First; What constitutes Scandinavia and the Nordic Countries is not defined in concrete.



Scandinavia (from the Scandinavian Peninsula) included Norway, Sweden, Denmark (southern part of Sweden was once Danish) and sometimes Finland (Finland was once under Swedish rule way back).

Sometimes Scandinavia is used for just Norway, Sweden and Denmark given the similarities in their languages (sorry Finland, but Suomi is quite incomprehensible).



Nordic countries used to be Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland including Åland and the Faeroe Islands and sometimes Greenland (as it is under Denmark). This was based on the Nordic Political Cooperation.

After the end of the cold war it's my understanding that the Nordic Countries now also includes Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. They are a part of the Nordic Cooperation.



So if you ask me Nordic should include: Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania including Åland, the Faeroe Islands. Svalbard and Greenland.

And by this I mean the geographical region these countries represent, not the ethnicity of the people who live there which is irrelevant.



Just my 2p worth.

I am not a leader, but I am in the search for one.The nordic countries share a strong cultural bond that hopefully could make us a power to reckon with in the Elite world. Is there an interest to unite within the community?Looking back at history we have done it before. The Vikings were not one country, but many regions working together. We have had the Kalmar Union and we definitely have a history from both the 21th and 20th century of working well together.It would be a wonderful experience seeing us come together in the year of 3302! Is there any leaders or groups of players out there who are willing to accept this mission?I for one would follow!Update 1:Cmdr Gimi came up with countries who would make up this coalition. Do you all agree?Thank you for your time Cmdrso7Dartagnan Castelmore
