Can Norway produce nuclear weapons?
Denmark does NOT have any nuclear weapons of its own, but such weapons have been kept at a US-base on Greenland, which is a part of the Kingdom of Denmark. The funny thing is that the Danish Prime minister in 1957 in secrecy was asked by the Ambassador whether the Danish government wanted to be informed in case USA would decide to place nuclear warheads on Greenland, to which the former declined - apparently only consulting a few close advisers. In this way the Danish government have been able to deny for decades that there were any nuclear weapons on Danish territory - even-though everybody suspected that it was not true. The purpose of this charade was not to provoke the Soviets by officially 'inviting' the weapons, but the problem was that the Danish parliament (and people) was also kept in the dark - which obviously is unconstitutional.

What games do children play in Norway?
You start school when you're six. You go to elementary school for seven years and leave when you 13. Next you go to teenage school which is like junior high. That's 8th, 9th and 10th grade and then you are done and can choose to not go to school anymore or go to high school for three more years. However you are entitled to 13 years of school and free university. In Norwegian schools you are in a class that you share all your subjects with. Norwegian schools are not strickt at all. Children soon find that they can do whatever they want whitout severe consequences. It is almost impossible to get a detention in a norwegian school. In fact I do not think it is legal anymore.

Norway is a part of scandinavia. Scandinavia is Norway, Sweden and Denmark.
What do Norwegian people generally look like?
Norwegian are mixed with Sami people and Dutch are not.
Norwegian tend to look more Mongolian than the Dutch, especially in northern Norway.
A well known Norwegian-America actress is Renee Zellweger. She can be compared to the German actress Marlene Dietrich for an idea of differences.
Though both have blond hair, Renee is less Saxon in bone and facial structure than Marlene.
Renee's Saxon and Mongolian mixed look is very common in Norway.
In Germany, the eastern European look meets Saxon as opposed to the Lapps or Sami meets Saxon.
Germans can look like Austrian Arnold Scharzenegger or Germans Friedrich Nietzsche and Albert Einstien or Turkish actress Hülya Koçyiğit.
Depending on the region, many Germans may have brown hair and eyes. In other regions such as Northern Germany blond hair and blue eyes are common place.
Many people still assume all Germans and Scandinavians are all tall broad shouldered blond haired and blue eyed people of Hitlers war posters.
This false stereotype is the opposite of the truth. Hitler only selected one portion of the German population to idolize.
Though many Germans do have a square jaw and resemble Arnold Scharzenegger and Friedrich Nietzsche. There really is not a "one look fits all" Germans.
There is a lot of variation in Germany as anywhere.
A troll is the norwegian word for an ogre, but can not really be compared to anything. It is a beast often living in the woods, scary but it can have nice sides as well. Trolls are most often mentioned in norwegian tales or fairytales. They are big and stupid, easy manipulated. They are filthy and some of them have trees growing on their head. All of them have long hair. One do not believe that trolls exist, but rumor has it that they used to, but when they got hit by the sun, they turned into big rocks. That is the explanation why large rock can be found on weird places (they used to be a troll).
The most famous troll in Norway can be found in Hunderfossen Familepark in Lillehammer (yes, that is the olympic city) three houres away from the capital Oslo.
