Morphology
The meaning 'any country in Scandinavia' is directly and compositionally derived from 'Scandinavian' (related to Scandinavia) plus 'country' (a nation). This adjective+noun combination follows a regular, cross-linguistically common pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Scandinavian country comes from the place-name Scandinavia, an old name for the northern lands of Europe where Denmark, Norway, and Sweden are. So a Scandinavian country simply means a 'country in that northern region'.
