Scandinavia is a region in northern Europe that includes Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Finland is often considered a Scandinavian country in common English usage, and Iceland and the Faroe Islands are sometimes also included. And this region is a European region north of the Baltic Sea. At almost 1.2 million square kilometres (463,000 square miles) it is the largest region in Europe, but home to only around 24 million people, accounting for a mere 4% of the population. Today, the nations cooperate mainly in the European Union or the Nordic Council. The Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish languages form a dialect continuum and are known as the Scandinavian languages—all of which share a degree of mutual intelligibility with each other.
