Jeez, Scandinavian countries showing how it's done again. How come the rest of the world isn't crying in shame all day?

Sorry to be that guy, but Scandinavia is just the "peninsula", so Norway, Sweden and Denmark. The Nordics is us three, Finland, Iceland, Färöarna, Åland and Greenland. Basically what you probably think of when you think of Scandinavia.

But yes, we rule 😎
