the three countries in scandinavia are denmark, sweden, and norway. finland and iceland CAN be considered scandinavian if you are speaking more BROADLY, but a much better term for the group of five is "nordic countries." maybe Nancy can weigh in here...
anyway, now you know how trvial pursuit defines scandinavia...kinda. i don't know if they include iceland or not.

Having been in Finland and got a speeding ticket, I luckily figured that out when the officer asked me my salary when writing the ticket. Instead of my pride saying my full salary, I downplayed it to half of that. Thank goodness because it was a shocker when he told me what the fine was to be.
