Aything happening in Scandiland?
...
Ja det er fint. Men nu var spørgsmålet jo om Skandinavien
Question was in english, so it was about Scandinavia (not Skandinavien). I don't know what countries "Skandinavien" includes, but English dictionary says following:

[Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English]
SCANDINAVIAN
1. of the countries Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland in northern Europe, or their people or languages.

[The Random House Encyclopaedia]
SCANDINAVIA
1. region of northern Europe consisting of
the kingdoms of Sweden, Norway and Denmark;
culturally and historically Finland and Iceland
are often considered part of this area.


If you want to think it geographically, then Scandinavian Peninsula includes Norway, Sweden and northern part of Finland.
