Which one of the following countries is not a member of the Nordic Council?
Explanation
The Nordic Council is an inter-parliamentary forum composed of the five Nordic states—Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden—and includes representation from autonomous areas such as the Faroe Islands, Greenland and Åland [1]. Official descriptions and member lists explicitly enumerate these five countries as the Council’s full members, reflecting its regional focus and post‑World War II origins (established in 1952) aimed at Nordic cooperation [1]. The United Kingdom is not among the listed member states of the Nordic Council and therefore is not a member. Thus, while Norway, Denmark and Iceland are Council members, the correct answer for the non‑member is the UK (option 4).
