    If you are talking about only those terms the correct statement would be 'Scandinavian Peninsula and Nordic states', or 'Nordic states and Scandinavian peninsula'. I guess you can say Norden if you want but I wouldn't so you wouldn't cause slight confusion since Norden reminds me more of Norden, Lower Saxony in Germany then the Nordic states.
