Which are the Nordic Countries ?

The Nordic countries consist of Denmark, the Faroe Islands, Greenland, Finland, Åland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. The Faroe Islands and Greenland are both part of the kingdom of Denmark, and Åland is part of the republic of Finland. The Nordic region has a population of 25 million.

Denmark, Norway and Sweden are all monarchies. Iceland and Finland are republics.
Regardless of the form of government, the heads of state in the Nordic countries have relatively little power. All the countries have a democratic constitution dating from the 19th century, and, with the exception of the Norwegian constitution, they have all been revised several times.

Summary ? ;)

Nordic Countries = Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden.

Scandinavia = Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
