No, it (or we, as I am Norwegian) does not. However, Iceland and Greenland were Norwegian for a long time, as was parts of what is today the United Kingdom (during the Viking era).

The territories of Jan Mayen, Queen Maud's Land (part of Antarctica) and Svalbard are still under Norwegian rule. However, the people living in Svalbard are mostly Norwegians, while Jan Mayen and Queen Maud's Land are only inhabited by scientists and such.
