About Norway

The flag of Norway was officially adopted on July 17, 1821. The red, white and blue colors are said to be influenced by the French Tricolore (as a symbol of liberty). Inspiration also came from the flags of the United Kingdom and the United States. The off-centered white cross (The Scandinavian Cross) is taken from the Danish flag, and the blue cross is the Cross of Sweden. Many etymologists believe the country's name comes from the North Germanic languages and that it means "the northward route" (the way north), which in Old Norse would be nor veg or *norð vegr.

The country's extensive coastline along the North Atlantic Ocean is home to its famous fjords. Norway also includes the Arctic island territories of Svalbard and Jan Mayen. Norwegian sovereignty of Svalbard is based upon the Svalbard Treaty, but this does not apply to Jan Mayen. Bouvet Island in the South Atlantic Ocean and claims for Peter I Island and Queen Maud Land in Antarctica are also external dependencies, but these are not part of the Kingdom.

Norway was ranked highest of all countries in human development from 2001 to 2006. Though it joined the European Free Trade Association, Norway rejected joining the European Union (EU) as its citizens and government remain hesitant and protective, and they outright refuse to lose their fishing rights and to change their standard of living. In fact, Norway still has the highest standard of living in the modern world. It rated the most peaceful country in the world in a 2007 survey by Global Peace Index.

This thoughtful and respectful "we against the world" attitude may eventually be modified, however, the unbelievable beauty of Norway will never change, and if you're ever fortunate enough to travel to this "Land of the Vikings" and the "Midnight Sun," you will quickly discover for yourself why Norwegians are so proud and so determined not to change a thing.
