Scotland was at war with the english plenty of times So back to this, the leaders of villages in Skyrim are called Jarls, as in a viking chieftain. How is this not Scandanavian? It looks like the highlands yes but it's deffinitely viking culture. It is Scandanavian culture. (Both buildings, and pretty much everything about the Nord culture).

And, given that the Rohan village in The Two Towers looks a lot like some of the buildings in Skyrim, goes to prove that New Zealand, too, is in Scandanavia.
