Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. The broader Nordic Region also includes the autonomous territories of Greenland and the Faroe Islands, which are part of the Kingdom of Denmark, as well as the Åland Islands, an autonomous region of Finland.
These countries and territories share strong historical, cultural, and political ties while maintaining their own governments, languages, and distinct national or regional identities.
Scandinavia is a region in Northern Europe most commonly defined as comprising three countries: Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. These nations share close historical, cultural, and linguistic connections, particularly through their closely related North Germanic languages.
The Faroe Islands and Greenland are autonomous territories within the Kingdom of Denmark. Although they belong to the Nordic Region, they are not generally considered part of Scandinavia under its narrower definition.
In short, all Scandinavian countries are Nordic countries, but not all Nordic countries are Scandinavian.
