 | | Therefore some or all of the following geopolitical entities may be considered peripherally Scandinavian, since they traditionally have had strong political, social, economic, linguistic and/or geographical ties with the three kingdoms. | | | See also Politics of Denmark, Politics of Norway and Politics of Sweden. | | | Pliny mentions Scandinavia one more time: in 8.39 he says that the animal called achlis (given in the accusative, achlin), was born on the island of Scadinavia. |

| | The End of Marriage in Scandinavia |
| | Scholars have long suggested that the relatively thin Christianization of the Nordic countries explains a lot about why the decline of marriage in Scandinavia is a decade ahead of the rest of the West. | | | Perhaps the most disturbing sign for the future is the collapse of the Scandinavian tendency to marry after the second child. | | | But with Scandinavia, we are well beyond the realm of even educated speculation. |

| | But territory is less important than purpose here: Jomsberg was the base of an order of Pagan warriors, very similar in many respects to later crusading orders of chivalry, except that money, not religious zeal, motivated them: they were mercenaries to whoever would pay their battle-fee. | | | King Magnus of newly Christianized Norway launched a holy war against Jomsberg and succeeded in suppressing the group in 1043. | | | It participated for a time in the Union of Kalmar which brought together all of Scandinavia for a time, but the Swedes misliked the arrangemnent, and over a tumultuous 75 year period (1448-1523) extracted themselves from Denmark-Norway, to pursue an entirely separate identity. |

| | Marriage is dying in Scandinavia, which has had marriage-like same-sex registered partnerships for over a decade. | | | And unlike Scandinavia, America has an underclass, whose families would suffer greatly from a further separation between marriage and parenthood. | | | Yet scholars note that many family changes that eventually sweep the West show up first in Scandinavia, probably because of Scandinavia's unusually large welfare state and its notably strong secularism. |
