Please don't put Switzerland in Scandinavia. It is not the same as Sweden.


Also, please don't put Finland and Iceland in Scandinavia.

Scandinavia = Denmark, Norway and Sweden.

The Nordic Countries = Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Faroes, Greenland, Svalbard and Åland Islands.


I agree with you! But read the original poll choice:

  Scandinavia (incl. Finland and Iceland)


Now we're getting into semantics, but the point is, it says "including", and you can't "include" Finland and Iceland into Scandinavia. That would be like saying "North America (including Brazil and Chile)".

You could, however, say, Scandinavia PLUS Finland and Iceland - but that's not what OP wrote.


I agree with you! I'm just dealing with the data we've been given.
