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)
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.
