Hi Germania and Rome!
I'm Åland, a Finnish region! I have something I need to ask you, or rather, get confirmed. I was at Uncle Danmark's house yesterday, and he mentioned someone called Scandia, but when I asked who he meant, he refused to anwser! Mamma Fin said he didn't know, and Pappa Sve just said that it was best not to talk about this Scandia! So I thought, you are rather old and know very much, so I wonder if you know who Scandia is?

"Si! We know who Scandia is!" Rome said.
"Scandia was a name used for various uncharted islands in Northern Europe by the first Greek and Roman geographers. The name originated in Greek sources, where it had been used for a long time for different islands in the Mediterranean region. In the Iliad the name denotes an ancient city in Kythira, Greece," Germania recited.
"Aw, Mania, she coulda looked that up!" Rome laughed, "I think she meant-"
"Sweden is my grandchild, if he doesn't want her to find out, then I won't tell," Germania said, "And neither will you."
"Sorry kid," Rome sighed angrily, "You heard the uptight bastard. Can't spill the beans."
