Norway is a peninsula, and Sweden is right beside it. Finland is on the north-western part of Norway, and Russia is on the tip of Norway. It is in north Europe, above England. The weather is very cold because of that. The highest temperature they get is actually around 65 degrees, but the lowest is around 27 degrees. The weather doesn't change a lot, and it barely rains either. It has 90 mm of rain, and in comparison the U.S.A gets around 767 mm of rain. Oslo is the capital of Norway, and that is where the climate data is from.

Language

Norway's official language is Norwegian (wow, shocking), but other official languages include Nynorsk, and Bokmal. A Noregian saying is " Alle fuglar kan ikkje vere falkar," which means that "All birds can not be hawks." That sounds grim, but these saying are realistic and this is their culture.
