Ah... Now I remember something from the geography lessons... 
Geographically taken "Scandinavia" consists only Norway, Sweden and 
Denmark! In that case both Finland AND Iceland are counted out. 
Geopolitically taken "Scandinavia" is all these five countries together, 
but then term "Scandinavia" is actually wrong... We call them 
"pohjoismaat" in Finnish but is there a word for that in English? "The 
Nordic countries" says my dictionary...

Well, as long as we're not part of Russia...!
