Natural Resources

Norway doesn't have that many natural resources, but I could name a few. Oil and petroleum are the two main resources, and one of the minor ones is fishing.

Climate

Norway has brutal winters and it snows all the time. The winters would probably drive people away, because some people like warm weather all year round.






In the Summer (despite the brutal Winters) the high points could reach about 86 degrees Fahrenheit, It's kind of like Wisconsin, but without the really hot days.
