It's a fluid definition .. especially outside the nordic countries.
For some the Nordic countries is the same as Scandinavia and Finland is
indeed a Nordic country so it's easy to think this way.

Even the tourist boards seem to think this way :

If you want to be purist about it , then strictly speaking Scandinavia
is only Denmark , Norway and Sweden , but I can accept people counting
Finland, the Faroe Islands, and Iceland part of it too... I know what
they mean so it's noting to get upset about.


Also see :

BTW since Denmark was the first country to legalize pornography
shouldn't we (I'm danish) be known for pornography ?
_I_ should take offense to Tran's statement.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pornography

Also note that Textual Pornography or ASCII porn if you like have not
been written yet..
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Textual_pornography&action=edit

Someone should write something here.
