The Nordic countries make up a region in
Northern Europe, sometimes called the Nordic region, consisting of
Denmark,
Finland,
Iceland,
Norway and
Sweden and their associated territories which include the
Faroe Islands,
Greenland, and
Åland. The region's five
nation-states and three autonomous regions share much common history as well as common traits in their respective
societies, such as political systems. Politically, Nordic countries do not form a separate entity, but they co-operate in the
Nordic Council. Linguistically, the area is heterogeneous, with two unrelated language groups, the
North Germanic branch of
Indo-European languages and the
Baltic-Finnic and
Sami branches of
Uralic languages. The Nordic countries have a combined population of approximately 25 million spread over a land area of 3.5 million km² (Greenland accounts for 60% of the total area).
