Preface

Although small individually, the importance of the Nordic countries as a group is considerable. Did you know that the combined gross domestic product of the Nordic Region makes it the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s twelfth largest economy? Or even that the Nordic Region is bigger than the whole of India, making it the seventh largest landmass in the world? This pocket edition of Nordic Statistics 2015 offers a glimpse into the data that helps to paint a picture of our Nordic society â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for example that every resident of Iceland visits the theatre twice as often as those living in Denmark, Norway and Sweden. For more information on this data, please visit www.norden.org/facts for links to Nordic Statistics and for more data that opens the door to countless fascinating analyses. Happy reading!
