OOC: Chinese, Finland isn't Scandinavian, and both Scandinavians and Finns get insulted when that label is applied to them.  Geographically, it's part of Scandinavia, but the Finns are completely different from the Scandinavian cultural group, which also includes Denmark, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, and Greenland, in addition to Sweden and Norway.  Finland's been owned alternately by Sweden and Russia for the better part of a thousand years - my ancestors were actually Swedish overlords over parts of Finland.  Anyway, back to the point:

This country's currency is pegged to the Euro, and its value is about on par with the pound sterling.

I can find no country with its currency pegged to the euro that is on par with the pound-sterling (at the current exchange rate of 1.46 pounds-sterling to the euro).  Is it a country that currently has its own currency or one that is currently in the eurozone?

A currency that is pegged to Euro does not mean that it is on par with Euro.
This country currently has its own currency (i.e. not in the eurozone).

1, Gibraltar is not a country
2, Gibraltar pound is pegged to the pound sterling, not the Euro.

I have plenty of info, I need classification.  You said that the currency was "on par" with the pound-sterling.  Does that mean that it is approximately the same value, or has approximately the same worth on the world market?  You also said it was "pegged to the Euro".

I can't find any country that meets these two.

1. The currency of this country is pegged to the Euro.
2. The value of this currency is about that same as the pound sterling.

Extra hint: I have been to this country.
