	Norway
		Norway was a nonbelligerent during World War I, but as a result of the German invasion and occupation during World War II, Norwegians generally became skeptical of the concept of neutrality and turned instead to collective security.
		The landscape is generally rugged and mountainous, topped by glaciers and its coastline of over 20,000 km is punctuated by steep-sloped inlets known as fjords, as well as a multitude of islands and islets.
		Norway straddles the North Atlantic Ocean for its entire length, bound by three different seas: the North Sea to the southwest and its large inlet the Skagerak[?] to the south, the Norwegian Sea to the west and the Barents Sea to the northeast.

		Physical culture is also important in one of the most prosperous nations in the world.
		Norway's culinary traditions show the influence of long seafaring and farming traditions with salmon (fresh and cured), herring (pickled or marinated), trout, codfish and other seafood balanced by cheeses, dairy products and excellent breads (predominantly dark/darker).

	Books : Culture Shock! Norway (Culture Shock! Guides) at Connected Globe
		This book contains very little useful information on Norwegian culture and etiquette -- and is a rather poorly structured continuum of platitudes and commonplaces with limited practical application, especially for someone already familiar with Western civilization (!) in general.
		As I write this review from Førde, Norway, I realize that Culture Shock!: Norway gives a fairly realistic view of the culture and society that makes Norway one of the most diverse countries in Scandinavia.
		I read the book after having lived in Norway 4 months and was quite surprised that it gave such an accurate description of Norwegian mentality, custom, and etiquette.
