As an inhabitant of Weird Jagged Coastline I can confirm that it was indeed designed by an alien. His name is Slartibartfast. He won an award for the body of water next to my house.
FYI: that joke might be a little more racist than you intended, since the circled region is populated by a historically oppressed ethnic minority rather than the typical Scandinavians you were probably thinking of.
(Not trying to criticize since I doubt you did it on purpose; just taking the opportunity to make my Wiki-walking pay off for once.)

The Sami were the inspiration for elves in a lot of Norse folktales. That's all I was getting at.

Oh, so you not only really did mean that, there was a good reason for it.
