Ragnar and the rest is right. Scandinavia is a term populized in midt 19th century and is the geografical defined area for the idea "Scandinavism" bacially the notion that the three Scandinavian countries share a special bond based on closely related languages, Danish, Swedish and "Bookmaal" East Norwegian the East Scandinavian languages(Icelandic, West Norwegian and Faroe language is West Scandinavian), culture and religion.
And for the majority of the existance of Denmark we shared a land border with Sweden, until the loss of Scania in 1658

I consider Scandinavia to be Denmark, Norway, Finland, Sweden, and Iceland. Yes - Iceland. But that's just me and my strange ways.

Actually you're right, thats exactly what I think, maybe with Greenland included. Bono was wrong at the beginning of this thread, Denmark is in Scandanavia.

I remember this article from a while ago when it was in the Times (NY). the link seems to say August 2003, which makes me wonder why it was brought up now. Kansas aside, the Denmark story is 2 years old.

Grossbøll's suspention was canselled last week and he helt his first ceremony this sunday. The church was full, which is very uncommon in Denmark.
