Which countries make up Scandinavia?

Scandinavia includes Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. However, Iceland and Finland are sometimes also included. Iceland has a Scandinavian population and the national language, Icelandic, is Scandinavian. Finland is sometimes included beecause part of it lies on the Scandinavian Peninsula, but the majority of the population are Finns, who speak Finnish, an Uralic language. Both Iceland and Finland have been dominated by Scandinavians somewhere in their history. Usually, one of the Danish self-governing regions, the Faroe Islands, is excluded from the term Scandinavia, but like Iceland and Finland it is sometimes included due to its relations with Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. A wider term, the Nordic Countries, includes Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, Finland, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands, and the two shouldn't be confused.
