Norway, Oslo

Norway (officially the Kingdom of Norway), is a unitary sovereign state in Northwestern Europe whose core territory comprises the western and northernmost portion of the Scandinavian Peninsula. From the 8th to the 10th century, the wider Scandinavian region was the source of Vikings. The looting of the monastery at Lindisfarne in Northeast England in 793 by Norse people has long been regarded as the event which marked the beginning of the Viking Age. Today, Norway ranks very high in terms of life quality, health care quality, stability, press freedom, and income.

Oslo, founded in the year 1040, is the capital and most populous city of Norway. It constitutes both a county and a municipality. Oslo is considered a global city and was ranked "Beta World City" in studies carried out by the Globalization and World Cities Study Group and Network in 2008.It was ranked number one in terms of quality of life among European large cities in the European Cities of the Future.
