13. nope, just Denmark, Norway, and Sweden
are the official ones.

Sometimes Finland and Iceland are included since they are close by.

8. Then again, Finland's the only one with successful modern war experience..
If they could hold the Soviets back, they'd have a chance against Norway!

12. were the finns scandinavians, they'd
win, without a doubt. Don't mess with the Finns... in the Russo-Finnish Winter War of 1939-1940, the Russians said they won just enough land to bury all their dead -- the Finns "managed to inflict in between 230,000 and 270,000 fatalities plus 200,000-300,000 injuries on Russia, while losing 48,745 troops and enduring 159,000 other casualties during the campaign" :
