According to Wikipedia it’s sometimes considered Scandinavian.

Yes it is but that’s plain wrong. Scandinavia consists of Sweden, Norway and Denmark (which is often left out). If you want to refer to the area that consists of Scandinavia, Finland and parts of Russia, the correct term is Fennoscandia.

I will remember this for the next 50 years and maybe use it once.

Edit: I will be cursing you when I forget my dog's face but remember fucking "Fennoscandia".

“According to Wikipedia”

Yeah, there’s your problem, relying on Wikipedia for accurate info.
