peninsula then Norway and Denmark are Scandinavia.
Heraldric definition:
If Scandinavia is defined as the countries with flags which are variations
on the Dannebrog then Iceland, the Faroes, Norway, Sweden, Denmark,
Finland, Åland, Ingermanland (!), and Karelia (!!!!!!) are Scandinavia.
Iscythophagic definition:
If Scandinavia is defined as the countries where people eat pickled herring
whenever they have the opportunity then Iceland, the Faroes, Norway,
Sweden, Denmark, Finland,and Åland are Scandinavia.
Sociopolitical definition:
If Scandinavia is defined as the countries where Social-Democratic-style
welfare states were etsablished and flourished up until about 1990, then
Iceland, the Faroes, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Åland are

Restrictive linguistic definition:
If Scandinavia is defined as the countries where languages descended from
Old Norse are spoken as the majority language then Iceland, the Faroes,
Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Åland are Scandinavia.
Liberal linguistic definition:

Old Norse are spoken by a significant segment of the indigenous population
and have official status then Iceland, Greenland, the Faroes, Norway,

I live in Keh-yen-tuck-eeyy (trying to make it as many syllables as possible, because, somehow, some people have the ability to make my name, Beth, last for 3 syllables).
I'm fascinated by the Nordic countries. When I retire, I'm moving to either Iceland or Sweden....preferably Iceland.
