Baltoscandia or the Baltoscandian Confederation is a geopolitical concept of a Baltic–Scandinavian (Nordic) union comprising Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, and Sweden.[1] The idea was proposed by a Swedish Professor Sten de Geer (1886–1933) in the journal Geografiska Annaler in 1928 and further developed by Professor Kazys Pakštas[2][3] (1893–1960), a Lithuanian scientist in the field of geography and geopolitics.
