Åland is an autonomous region of Finland consisting of many municipalities. Åland is officially monolingual Swedish with an element of a few percent Finnish. Åland basically manages its own affairs, but defense and foreign policy are managed by Finland. Taxes are collected by Åland, but an equalization takes place annually with Finland, whereby an offset is made to achieve equilibrium. Åland is demilitarized in peacetime.
“Nobody”?! Of course I know Åland archipelago. What do you take me for? That said, it’s not a country in the sense of an independent state, it’s an autonomous region of Finland.
Scotland is a country, Wales is a country, England is a country, Isle of Mann is a country, Greenland is a country, Aland is a country. A country is a land and group of people with its own government regardless of whether they are part of a larger union or national body. By your standards France isnt a country, its an autonomous region of the European Union.

The islands were populated much earlier than " viking age", coming from east and west. Population expanded more rapidly from ca 500 CE.
Apparently it was depopulated from the 9th century to the 11th century, before being repopulated by swedes again.
