It would depend on where in each country you are going to and from. It could be done in less than 2 hours by air.

Norway attempted to stay neutral, but they were invaded by th Germans in 1940. You could say they were on the Allies side because the Norwegian fleet helped the Allies.

Yes it is!

The Norwegian electoral system is based on the principles of direct election and proportional representation in multi-member electoral divisions. Direct election means that the electors vote directly for representatives of their constituency by giving their vote to an electoral list. Proportional representation means that the representatives are distributed according to the relationship to one another of the individual electoral lists in terms of the number of votes they have received. Both political parties and other groups can put up lists at elections.

In the case of parliamentary elections Norway is divided into 19 constituencies corresponding to the counties, including the municipal authority of Oslo, which is a county of its own. The number of members to be returned to the Storting is 169. The members are allocated to the constituencies according to the area of the county and the size of its population. Nineteen seats - one seat from each county - are allocated as seats at large.

In the case of local government elections members are returned to municipal councils and county councils. Each municipal authority and each county represents one electoral division. The rules governing how many members are to be returned are laid down in the Local Government Act. The county/municipal council itself lays down the number of members within statutory minimum figures in relation to the size of the population of the county/municipal authority area.

The electoral term is four years for all elections. Elections to municipal and county councils are conducted at the same time and are held midway in the electoral term of the Storting. Election Day is fixed by the King to a Monday in September, usually in one of the first two weeks of the month.

The Constitution has some fundamental provisions concerning parliamentary elections. The detailed provisions for the conduct of both parliamentary and local government elections are contained in the Representation of the People Act 2000 (Act No. 57 of 28 June 2002). Regulations have also been issued and these contain further provisions in some areas.

The local and county authorities have a long tradition as local democratic bodies. Expectations are made of them as democratic bodies, service bodies and as executors of nationally decided policies. They shall also have an independent role with room for local political participation. Local democracy is closely connected with local self government. Only through freedom from the state can local residents - through the local and country authorities - exercise influence over important decisions that apply to their own local community.

The currency (monetary unit) in Norway is Norwegian Krone (NOK).

Oslo, the capital city of Norway, has well over 100 postal codes for different regions. Some of these include 0180, 0158, and 0185,.

The legal status of children born in Norway to non-Norwegian Nationals is that they automatically get a Norwegian Nationality in addition to their parents'. It is why it gets complicated with asylum seekers who have had a child in Norway and then get rejected from the system.

With a dual nationality, the child will remain a Norwegian citizen and it will stay like that until the child is 18 and leaves the country. After that, they have to keep having their passport updated or they can lose their Norwegian Nationality. This goes for any foreign one as well, for instance a Dutch/Norwegian person living in Norway must keep a valid passport or lose their Dutch nationality.

Because they have more sense.

In all honesty, Norway did a vote on whether or not they would join the EU. Most people didn't and that has been respected; politically, it is a very dangerous area since many parties want to join but don't dare voicing it in case their voters disagree.

Yes. They were one of the founding members.

It is called a "constitutional monarchy": We have a monarchy (like Sweden and UK), but the king is primarily a figurehead and officially prohibited from interfering in politics. But he does announce the official yearly opening of Parliament in the fall and the closing in the spring.

The actual government is democratically elected, fairly similar to the rest of Europe.

You would think that they would be in the North mountains because they usually live in the Northern montains anywhere else so this would be the place!

Elk like to live in forests, and the trees need to be at least 3 meters high. In Northern Norway the trees I have seen have been 1 meter high, if they are there at all. Plenty elk in Buskerud, but down in the valleys, not up on mountains.
