Norway is also the country that Sweden have closest connection to, and the border between the two countries are as open as they could be, without a real toll gate were cars get stopped. To pass over by car is very simple, sometimes you might get stopped just for control.
Norway have a very small population with only 4.6 million people, wich only is half of what Sweden was. The capital is Oslo, located in the south of the country. Norway is a very mountaineous country and has a very stunning natural landskape.
