What Scandanavian country is the poorest besides Iceland?

Answer 1

Geographically there are just two Scandinavia countries Norway and Sweden and some times Finland is taken in to the Scandinavian countries as Sweden and Finland have once been one country for hundreds of years. In matter of fact all the Nordic countries are rich. You can measure the wealth in different ways.
Norway is one of the most wealthy countries in the word and someone have answered Lappland as a poor part.
All the iron mines and the biggest water power stations in Sweden are situated in Lappland, it can't be poor, can it?

Answer 2

Lapland is a Scandinavianm region, so it is a region in a region. But it is all across Norway, bits of Sweden and Finland, and a small fraction of Russia. It is very cold, and Eskimo-like people, called the Lapps (very creative name for the region) live here.

Physically, only Norway, Sweden, and Finland are Scandinavia, but the cultures of Denmark and ICeland, including religion, language, and daily life, are so similiar to Sweden and Norway and Finland. All the languages are extremely similiarly except Finnish, which is not Germanic, like Swedish, Norwegian, Icelandic, and Danish.

Answer 3

None of them are poor. Good salaries, and despite paying 60 % of income tax, they actually get healthcare and other benefits with it.
It would have to be more the areas without cities and industries where there is less work and thus less income. Sweden and Finland would have most of the desolate areas without industries in them, but it is all a matter of region, not country.
