Norway
Norway is a Scandinavian country known for its dramatic fjords, significant oil wealth, and consistent ranking as one of the world's happiest and most prosperous nations.
Transformed from a modest fishing and farming economy into one of the world's wealthiest nations following the discovery of offshore oil, this Scandinavian country has invested its resource wealth into one of the largest sovereign wealth funds on Earth.
Dramatic Fjord Landscapes
Norway's coastline is famously carved by deep fjords, narrow inlets formed by ancient glacial activity, creating some of the most dramatic and photographed natural landscapes in the world.
Oil Wealth and Sovereign Investment
The discovery of significant offshore oil reserves in the late 1960s transformed Norway's economy, with resulting revenue invested into one of the world's largest sovereign wealth funds.
Consistently Ranked Among the Happiest Nations
Norway regularly ranks among the world's happiest and most prosperous countries in international surveys, credited to strong social welfare systems and high standards of living.
The Land of the Midnight Sun
Portions of northern Norway lie within the Arctic Circle, experiencing continuous daylight during summer months and correspondingly extended darkness during winter.
