Norway is a mountainous country whose northern half has very cold weather. Most of Norway’s land is covered with forest, even in the mountainous region. The wood of these forests is a good source of income for Norway. The northern circuit passes through the northern regions of this country. A part of the borders of Norway and Finland is formed by the “Tana” river.
Norwegian economy
Norway has many reserves such as crude oil, natural gas, minerals, aquatics, timber, fresh water and hydroelectric power. The oil industry accounts for about a quarter of the country’s gross domestic product, and the country has the fourth highest per capita income in the world. Norway follows the model of the welfare-oriented countries of Northern Europe, and in exchange for receiving heavy taxes from its citizens, the government grants them universal health insurance and It subsidizes higher education. There is also a comprehensive social security system in this country. From 2001 to 2006 and again from 2009 to 2011, Norway had the highest human development index in the world.

Meanwhile, in Britain this figure was 20% (1832), Sweden 5% (1866) and Belgium 1.15% (1840). According to the democracy index since 2010, Norway has been considered the most democratic government in the world. Social democracy and policies related to the equality of individual rights have made Norway a homogeneous society with a huge level of public trust between the social strata and between the people and the government. A high level of trust makes economic growth easier and smoother.
The Constitution of Norway was adopted on May 17, 1814, inspired by the Declaration of Independence of the United States (1776) and the French Revolution (1798).

However, after the establishment of a parliamentary system in this country, the duties of the king became highly ceremonial and ceremonial.
