Norway
Norway, often known as the Land of the Midnight Sun, has a history as striking as its fjords. With independence declared in 1905 after a peaceful dissolution from Sweden, Norway's narrative is deeply rooted in its Viking ancestry, which can be traced back to the 8th century. These maritime explorers set the stage for a nation built on seafaring prowess and rich cultural traditions. The rugged landscape, shaped by glaciers and time, has given rise to a resilient people whose love for nature is as intrinsic as their storied history of explorers, kings, and commonfolk who've braved the Arctic cold to carve out a life in one of the world's most breathtaking environments.
