Finland has very few natural resources, mainly just forests. And the forestry industry experienced a major decline around the same time as Nokia did.

And there is a long border with Russia, one of the worst neighbours any country could have.

Looking at most relevant data it is hard to make an argument the Nokia is doing worse today that it was just before Microsoft bought it. Nokia's market cap is currently close to double what it was compared to the year before Microsoft 'destroyed' it.
