The period of recorded history in Norway begins about 900, when the Many battles ensued between the Viking districts. (on the americas, if one wanted to be deliberately contrarian, one could argue that the average European who moved to the americas – and their descendants – might well have been better off not to have)Bring in solar power, wind power, wave power and now you have an unlimited and infinite natural resource.Some big assumptions there Ross. For lightly-populated Norway they made a great deal of difference.For New Zealand, for whom extreme remoteness is a given, and where fixed natural resources make up so much of our export earnings, it is something to think about.
Of all fishermen, only half fish as their sole occupation. Norwegian art is less well known abroad.
The average temperature differences between the coldest month and the warmest is only 10–15 °C (18–27 °F) in coastal areas; some lighthouses have a yearly amplitude of just 10 °C (18 °F), such as Svinøy in The North Atlantic Current splits in two over the northern part of the Norwegian Sea, one branch going east into the Barents Sea and the other going north along the west coast of Normal monthly averages range from −17.1 °C (1.2 °F) in January in Karasjok 129 m (423 ft) The warmest temperature ever recorded in Norway is 35.6 °C (96.1 °F) in Compared to coastal areas, inland valleys and the innermost fjord areas have larger As seen from the table, Norway's climate shows large variations; but with the exception of a small area along the northeastern coast in Temperatures have tended to be higher in recent years, which may be a consequence of As a consequence of warming, summers last longer and winters are getting shorter.

To me it seems NZ and Iceland are quite similar – largely resource based (Iceland has large fisheries and energy resources – think things like aluminium smelting), very remote; and yet, with only 300,000 people it supports a GDP per capita far in excess of NZ ($46,000 per capita vs $36000 for NZ, thereabouts), with commensurate high living standards.
