I also choose Norway, because I'm of mostly (15/16) Norwegian descent. In case you're curious, the other sixteenth is Dutch.

I went with Norway. My aunt's from there. She's not a particularly pleasant aunt, but, y'know, family.

What do you mean? They are all the same. They are all of Norse decent.

Would Iceland be considered part of Scandinavia? The people there are of the same origin as of those in rest of the Scandinavian countries.

Bjork (from iceland) has a song where she sings "I thought I could organize freedom / How Scandinavian of me". So I think they consider themselves Scandinavian.

Iceland is tied to the region closely, despite the ocean separating it. The flag is even made to the same design (different colors, of course).
My last name is Swedish (Lindberg). However, since I haven't been to those countries I can't say I like one over another. I'll pick Sweden because I'd most like to travel there.

Wikipedia wrote:
Scandinavia is a region in Northern Europe named after mountain range that extends the length of the Scandinavian Peninsula. The most common definition includes Denmark, mainland Norway, and Sweden. As these three countries are geographically part of the mountain range, which in considered to extend south into Denmark even though it is seperated by sea. Although geographically Finland is not part of Scandinavia it is sometimes included, even in official contexts,[1] although since the rise of Scandinavism in 1850s, this inclusion divides opinions in all of the respective states. The usage and meaning of the term in unofficial contexts varies:

* In the English language: "Scandinavia" is sometimes used as a synonym for the Nordic countries.[2]

* In Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland: Finland is not always regarded as a part of Scandinavia.

* In Germany: Norway, Sweden and Finland are usually included, but Denmark is not.

The Nordic countries are Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, with the addition of the autonomous territories of Åland, Faroe Islands and Greenland.

Wikipedia knows about the controversy.

And I picked Sweden. For the meatballs. And Ikea.

It took me a while to decide, since I have been to all four of the countries.
But in the end, I chose Norway. I have no idea why though.
