IntroductionI chose to represent Norway in my presentation since my husband is of Norwegian descent.I found it interesting to learn that Norway had 4,908,100 inhabitants in September 2010, and is expected to pass 5 million people in March 2012. Also noteworthy, is the fact that the Norwegian Oil Industry has made Norway one of the wealthiest countries in the world. The Norwegian Parliament has established a Government Pension Fund that at the end of 2011 reached an impressive 3.08 billion Norwegian Kroner, which is approx. $ 531 billion US dollars.Menu
