GET TO KNOW NORWAY — wear your heritage, and learn it too.

Where in the world: Norway is a Northern European country on the western side of the Scandinavian Peninsula, facing the Atlantic Ocean, with Sweden, Finland and Russia as land neighbors. Its capital is Oslo, and its long coastline is cut by deep fjords.

People: about 5.6 million inhabitants. Statistics Norway does not record ethnicity, so no official ethnic percentages exist; estimates put ethnic Norwegians at about 80%, with about 21% of residents of immigrant background (2024) — led by Poles, Swedes, Ukrainians, Lithuanians and Somalis. The Indigenous Sámi people, whose homeland Sápmi spans the far north, number an estimated 40,000–65,000 in Norway.

Language: Norwegian is the official language, with two written forms, Bokmål and Nynorsk. Sámi is official in Sámi areas in the north.

Religion: mostly Lutheran, and one of the most secular countries in the world. In 2024, 61.7% of the population belonged to the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Norway. About 18.3% were unaffiliated (2019), with Catholics at about 3.1% and Muslims at about 3.4% (2019). Regular church attendance is very low, estimated at about 2%.

Economy: one of the richest countries per person on earth, built on oil and gas, seafood (especially salmon), shipping and hydropower — and home to the world's largest sovereign wealth fund. GDP is about $483.6 billion (2024), GDP per capita about $86,686 (2024). Its currency is the Norwegian krone.

Safety in context: Norway is one of the safest countries in the world. Its homicide rate was about 0.7 per 100,000 people in 2023 (UNODC/World Bank) — among the lowest anywhere. Tourist areas like Oslo, Bergen, the fjords and Tromsø are generally visited with normal precautions.

Must-see places: Oslo, Bergen and its Bryggen wharf, the Geirangerfjord and Sognefjord, Tromsø and the northern lights, the Lofoten Islands, the Flåm Railway and the stave churches.
