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.
