Cyberspace » What country would you embody?
Okay, I'm now addicted to "Axis Powers Hetalia", and it made me wonder, If I were to embody a country according to that series, it would most likely be Italy (Feliciano, to be exact.) Now I must ask you this; If you are to embody a country, what country will you be and why? (based on what you know... Not the series...)

I'd be Denmark. Small, flat, liberal, sausage-y, beer-y and noisy music.

Not if we let Otto Jespersen walk around killing 'em. He's our Osama. (Funnier, though)

I'm from Australia too!
But that's not the question, and I realised I haven't answered. I'd probably embody one of the European countries dues to that's where all the good music comes from. So either Norway or Britain or Holland or Germany or France. I'm not sure.

Hello Rachael, what you say there is about the geographically correct term of "Scandinavia". Talking about Iceland, Finland, Denmark etc. as Scandinavian countries is more of a cultural term, and it's commonly accepted from what I have experienced.
:D
Exaro, interesting countries you list there- well, Germany isn't interesting to me as I'm from there, but still... I wouldn't move to France though, doesn't feel it would fit me :D
But Norway, Britain, Netherlands sound good for me too. Still, Iceland is my favourite!
Oh, and what I find cool is the fact that the icy country of the two is Greenland, and the non-icy country is Iceland... Etymological process can lead to cool stuff.

Denmark is a part of Scandinavia. Scandinavia is technically Norway, Sweden, and Denmark; where as Iceland and Finland are known together with them as the "Nordic countries".
;D

How does that prove wrong what I said? The Scandinavian Peninsula, which is a geographical term, includes Norway and Sweden. When talking about Scandinavia though, Denmark is usually included. And you can, if you extend your definition of Scandinavia due to cultural identities and relations, include Iceland and Finland too - where Finland is probably the "weirder" case.
Ahh, like America is North and South America and Canada combined? I know nothing of this sorcery!
I wasn't proving you wrong. You originally grouped Denmark with Finland in Iceland and I was saying Denmark is always included in Scandinavia. All of them are Nordic countries no matter what, but when you talk to people in Norway/Sweden/Denmark (from my experience anyway) they do not associate Finland and Iceland with Scandinavia.
I do not want to discuss this anymore since I did not read any of your arguments. I only commented the picture.

:D Cyborg T-Rex always does it.
Well, that's cool then. I'm just saying it's common to call those countries Scandinavian countries here in Germany. In my opinion, calling Finland and Iceland scandinavian countries makes just as much sense as it does for Denmark, so I see no problem there. And usually people from certain regions tend to have a stricter definition of what region they exactly belong to- many "outside people" call us Bavarians, and we always say: We're not Bavarians, we're Franconians. That's probably an inappropriate comparison, but you get the clue, I hope.

I mean: today's culture of both is, especially in the border regions, most likely a mixup of both :D
