There is NO SUCH THING AS FREE!!!! You Pay for EVERYTHING whether you voluntarily pay or if you are forced to pay through taxation
@@robschaller9061 Well it is free, we pay taxes yes, but thats less than most countries, so it doesn't really matter, so we are pretty damn gud

You could have added:
1. Norway gives out the Nobel Peace Prize.
2. While the king technically is the leader of Nprway, he has no actuall power. He is only there because of tradition. The pri minister is the real leader.
3. Norway has more than 50% of the worlds teslas
4. It is a part of scandinavia
5. The reason there are so few people per square mile is that Norway is mostly mountains and forest
6. Norway kinda own (it's a bot complocated) a island called Svalbard. Inside a mountain in Svalbard the goverment of Norway have made an enormous "Seed bank". A place were they have store thousands and thousends of seeds from all over the world, incase som of this were to go extinct
7. Norway is VERY cold
8. Norways has a national oil company that makes sure all money made from oil is being distribited to society and not to private organcations.
9. Norwegian beaches are not beaches, they are the work of Satan himself. They are pure rock, there is always a cold wind and the water is freezing. Swim inside.
10. If you want to learn a language, Norwegian is super easy. The only problem is that it is kinda pointless since Norway has a higher percentage of englishspeakers than Canada
11. We have a time called russetid (after highschool) were you basicly party get drunk, have a terrible hangover the next morning just to go to an other party later, and repeat the prosess.
this isn exactly the problem here. you think oilfund assets are for the gain of Norwegians. i cant be bothered to explain to fools like you
firstly I wouldn't have close to as much money as I have now as a Norwegian if it wasn't for the money the state makes on extracting oil.
I am going to assume you are referring to the fact that Norway doesn't use more that a few percent of the money made(since you couldn't be bothered to explain). What I meant when I said that statoil makes sure the money goes to the people is this: the state owns the money made by oil and not to private organisations like in the US. In countries like US there are a few really rich people who end up with all the money. In Norway the state owns the money and uses it how they believe it is the most beneficial for the people.
Btw: You need to relax, and if you "can't be bothered to explain" then why are you even taking the time to write me a comment, lol
and most of that Money is in a fund so they make Money even without oil. thats why when the oiln prices dropped norway was way better of then countries like Puerto rico
mikomati that is correct, but we only have that law because of tradition. If the king started to refuse laws the government had made we would probably take that power from him. The king supposed to be neutral in politics. The king basicly always approves whatever the gouverment besides, unless it is about the king and the castle.

You forgot the best thing!!!!! Our health care. And you forgot the funniest thing!!!!!! Our prison system!!!!!
I would argue it's the other way around. Our prison system and tactic of "rehabilitation instead of punishment" has proven to be very effective, with generally low amounts of crime, and very low cases of repeated offenses by prisoners who have finished their sentences.
Our healthcare on the other hand, is plagued by extremely long queues, and lacks the resources needed to do their jobs efficiently enough.
health care in Norway sucks healthcare in Norway falling apart it has so big problems that patients are slipping in beds in the hallways after a high-risk operation (very high risk for infection ) and At the same time, there are fewer beds for the care of the elderly in Norway's old people homes as well !!
Health care is pretty bad.
@@robhansen6745 true
@Pinyllia BG true.
You should have mention the oil fund in Norway, which is like a big saving account with over a trillion dollars! The money are saved for future generations.
Andrè Hjortland - Trillion dollars? That’s cute.
Yeah, it actually is, if you count trillions in the american way www.nbim.no/no/
It's actually just around 8000-9000 billion NOK, seems enough
The fund is alreay tied up in future pensions, so its basically already spent up.
Box no Its not. About 20% is.
Fun fact, the king's official title is actually His Majesty Norway's king; not King of Norway. Hence that he serves the nation, not the other way around.
dimrill hans majestet kongen
Poenget mitt var at tittelen hans refererer til at han er Norges Konge, ikke Kongen av Norge.

I have visited in many countries around the World, and I believe Norway is one of the most beautiful countries in the World when it comes to; nature, spectacular fjords, greenish untouched woods, very clean air and water, delicious salmon fish, reindeer and on top of that I found Norwegians as respectful, generous, systematic and low abiding nation. Heia Norge!

Not true. Norwegians are rude and not generous.Even they say it.

You guys are all wrong the chocolat you are eating in the local store are all from countries like Peru, Mexico and Equador.

Young Flacko true
Norway also imports the most teslas in the world
shaha Gohar no
It used to import more, up until 2016 when it was overtaken by Great Britain. How-ever, Britain has more than 10x as many people, so that was going to happen eventually.
And, even thought Britain is now importing a little more than Norway(not much more actually), Norway still have more teslas in the streets due to the vast amount of cars imported before 2016.
The only country with more teslas is the US, but since Tesla is an American company they don't really import the cars. The US also have 60x as many inhabitants.
So there was a little while where Norway actually had more and imported more Tesla's than both Britain and California, but that time is over. How-ever, considering how Norway has such a small population, Norway is still the country in the world where the Tesla car is the most popular.
But not only the Tesla, all electric cars are popular. 42% of all cars sold in Norway 2017 are electric cars.
And considering how sparsely populated Norway is, where it's highly impractical for people living on the countryside to have electric cars; it's a difficult choice for many to switch to electric. More so in countries with more urban areas such as Britain and Cali. And that really puts these numbers in perspective.
Lairoyale yes
Oh god. I remember the first Tesla I saw here was so cool. Next day I saw over 20 of them out my window... I've seen SO many og them.
shaha Gohar wait what
norway has the best milking cows... and by that the best chocolate :)

Norway is beautiful, friendly, easy, simple, enjoyable, and very safe. It was so worth seeing my ancestors heritages keep it up Norwegians!
Brandon Hanson. Aww Thank You! Im norwegian
Friendly? Haha 🤣
Theres a lot of small mistakes in here that could be changed if a norwegian watched the video before it was posted.
1) The king's offical title is His Majesty Norrway's king, not King of Norway. He serves the nation more than the other way around. Our king has nothing to do with politics at all, as the video might suggest, we have a prime minster. The kings jobs entail more around maintaining relationships, maintaining traditions, and specifically our king is not that bad with speeches.
2) Our coastline is enormous yes but calling it beachline is not the right word for it as very few places along the shore has sand. Its very rocky and full of seaweed.
3) Average temperature in Norway in the summer might be 18 celsius, but overall its probably a lot lower. In the winter Norway has some very nothern parts that get -25 to -35 on the coldest days. And all of norway gets cold enough for snow in the winter.
Theres a lot for interesting things about Norway that are more "normal" to mention in this type of video. Like beeing rated between 1th -3rd happiest places in the world last three years and that Norway is the top 5 of countries in the world where religion doesnt have any particular significance in the daily lives of the people. Norway recently became more atheistic/agnostic than religious (as of 2015). And more unique things.
Your point 3 is wrong. He was talking about the water.
Why do people have to write so long comments
You address our king as; His Majesty the King and there are loads of beautiful sandy beaches all over Norway
and the prime minister is a neanderthal
and you forgot about Norway's Atlantic Road it is part of Norwegian national road 64 (Rv 64), one of the most beautiful and DANGEROUS roads in the world
LoL
you are welcome BUT I am an Englishman living next door top Norway "Finland"
I heard about this road and I do plan on riding along this road weather permitting
It's not dangerous at all. If it were, it would've been closed
when the weather get really bad they do close it ;)
and one tourist has been washed out to sea on the road
I think makes it dangerous NOT deadly but deferentially dangerous
I have drivet that road many times! Because i live like 1 hour away from it but it’s just dangerous when it’s bad weather AS you say. And then it getting closed. But it’s more than just 1 person taht have lost they’r live there
Suzanne I think you are lucky to be able to drive it....
I will get to drive it one day.. But I have made my mind up that the first time I drive it is going to be on my chopper motorbike when I finish making it.
BUT will check weather reports before I do.

You said that the curent ruler of norway was the king and queen, but thats wrong. The king nearly have no power at all. All he does is to sit there and wave his hands on our national Day
CSGOForLife shut up hitler, th eking does have a final word in any big decisions the government wants to do, but its still the prime minister that is th leader, thats true
TheBadChris :O. Yeah, you are right that the king can say no to somethings that the prime minister says, but if he does, then he would probaly get focking fired from beeing a king. The prime minister can remove him if the rest of the leader table agrees, something they will probaly do if the king stops them.
he does technically not have a final word. if he was to reject signing a new petition or bill, the state can still approve of whatever it may be. all he actually does is creating more paperwork with the same result
TorbjørnMain Kongen har da Veto
thebadchris why do you lie? he has no fucking power. kan du ikke litt om din egen jævla historie? han må skrive under på alt uansett hva han vil eller ikke. stortinget sitter med siste ord og kongen har faktisk ingenting å si
Yeah you forgot about:
1. The northern parts of Norway. No sun for 3 months, and always sun for 3 months. And if you are above 66.5 degrees north, you can experience the Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights.
2. We have 2 official writing languages.
3. In 2017 we were rated to be the happiest nation on Earth.
4. And we have the highest HDI rating on Earth.
The defence department of Norway:
So how should we scare off any future enemies?
What if we make a penguin our military general.
Great idea! He'll be much better with military strategies than any other Norwegian.
So penguin is treating everyone

Norwegians also invented slow TV. Every Christmas I put on the 9 hour video of the winter train trip from Bergen to Trondheim. It’s a great context for the day - quiet and pleasant. Having grown up in Minnesota, and now living in Southern California, I miss the snow...but only on Christmas.
No no no no no.. the king does not rule Norway! And the water can be up to 25 in summertime although it's normally around 20!! A lot of these facts are wrong.

Important Fact!
The national day of Norway is 17th of May, where we celebrate the independence and establishment of our constitution. The establishment of our constitution happened in 1814. The 200th anniversry of our constitution was celebrated in 2014.
Bonus fun-fact:
The cheese slicer was invented in Norway =D
Other things that were invented in Norway:
The harpoon cannon;
Heavy water;
The Birkeland-Eyde process;
And of course, the spray can.
It wasn't our independence day! We went into a union with Sweden. We weren't independent until 1905.
The original plan was for Sweden to get Norway as a "gift" for their efforts in the Napoleonic wars. Gift, as in, Sweden directly annexing Norway, not just a union.
We said no, wrote the constitution and declared independence from Denmark, to which Sweden obviously declared war. In the following war, Norway was too weak to defend itself properly, but Sweden was also too weak to fully enforce their own claims, so a "compromise" was made, and Norway entered into a union under Sweden.
Lasting independence didn't come until 1905, but it would still be technically correct to refer to 17th of May as an independence day, as we were in fact independent while the war against Sweden was still ongoing.
June 7th is our Independence Day.
No one cares lol
You could have talked about the “tungtvanns aksjonen” or the heavy water war wich took place under ww2 when a rebellion group from Norway stopped the German eksport of heavy water to from Norway to Germany and they destroyed the heavy water production. The heavy water was believed to be a rescipy to a nuclear weapon, so maybe the war had ended much more differently if this did not happen!
It wasn't a recipe for nuclear weapons, but it could have aided tremendously in the research/production of nuclear weapons, yes! It is perhaps highly likely the Germans would have had nuclear weapons before the US, if it weren't for the bombings and sabotages of the heavy water production plant(Vemork hydrogen plant was the first mass producing heavy water plant in the world) and a certain transport of materials. I also have to add that the French military intelligence, prior to the war starting in Norway, managed to remove/"lend" 185kg of Heavy Water from Norway. If the Germans had gotten nuclear weapons in time, even after the US; Germans would have had a significant advantage over the allies, because of the V2 rocket. Because with the V2 rocket, they could have potentially hit US soil, either from Germany or a significant distance; something the US had to use bombers for! UK would have surely have fallen in this case, because the V2 rocket hit London from mainland Europe reliably, with mechanical targeting systems!
This is not the only big contributing factor Norway/Norwegians did; Notraship (Norwegian Shipping and Trade Mission), was created 1940 to help with the war effort for the allies, one which was to transport supplies to the UK, and it became the largest shipping fleet in the world at the time. It's attributed with being a major contribution to the allied war effort.
If it were not for those two major contributing parts from Norway/Norwegians, WW2 would have lasted longer, if not entirely lost for the allies. It's stupid of anyone to refute both of those!
Sidenote: The German scientists behind the V2 rocket is hugely responsible for the US getting to the moon; at least that early! IIRC, no one can make remake the Saturn rocket, since the people behind it are dead, and there is not enough schematics or knowhow to make a new one. If I'm not wrong, it's still the most powerful machine humans has built; and it's still the only machine to have brought humans beyond low earth orbit.
As a half Norwegian person, I will point out you forgot about our flag having like 7 other flag in it
You forgot to say that we have a LOT of mountains here in Norway. And in some places like in Vest Norway and North Norway(i think) we have a lot of tall mountains. And the biggest mountain in Norway is the biggest mountain in north europe. 🇳🇴 And Norway ROCKS🇳🇴
in Norway 18 celsius is warm
no. 28 is warm
He was talking about 18C water temp in the ocean, which is pretty fucking hot.
Heck, even 18C outside temp is considered a nice warm day here. Anything above 25C is torture, way too hot to function properly in daily life. Luckily, anything closing in on 30C is newsworthy and talk about "record breaking temperatures" start to pop up.
Melodeath00 not really, summers without one or more days close to 30 is the exception, not the rule, and that is in Northern Norway. Had a 33 degree C last year
Norway has the second largest coast line in the world if you count with the Islands too! Then it's about 140 000 km i think
I’m from Norway- fun fact: our prisons looks like hotels! They are waaaay to «fancy» to be prisons.
You forgot that we have 3 extra letters: æ, ø and å. And the fact we got 2 of the world's most dangerous roads.
+FTD Facts you forgot to talk about the vikings! :-)

well viking verre more popular in Denmark so it makes sense its not in the vid
Tayla Sayla Norwegian vikings where the best sailors tho, and also the most brutal. Denmark became christians so fast they barely were vikings.
i am just saying that Denmark was more famous for their vikings than Norway, and plus there is more exiting things than vikings about norway

Some Norway facts from a Norwegian:
Our national day isn't our independence day which was 1905(which was also the day our union with Sweden was dissolved), but instead 1814, our constitution day, which is when we entered a union with Sweden after 300 years of Danish rule.
A Norwegian saying is that all Norwegians are born with skis on their legs. We love skiing.
We make Swedish jokes, they make danish jokes, and Danes make Norwegian jokes.
Our northern most region (Finnmark) has sunlight 24 hours a day for 6 months. Then 6 months of pure darkness.
Our school system has elementary school form 1-7th grade. Middle school(ungdomskole: Youth school) from 8-10th grade, then high school from 11-13th grade. Which basically means we have an extra year of school.
17th May 1814 is still Independence day, 1905 is when we gained total independence.

Not to burst your bubble but Gas in Norway costs roughly $7 USD and not 10, it's never been that high, at least to my knowledge.
Exzious - He said that was the price for, "Premium" gas. Is $7 the right price for that type of gas or for the lower octane fuel?
@@nbrace-tl8ku no it's 95 and 98 octane, prices in Norway wary based on location and wether it's petrol or diesel. $10 USD is a steep price even in cities
@@Exzious - It's unfortunate that an Oil producing and exporting country charges their citizens so much for such an important necessity.
Norway is one of the few countries that is NOT named after people who live there, but it tells you where to sail north.
A little fun fact: Norway has two official dialects, Bokmål and Nynorsk. But we also have a small one used mostly around Oslo by immigrants called Kebab-Norsk, wich is the standard Norwegian with mixed in words from the area around Turkey.
Norway have free school from first grade to high school (13 years). and it is all based on grades
U mean 18?
Actually, that's only in public school. I went to a montessori school. And we didn't get grades until ungdomskolen. I got a "vurdering" with "grade levels" instead of grades in 7th grade, but it wasn't technically grades.
Wrong. On elementary school (1-7th class), it’s not bases on our grades. But when we come to middle school (8-10th class) it is. After that we go on high school. All free. But if you go on private school you have to pay.
Every school except universities and private schools are free, plus free healthcare and kindergarten and so forth. We have a lot of benefits that come from our high taxes.
Gabriella Cecilie grades i think youre mixing americans schools i think with norwegian

Norway has the strongest tidal current in the world, a mealstrom called Saltstraumen. During the age of Vikings a Viking Chieftain named Raud den rame (Rauðr inn rammi) was a Warchief that lived close to Saltstraumen. He is also mentioned by Olav Tryggvason in the Snorre King's Tales.
A fearless and cunning Viking Warchief lived in Godøya (Good Island) close to Saltstraumen. Raud was his name, he was very rich and powerful, a respected but feared landlord. Should he be in need, he also had a handful Finnish/Sami people on his side. Raud was feared among his enemies, and word said that Raud was a powerful sorcerer. Believed to be able to control the weather and wind.
Year 999 King Olav the Holy was doing his crusades in the north of Norway, in his quest to christianize Norway. When he came to Saltenfjorden he decided to pay the pagan Raud a visit to make him a christian man.
A powerful storm occured as the christian king got closer to Raud's village. The King was then forced to lay and wait with his ship untill the waves calmed down close to the shore. But they didn't. Further out a the king spotted a breeze easy enough to continue along the shore. The King then continued north and left Raud alone. When the king returned south again, he was once more attempting to get into Saltenfjorden and have a chat with Raud. However, like last time the storm was back again, it is said that the king waited a few days to see if the waves would calm by the shores, but they didn't.
He then contacted Bishop Sigurd for advice. The Bishop said he would ask for gods power and blessing to end the sorcery of Raud. The Bishop then went around the King's ship with a cross, while reading from the bible. He poured holy water on the tip of the ship, and blessed various parts of the ship.
And so, the storm ended and the waves calmed, the king and his men went ashore with their rowboats. While they were rowing, water spewed out of the ocean, and only a white mark was left behind them on the surface.
(Which is a quite accurate description of how the spot of a tidal wave (maelstrom) looks like during the calm of it)
When they came to Raud's halls they captured him and tied him up. The King told Raud to get baptised. "Then, I shall not rob you of your riches, but be your friend!", The King said to Raud. Raud shouted back as he cursed christianity and said that he would never betray Odin and Thor. The King got so mad that he was going to make Raud eat his words. Raud was then tied against a pole. His mouth was forced open by a branch, as the King's men forced a snake down Raud's throat. The snake wouldn't budge and managed to get away. Olav made a make-shift pipe of some materials nearby and released the snake into the pipe that was now forced into Raud's throat, he then dropped a piece of hot metal into the pipe after the snake. The snake paniced and ate it's way out of Raud's stomach, that is how Raud died.
Olav the Holy took all off Raud's personal possessions; gold, silver, slaves and other riches. Raud had a ship, Draken(The Dragon), the king took it. It was alot bigger and nicer than his own ship. It had a dragon's head in the front, and decorations in the back that made the tail aswell. The ship was even ingraved with gold in the wood. The King called this ship Ormen (The Worm/The Snake)
as a taunt towards how Raud died. The king eventually built an even bigger ship from the design of Draken, he called his new ship Ormen Den Lange (The Long Worm/The Long Snake)
According to the Snorre King's Tales Raud reigned over two islands known as Gylling og Hæring. Together these islands was known as the Godøyene (The Good Islands), the currency stream between them are known as Godøystraumen. According to history, fact, myths and legends; Raud was not only a powerful warrior and a Warchief, but also a shamanistic sorcerer able to control the weather, the winds and the ocean. Living in a place like Saltstraumen, it isn't hard to understand that the powerful tidal waves and maelstorms is what people back then believed to be the work of Raud's magic.

How is the education system in Norway and which city do you live?
Too depressing too cold
Rob Robski sadly true
Wajid Ali oh I didn’t see this. The education is good in some good parts of town. And I live in Alta Finnmark.
I never visit Norway before and maybe i cant , but i saw it in the pics and seriously for me I think it’s the most beautiful and stunning place in a whole world .
Maybe, but bring a raincoat if you come to Bergen. It's raining all year for us. :P
Its not butiful i live there
Most boring contry in the world .. dont waste your money julia..
Norway=paradise on earth. Do a video about Georgia(Country)
Dødseter norway is hell. i live there
Can you explain why? I've never been to Norway but its nature is the most fascinating for me,also people are very pretty and I love cold weather.Still I think it's much better than the other coutries and it also was named as the happiest country of the world.There might be a reason
There's a place in Norway called Hell. Norway isn't Hell, but Hell is in Norway :P
Yeah I know about that place :D
Georgia can be great if it just gets som nukes in it's face
You forgot to mention that in 1979 some of the scenes from the ice planet "Hoth" in Empire Strikes Back were filmed in Norway, Finse:)
The king doesn’t actually do anything much in the sense of ruling Norway. We have a parliament based on the American parliament. The king has veto power on certain things, but he can only say no, never make up something new. This is in the Norwegian “grunnlov” which was written in may 1814. But as a king he is definitely great. You can also search up king Harald of Norway’s speech where he says that no matter gender, color or sexuality we’re all Norwegian, and we’re the ones who make Norway great. So yeah, he’s an awesome king 👑
Norway has the 3 highest men in the world
Hightex2004 Hightex2004 yup Norway loves drugs
Are they high on life?
#MenFromSouth
Hightex 2004 My grandfather {Farfar, recently deceased} was born in Norway and except for his 2nd son {my dad} all his other sons were born in Norway {like me, I'm not as tall as I'd like to be}. They'll *ALL* pretty tall. 🔝🇳🇴👍😎
Pretty sure he ment tallest... lol
I am from Norway xD
Hey, Norway is tho THE BEST CONTRY
Yeah u say so
The problem with UA-cam videos about Norway is the fact that 90% of the people who watch them are Norwegian (judging from the comments at least) so it’s impossible to find a comment thread where someone isn’t writing in Viking
One thing that actually is a big thing in my home town (Halden) is that the town actually got burned down when Sweden marched in to the town.
And Karl XII has a grave at the fortress in Halden
those who live in Norway do not think tings is so expensive, it's just people who are not from Norway that is poor so they think it's so expensive.
Got to disagree, it is a top 10 when it comes to gdp pr cap, and we have a high standard of living. But we norwegians love to jerk ourselves of every time we are good at somting
Things are not so expensive for us because we earn a lot of money. Thanks to the oil.
ellen the norwegian wealth existed long before oil. it didnt make us rich, but richer than usual. there is a clear difference. we were quite wealthy in the 1800 as well you know
@Pinyllia BG no i am very much correct in my statement. Research done my Norwegian economic newspapers and economics has published this before and is not in any way new information. As stated, norway was richer than most European countries both eastern and southern parts. Ranking 36th place in gdp. In other words, not very poor
@Pinyllia BG i would advise you to read this: e24.no/privat/forbrukerrettigheter/hverken-gerhardsen-eller-oljen-gjorde-norge-rikt/10085819
The hottest in Norway have been 40 deegres
Edward 05 Nesbyen has this about Every year. Actually been above 50. But not official.
Edward 05 it hit 32 degrees a couple days ago where I live in Norway. Insane compared to I’m used to snow at the start of June.
Edward 05,no, we don’t live in Africa
What is deggrees
The best thing about Norway is the plane rides out.

Norway has a prime minister who rules more over Norway than the royal family. Her name is Erna Solberg
My favorite thing about Norway is how hilariously unsocial we are. Sitting next to a stranger on the bus? Would actually rather stand. And if, for some reason, you end up sitting next to someone, for the love of king Harald himself, do not make eyecontact. Do not talk. We have a nationally accepted kind of body language for when we're about to get off the bus so we don't have to talk to each other. Also, something that apparently isn't normal in many other countries, is that we call our teachers by their first names, and we're often friends with them on facebook and talk to them via text.
Pia Skjørberg cold weird people. Most boring place ever
norway was rueld by denmark and sweden in the 1700
Vegard Hella And I think my dad was telling me that the Swedish town of Uddevalla was *Once* part of Norway. 🤔🇳🇴🇸🇪
Nei bare danmark

You missed a bit on the temperature, its usually way warmer on hot days
I don’t really think there is a lot of people from other parts of the world that’s watching this, but I appreciate that you mad this video❤️
im from norway
«Fun» fact. In 2018 Norway killed of the majority (about 90%) of its Native critically endangered wolf population in order to protect animal livestock, of which the wolf kills but a fraction of all those that dies in pain in our nature due to injuries from other causes than predators. And did I mention that Norway produces a large surplus of said livestock, which are kept in cold storage due to lack of demand of those products from consumers. To all who thinks highly of Norway, do not think so. Read about how we kill of several of our critically endangered predator species only to satisfy sheepfarmers and «hunters». Think about that next time you are considering going on holiday in Norway. Think about that when considering purchasing Norwegian products. Choose something else. Regards from a Norwegian who is appaled by our governments slaughter of our predators.
shut up vegan.
shut up. kill some more.
Ya if we had that crocodilla we shoot that too.
HEY to all of you englands out there norway have two more words then you ååååå æææææ haha
And øøøøøø
Norway actually has a seed place where seed is saved until doomsday so we can plant more plants when they become gone
The king has the final say for for his people. I am proud to have served Norway and its people.
