·         Scandinavia is a historical and geographical region centred on the Scandinavian Peninsula in Northern Europe, which includes, depending on various interpretations, most commonly the nations of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and on occasion Finland, Iceland, along with their associated territories: The Faroe Islands, The Åland Islands and Greenland.

·         Sources do often limit the word "Scandinavia" to describe only the three kingdoms of Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, but it sometimes is extended to cover Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland; or Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland.

·         Regardless how the word "Scandinavia" is defined, the term Nordic countries is used to denote all of the above-mentioned nations and territories as one collective group
