That's cuz it isn't. I's a region, like Europe or North America or South America. Many countries are contained within Scandinavia.
-
It's not, it's a region made up of several countries. Oh I get it, you're thumbing your nose at AB's categories. Hurrah for you. :o)

It's not Scandinavia is a region of northern Europe that geographically consists of Norway and Sweden (two countries that form the Scandinavian Peninsula) and the country of Denmark. In modern times, Finland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands (Faeroe) are also considered a part of this geographical area, especially in terms of cultural and historic relationships.

It's not a country... I live in scandinavia, but the country i live in is Norway :)
-
Only on AB is Scandinavia a country. But the internet has this uncanny ability to allow anything to happen. It's easy, it's virtual.
-
No, I didn't know that, because it's not true.
-
I'm pretty sure it's not.
-
No. But Erik The Red got kicked out of it. Therefore he sailed onward to Iceland and explored that. He got kicked outta there too! Then he went to Greenland and explored that. That's all. The reason he got kicked out so many times is because Erik the Red was a viking.

It's an Answerbag thing, listing a region as a country. How did that happen?
-
It isn't. How can you NOT know that?
-
It is not a single country, it is a group of countries.

Ok, just to be contrary to the tide here ... Scandinavia is a country ... in one sense of the word: an area inhabited primarily by one cultural or ethnic group. It is not a nation. Nor is it a state. But it is a country in the sense that Germany and Italy were countries centuries before they were unified into single "nation states". There are of course differences between Swedes, Finns, Norwegians, Danes, and Icelanders, and differences between their languages, but those difference are not much greater that what one saw (and still sees to a lesser degree) between Prussians, Saxons, Bavarians, Swabians, et al.

*oops: I forgot Finnish is a radically different language (Central Asian in origin), but Finnland was ruled by the Swedes until Peter the Great took it from them, and it has always had close cultural and economic ties with Sweden ever since.

Yes I did, back in the day, I had a friend who used to bring hash from there...it was good!
-
Scandinavia is not a country, it's just a region with the countries Denmark, Norway and Sweden. If you add Finland and Iceland (as well as the Danish colonies Faroe Islands and Greenland), it's called the "Nordic Region".
-
I know right? I cant believe it's a category x3 I dont think they should put 'bundled' countries like Scandinavia and the UK, they should list them individually, at least they do that too XD
-
Yes I did know that.
