Finland and baltics are northern Europe, not eastern.

And yet few people would argue the same of Murmansk, mostly north of Helsinki. We really need to consider history here, as well. Specifically which side of the iron curtain they were on.

I think you might be mixing different things here, because it's fucked up shit

Northern Europe: British isles, Scandinavia, Finland, Baltics

Nordics: Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Greenland, Iceland, Faraoe islands

Scandinavia: Sweden, Norway, Denmark

Scandinavian peninsula: Sweden, Norway, North-western Finland

Fennoscandia: Finland, Sweden, Norway, Murmansk oblast, parts of Karelia and Leningrad oblasts

And there's more stupid definitions for differently divided areas because fuck you

Oh, well sure. If you allow them to overlap there's no reason you can't be in both Northern and Eastern Europe.

Perhaps some kind of North-East.
