Norway

Norway, officially the Kingdom of Norway (Norwegian: Kongeriket Norge or
Kongeriket Noreg) is a Nordic country on the western portion of the
Scandinavian Peninsula, bordering Sweden, Finland and Russia.
Norway has a very elongated shape; the country's extensive coastline
along the North Atlantic Ocean is home to its famous fjords. The Kingdom
of Norway also includes the Arctic island territories of Svalbard and Jan Mayen.
The Norwegian sovereignty on Svalbard is based on the Svalbard Treaty,
but this does not apply to Jan Mayen. Bouvet Island in the South Atlantic
Ocean and a claim for Peter I Island in the South Pacific Ocean are also
external dependencies, but these are not part of the Kingdom.
Norway also claims Queen Maud Land in Antarctica.

Its citizens enjoy a high standard of living in a country that is generally
perceived as clean and modern.
