`  Hi good finding there ). So now we see there IS English encyclopedia's who use the correct form for Scandinavia (Den, Swe and Nor).  I don't agree with Denmark not is ``geographic`` Scandinavia. Remember Scandinavia is not the strictly geographic word witch only is used on some maps ``The Scandinavian Peninsula``. You also need to remember that in old days seafaring was much faster than land travel. And the population in Norway live on the south and west coast. While the mainly the population in Sweden live south, and west to. There live almost no one in north Norway, north Sweden or north Finland (where Swe and Fin is connected) for that case.
