Scandinavia
Region of northern Europe, usually defined as comprising Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. It is sometimes used more broadly to include Finland and Iceland. Norway and Sweden occupy the Scandinavian Peninsula, though Denmark is part of the North European Plain. The Scandinavian peoples are linked by cultural similarities, and they speak a closely related group of Germanic languages.

Scandinavia is a region in Northern Europe named after the Scandinavian Peninsula.The most common definition includes Denmark, mainland Norway, and Sweden. Sometimes Finland is included, even in official contexts, although since the rise of Scandinavism in 1850s, this inclusion divides opinions in all of the respective states. The usage and meaning of the term in unofficial contexts varies:
In the English language: "Scandinavia" is sometimes used as a synonym for the Nordic countries.
In Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland: Finland is not always regarded as a part of Scandinavia.
In Germany: Norway, Sweden and Finland are usually included, but Denmark is not.
The Nordic countries are Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, with the addition of the autonomous territories of Ã
land, Faroe Islands and Greenland.
