rights" *(hembygdsrätt)* in Åland) to acquire and hold real property or to provide certain services, implying a recognition of a separate nationality<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationality> .
