What country is not a part of Scandinavia?

Finland is not a part of Scandinavia because it does not belong to the Scandinavian Peninsula. While Finland shares certain cultural and historical similarities with the Scandinavian countries (Sweden, Norway, Denmark), it geographically lies in the region of Fennoscandia or Northern Europe. Finland's distinctive language, Finnish, is unrelated to the Scandinavian languages of Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian. However, Finland does have strong Nordic ties and is often considered a part of the broader Nordic region.
