'''Norway''' is a country in the peninsula of [[Scandinavia]]. The capital is [[Oslo]], and the principal language in [[Norwegian]], though Sami languages are also spoken in the far north. Norway is one of the few former Western Bloc nations not in the [[European Union]] but is a member of the Schengen Agreement group of countries which permit cross-border travel without passport control. It belongs to [[NATO]] and is a strong ally of the United States.

Norway has escaped the [[Recession of 2008]] largely unscathed, partly by tapping into its oil and gas-fueled sovereign wealth fund — currently valued at more than 2.4 trillion kroner ($400 billion). Unemployment stands at 3%, among the lowest in Europe.
