I wonder if people know that Finland isn't scandinavian.  Nor is  Iceland If meant Fenno-Scandia, it's with  Finland, but without  Denmark and Iceland. 'The Nordic countries' is the right term  (   ) YES, memorize this girls & boys! ;D |

In addition to the mainland Scandinavian countries of:  Denmark (Constitutional monarchy with a Parliamentary system) Norway (Constitutional monarchy with a Parliamentary system, independent since 1905) Sweden (Constitutional monarchy with a Parliamentary system) the Nordic countries consist of:  Faroe Islands (an autonomous country within the Danish Realm, self-governed since 1948) Finland (Parliamentary republic, independent since 1917)  Åland Islands (an autonomous province of Finland since 1920)  Greenland (an autonomous country within the Danish Realm, self-governed since 1979)  Iceland (Parliamentary republic, independent since 1918, but in union with Denmark until 1944) Svalbard, which is under Norwegian sovereignty, is not considered part of Scandinavia as a cultural-historical region, but as a part of the Kingdom of Norway (since 1925), it is part of the Nordic countries (Norden). |

Why are Scandinavian countries always so overrated?. It's usually the wrong of their songs that are overrated too  I did mean Sweden, Norway and Denmark. And I mean by "Eurofans", not the actual televoters. Every single year I see eurofans go crazy over a Swedish or Danish song, 2013 being no different. Norway's songs are hugely overrated by eurofans and usually deserve their bad results in Eurovision (2007, 2010, 2011 and 2012 being great examples) In 2010, Sweden failed to qualify with a highly dubbed song, though I don't think any Nordic countries will fail this year, it would be hilarious if one of them did. Finland, however is very underrated in the contest, I think they should have qualified in 2004, 2005, 2010 and 2012 (though not in 2009 ). Besides in 2007, I've liked all Finnish songs. Iceland is varying in what good songs they send. Iceland was underrated in 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2011 (and probably in 2013) and was hugely overrated in 2006 and 2009. Don't even get me started on how overrated Sweden is  |
