I always thought that Scandinavia was part of Western Europe: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Europe#Population_of_We...

It is, but I try to divide culturally, and Scandinavia is quite a different bunch from rest of europe. (I'm Danish myself and have lived in Sweden for six years aswell)

This is also why I decided to add southern europe, since they are also quite different from say Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, etc.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm from New Zealand, I just picked South East Asia, because that's where our game servers are. Would've appreciated an Oceanic option, OP. Edit: Nevermind, it's Australia and New Zealand now. You can just replace that with Australasia, for the record.

I was taught the collective name of Australia and New Zealand was Oceania?

Australasia is a region of Oceania http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Oceanias_Regions.png

It might be grouped that way for geography but culturally and demographically so depending on what you want to get out of your survey the distinction could be worth while.
