Norway

The **Kingdom of Norway** ([|Norwegian]: //Kongeriket Norge - bokmål; Kongeriket Noreg - nynorsk//) is a [|Nordic country] on the western portion of the [|Scandinavian Peninsula], located in Europe, and 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 upon 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] where it has established the [|Troll] permanent research station.(from Wikipedia)
