If you just flipped the bottom image it would make a bit more sense geographically. This feels wrong like this.
Both of the maps are wrong. Greenland is not coloured in the top one, but the other one is very bad.
* Åland is missing
* Greenland is a Nordic country similar to Åland and Faroe Islands. They have all three associated memberships of the Nordic Council
* “Danish realm” is a very archaic term, as Denmark since 1956 no longer holds any territories outside of its constitutional area.
Lastly, the Nordic-Baltic cooperation is not a concept but already exists under the name Nordic-Baltic-Eight (NB8).
Is there a difference between Nordic and Scandinavia?
If a Finno-Ugric country like Finland can be Nordic, then Greenland is too.
Yeah, we need more subgroup terms than we already have in this region.
Suggested additions:
Rye bread axis: Baltics, Denmark and Finland
Icehockandia: Sweden and Finland
Greater Scandinavia: All Germanic speaking Nordic countries
ÆØÅ 4æva: Norway and Denmark
The Danish realm should also include Hertugdømmet Estland, shouldn’t it…?
Eesti can into nordic?
Add the Scandinavian Peninsula (NOR & SWE) and Fennoscandia (NOR & SWE & FIN) for more confusion
We already have Nordic-Baltic8. But talking about Estonia I’d prefer a Finnic (Estonia, Finland, Sami, Livonian and some more) region over either Baltic or Nordic region.
Please let Poland in, thank you.
If your whole country is to the east of Russian western most part, then surely the most fitting descriptor for you would be ‘Eastern Country’
Does Lithuania has a cultural continuum with Poland considering it’s shared history? Also even today there seem to be huge common looks with Belarus and Russia considering their communist past era and possibly Latvia and Estonia too.
Hörrö du du glöm inga bort oss nu
Balto-nordic union? We’d be getting pretty close to a Mare Nostrum situation with the baltic sea
Some would argue Scotland could almost be included. Not many but some.
Where are the faroe and åland islands?
Now we just need a slice of Russia and we’ll have reformed the former Stormakt of the Swedish Empire. Bliss!

[Fennoscandia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fennoscandia?wprov=sfti1) is missing from this diagram though
I was today years old when I learned that Finland is not Scandinavian.
Pretty sure the Danish flag dimensions are not accurate
So basically all the countries in the map excluding the islands?
More natural blondes than anywhere else on earth…
What about Svalbard? Also, Estonia isn’t “Finno Ugric.”
What’s supposed to unite people of Greenland and people of Lithuania in your concept?
