"Norway is a distinctive country with a long and fascinating history. In some ways, it's a study in contrasts. Its origins are ancient, but today it's one of the modern and egalitarian nations to exist. It's a kingdom with a royal family dating back thousands of years, but it's also considered one of the most democratic nations in the world. It's largely mountainous, but it has a long coastline and many islands. It's one of the northernmost countries on Earth, with some extreme conditions, but also has many thriving ecosystems, plants, and wildlife"-- Provided by publisher
