		Scandza was the name given to Scandinavia by Jordanes, in his work Getica.
		Jordanes names a multitude of tribes living in Scandza, which he named the Womb of nations, and they were taller and more ferocious than the Germans (archaeological evidence has shown the Scandinavians of the time were tall, probably due to their diet).
		Some claim that Scandza only referred to Scania, which must be due to not having read Jordanes, since the description covers all of the Scandinavian peninsula.
