Where does Scandinavia rank in the world?
Scandinavia consists of Norway, Sweden and Denmark and we’ll focus simply on that initially. The combined country would have a population of around 21 million. Those 21 million would take the 90 th, 115 th and 119 th countries in the world in population terms and rocket them up to the heady heights of 58 th!
As it stands there is little active movement towards making a united Scandinavian nation a reality. One thing that is certain is that if there ever was, it would be a contentious and hard-fought battle politically.
Scandinavian countries often get overlooked as individually they’re seen as ‘small, beautiful countries that are great to visit…if you can afford it’. With a larger population would come stronger representation. The combined country could potentially command its own place in the G20.

In other words, the three countries are unlikely to experience any major social shocks if they combined. Economically, a combined Scandinavia would have a GDP of $1.3 trillion, coming in 17 th place in the world.
