In this video I explain the difference between the Nordic countries and Scandinavia, as well as other relevant terms in the region, such as the Scandinavian peninsula and Fennoscandia.

Would you consider Shetland and Orkney to be Nordic? They're in the same region as the Faroe islands and most residents are descendants of Nordic people

Ok so 1. Iceland is no longer called the Republic of Iceland and we haven't named that for a while. And 2. Svandinavia at its core refers to the Scandinavian peninsula which includes Sweden, most of Norway, and Northwest Finland.

I always found the whole constituent country formulation really confusing and not aligning with colloquial speech. Like someone might refer to a region as a country. That’s normal. But the term is often conflated with country meaning a sovereign state. Like that happens all the time for the UK, as if Scotland being a designated country is the same as being a sovereign UN member state. I wish “autonomous region” or something would just become the global standard somehow.

In my opinion it’s time to let Estonia be a nice small Nordic country. Estonia very deserves to be a Nordic country, because Estonia has done a lot of work, we have many smart people, we are good at digital things, we have northern lights and we are very similar to Finland and other Nordic countries like: Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Greenland. We are not similar to Latvia and Lithuania and the other Eastern Europe countries. It’s time to stop calling Estonia Eastern Europe country and Baltic country and forget all this terrible, rude and mean Soviet times. Let’s just stop this Eastern Europe and Soviet stigma thing and let Estonia turn the new page and let them be a normal small Nordic country next to Sweden and Finland!!! Estonians call themselves the Nordic country and many other people and tourists had also said that Estonia should be a Nordic country, because Estonian people are Finnic people not Balts and we are more similar to Scandinavia. Yes many people had agreed with that Estonia must belong to the Nordic group and seperate from Latvia and Lithuania. They don’t even need these countries, because Estonians communicate more with Finns and other Scandinavian countries. Estonia will be a very good partner for the other Nordic countries. We will do a very great work and we will be very strong!!! 🙏🙂🇪🇪

Finland was part of Scandinavia, but has later turned into an unwanted bastard child that the other Scandinavian countries don't want to recognize. If Finland was still part of Sweden, as it was for almost 700 years, no one would question Finland (Eastern Sweden) as part of Scandinavia. As a little tidbit, let me tell you that Skåne has been a part of Sweden for a shorter time than Finland was at the time. On the other hand, no part of Denmark even belongs to Scandinavia geographically, but is considered an integral part of it. Scandinavia or the Nordic countries are a region where people's culture, geography and history are intertwined, and in the border areas it is sometimes difficult to notice that you are moving from one country to another. I have at least Danish, Swedish and Finnish blood in my heritage, so I am a Scandinavian who lives in Finland or a Finn who lives in Scandinavia. Oh, and I'm also European and damn proud of it all.

Very weird, cuz Finland was ranked the best country 2019 by World economic Forum conference in Switzerland Davos. Also Finland was ranked the happiest country 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 by World happines index report and UN. The other scandinavian countries should be proud of Finland or are they just jealous? Everybody can google about it. In both cases the reasons are approximately the same. Finland is on the top almost in every category.

You're not Drawing the Map Accurately. On the Other side of Stockholm is Russia. Finland? Sana Marin? Just one City like Stockholm. On the Other side is Russia. The Reason She's been getting her f4nny out, is to Make the Soviets come to North Pole (Poland). They're going to France.
