The ''Nordic countries'' make up a region in Northern [[Europe]] and the North [[Atlantic]] which consists of [[Denmark]], [[Finland]], [[Iceland]], [[Norway]] and [[Sweden]] (all of which use a Nordic Cross flag) - and their associated territories which include the [[Faroe Islands]], [[Greenland]], [[Svalbard]] and the [[Åland Islands]].

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 and the Nordic model. Politically, Nordic countries do not form a separate entity, but they co-operate in the [[Nordic Council]].

Linguistically, the area is heterogeneous, with three unrelated language groups, the North Germanic branch of Indo-European languages and the Baltic-Finnic and Sami branches of Uralic languages as well as the Eskimo-Aleut language Greenlandic spoken in Greenland. 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).
