Scandinavia, the Crown of Civilisation: Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Iceland
Scandinavian countries have become the most highly developed nations, culturally superior to the rest of the world, the true crowns of human civilisation. They epitomizeEurope's society-first democracy
and capitalism. They lead the world in many endeavours of Human development, science and social development. This page is witness to much of that success. But no human endeavour is without downfalls, Scandinavia has some crime, some very expensive living costs and (oddly) the occasional high suicide rate.There are 8 locations that fall within this category. By adding up all the known populations that fall within these locations, and summing their physical land areas, we can calculate population densities. Some islands and territories can end up being counted twice depending on how they are classified and divided up politically, but, mostly such errors involve only small populations. So, some data on this collection of countries in total:
Compare to other regions of the world
- Total Population: 27.12 million
- Total Land Area: 1 204 946 km2
- Independent States: 6
- Other Territories: 2
