  • Nearly 60% of Norway is uninhabitable. This is due to a number of factors, including the cold climate, the mountainous terrain, and the scarcity of arable land. Almost 90% of the land is covered by mountains, which makes it difficult to build roads and other infrastructure. On top of that, only about 3% of Norway's land is arable. This means that there is very little land that is suitable for growing crops. Despite these challenges, Norway is home to over 5.4 million people and has one of the strongest economies in Europe.

    Remember it isn't oil that made Norway successful. There are many countries around the world that has an abundance of natural resources, but that isn't as successful as Norway.
    It is how Norway decided to use these resources to boost other industries, and more importantly, provide good education, healthcare and safety for its population. Norway has become the capital of innovation, science and technology, that even when it decides to end oil and gas production will have other industries that will be just as profitable. A well educated population is the most valuable resource a country can have, with it they can achieve anything.

    Norway is not uninhabitable, you can live off the land, even in the northern most regions by being resourceful and good planing throughout the year. Plants like potato, carrot, mushroom, jordskokk and more grow well there, and you can get lots of berries from the forrests or vidde (terrain consisting mostly of small berry bushes). You can get fish from the sea. Sheep, goats and reindeer can graze on land unsuitable for produce.

    After the Black Death we Norwegians lost any type of significance for 600 years, we were dominated by our neighbors, the people lived an incredibly harsh life that effected deeply society (you can see it still in our social norms) we were probably the poorest country in Europe. Then we wanted independence even knowing we were poor and that Sweden would have crushed us, seamed like the typical chapter in Norwegian history, then something like a miracle happens! The Swedish people forced their parliament to give us freedom, we democratically voted a danish prince to become our king (he’s a descendent of the danish king Christian Frederick who fought in 1814 and lost to the Swedes for Norwegian independence, the last war Sweden ever fought), we were still poor but free, and we went all in on democracy, fairness and social liberty. Then we found the oil reservoirs, decided that the revenues would go into the pocked of every single Norwegian (look up the largest sovereign wealth found in the world) and today here we are: children march on our national day not the army, corruption is non existent and unacceptable in any form, we love to be in our hash weather and are way more sociable in the forests than on the bus. I’m proud to be Norwegian and our history prove what a united, fair and resilient nation can become.
