Norway
“
Yes, we love this country as it rises forth, rugged, weathered, above the sea, with those thousand homes.
— Norway’s Anthem (Yes, we love this country)
Norway, officially the Kingdom of Norway, is a country located in Northern Europe. He has one of the most beautiful anthems in the world. He likes to hike, ski and fish. He is also rich in oil and iron. His prisons are also the nicest.
While he does worry about its fighting chance against Russia, it has
NATO to protect it. It used to have the highest HDI (Human Development Index) in the world, until
Switzerland took that. Norway is ranked as the most
democratic country in the world.
Norway has both administrative and political subdivisions on two levels: counties and municipalities.
Historie (History)[edit | edit source]
Norway declares independence from Sweden, ending the
union that had existed since 1814. Women gained the right to vote in 1913 and continue to advance in political and social spheres throughout the 20th century.
In WWI, Norway remains neutral. But Norway experiences economic hardships due to disruptions in trade. Norway declares neutrality at the outbreak of World War II, but is invaded by Nazi Germany on April 9, 1940. The government fleed to
Britain, establishing a
government-in-exile. Norwegian resistance fighters, along with
Allied forces, engage in acts of sabotage against the
German occupation. On May 8th, 1945:
Germany surrenders, and Norway is liberated.
Norway becomes a founding member of the United Nations in 1945. Norway joins
NATO on 4 April 1949. The country experiences rapid economic growth, particularly in the oil and gas sectors following the discovery of significant offshore reserves in the North Sea in the late 1960s. This made Norway one of the richest countries in the world with a high standard living.
Norway plays an active role in brokering the Oslo Accords between
Israel and the
Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in the 1990s.
Fairly recently, some terrorists are attacking Norway, including by bombing and mass shooting. This further encouraged Norway to continue to be a prominent advocate for peace, human rights, and environmental sustainability on the global stage.
