Ask 5 people and you get 5 different answers.

Plenty of officials of various types made statements to the Germans, though these were more in a way of personal opinions. I don't think there are any official documents available that show the intentions of those in power in regards to this question.

The White (or Viena) Karelia would have been one area for sure along with East Karelia. Both of which Mannerheim mentions in his 'Sword Scabbard' order of 1918 and again in 1941:

Possible the Kola Peninsula as well.
