Five out of six uses of the word, “Scandihoovia” in all the internet are yours. (The sixth probably is, too, but it’s not FR.) So you’ve invented a word, and expect people to know what you’re referring to? I’m guessing (since you reference Kola) you’re meaning Scandinavia?

"Scanderhoovia" is pretty much a "kinda local word known only to Minnesotans, South Dakotans, and Wisconsonites and maybe UPs" ~ in short, I didn't invent it ~ it's pretty colloquial and I've heard it used by many others in that region.

Early in the period of settlement of the Dakotas it finally occurred to someone that although the weather was bad it wasn't Scandinavia, still, there were those Polish and Irish people in St. Paul that had to be dealt with, so someone came up with "Scanderhoovian" to describe the non-Irish, non-Polish, non-native American people then coming to dominate the area.

I think you might spell it several different ways to get more hits.

It is possible I've invented a SHORTER SPELLING.

Just checking my spelling there, and I did it correctly ~ Scanderhoovia ~ and I used it in reference to part of the Fenno-Scandian peninsula ~ but not to the Indo-European/Ugric dominated parts ~

The Sapmi is as much "Scandinavian" in the sense of ethnicity as is downtown Bloomington MN when you get right down to it (which is, none at all 'cause it's an evil college town), hence the use of the more applicable term "Scanderhoovia".
