Norway has a total area of 385,252 square kilometers (148,747 sq mi) and a population of about 4.8 million. It is one of the most sparsely populated countries in Europe. The majority of the country shares a border to the east with Sweden; its northernmost region is bordered by Finland to the south and Russia to the east; and Denmark lies south of its southern tip across the Skagerrak Strait. The capital city of Norway is Oslo. Norway's extensive coastline, facing the North Atlantic Ocean and the Barents Sea, is home to its famous fjords. Norway has rich resources of oil, natural gas, hydroelectric power, forests, and minerals, and was the second largest exporter of seafood (in value, after the People's Republic of China) in 2006.Other major industries include shipping, food processing, shipbuilding, the metal industry, chemicals, mining, fishing, and the pulp and paper products from forests. Norway maintains a Scandinavian welfare model with universal health-care, subsidized higher education, and a comprehensive social security system. Norway was ranked highest of all countries in human development from 2001 to 2007, and then again in 2009. It was also rated the most peaceful country in the world in a 2007 survey by Global Peace

    In Sweden, elementary, preschool, & secondary schools provide meals filled with nutrients to students for no cost, whereas, in England, students bring a packed lunch from home to school with them. However, on Sundays in both Great Britain and Sweden, big family dinners are common. The geography and climate of Sweden is vastly different that England's, northern Sweden is made up of snowy mountains with trees, central Sweden has hills, rivers, and lakes, and southern Sweden is made up of large lakes and plains. Sweden, like England, is partially surrounded by water, and so fish, more specifically herring, is a very significant part of their diet. Meat like reindeer, chicken, beef, lamb, and pork can be found on many Swedish dinner tables, providing an abundance of protein for them.…

    Hello, fellow citizens of Scandinavia! We have gathered today to discuss the fate of a Viking who committed a serious crime. Kyle Qi, a raiding Viking, has committed a serious crime. One that is unacceptable! Outrageous! He has pillaged innocent civilians! The “thing” will now start the trial for this criminal. The law states that the “thing” must deal with any serious crimes, such as murder or theft. The punishment he is facing today is exile. But, we Vikings are a civilized group of people, so we will allow this man a fair trial. But before we get too into this, let’s talk a bit about me. My job as a law speaker is a very prestigious one.

    Greg Critser lives in Pasadena, California, and writes regularly for USA Today and the Los Angeles Times on issues of nutrition, health, and medicine. An authority on the subject of food politics, Critser has been interviewed by PBS and other media, and his writ­ing on obesity earned him a James Beard nomination for best feature writing in 1999. Embarrassed by a passing motorist who shouted "Watch it, fatso," Critser went on a diet and lost forty pounds. In the process he discovered that in America, weight is a class issue—fat and poor often go together. In exposing the heavy truths about American obesity, Critser gives our bloated nation a wake-up call. His books include Fat Land: How Americans Became the Fattest People in the World (2003) and Generation Rx: How Prescription Drugs Are Altering American Lives, Minds, and Bodies (2005).…

    Norwegian came from Old Norse which is the language of the Vikings. Viking traders spread the language across Europe into Russia. Old Norse is one of the most widespread languages of that time. Christinaity spread to Norway in early 1000’s and led to development of Eastern and Western Norse. During the 1500’s Denmark ruled Norway- Denmark then became the formal language. When Danish rule was over, there was Nationalist pressure from Norway to have their own language again. Some scholars developed a Dano-norwegian form to keep the Danish heritage whilst other scholars developed a new language based on modern dialects of the time. In 1929 they became officially renamed, both recognised as being the two written languages of Norway. The first one, Dano-Norwegian, was given the new name Bokmål and the second, from rural dialects, Nynorsk.…
