Norway

Norway has a concept called 'friluftsliv' — a deep philosophical belief that spending time outdoors in nature is essential to human wellbeing, regardless of weather.

Norway's sovereign wealth fund — the Government Pension Fund Global — exceeds $1.7 trillion, making it the world's largest. It owns roughly 1.5% of all listed company shares on Earth.

In Svalbard, Norway, it is illegal to leave the town of Longyearbyen without a rifle. Polar bears outnumber people on the archipelago and can appear without warning.
