Norway is a country in Northern Europe. Its population is about 5 million, its official language is Norwegian and its capital and largest city is Oslo.
Norway's history can be traced back to the Viking age (8-11th century), when Scandinavians traveled abroad on longships as raiders, explorers, settlers and traders. The Norwegian kingdom was established in the mid 11th century, but started declining around 1349 when the Black Death spread there and killed much of the population. Norway subsequently entered unions with Denmark and Sweden in the 14-15th century and 19th century respectively. Norway remained neutral during World War I, and claimed neutrality again in World War II but was still occupied by Nazi Germany from 1940 to 1945.
Norway is currently ruled by a constitutional monarchy, with King Harald V as the head of state and the Prime Minister as the head of government. It is a member of the United Nations, NATO and other regional and international organizations. It is a highly developed country with high standards of healthcare, education and social security.
