Flag of the Kingdom of Norway
Norway, officially the Kingdom of Norway, is a Nordic European country whose core territory comprises the western and northernmost portion of the Scandinavian Peninsula. The modern nation has existed since 1905 after dissolution of its union with Sweden. The country remained neutral in World War II, but joined the Allies after it was invaded and occupied by Nazi Germany in 1940. The country was liberated following the end of World War II in 1945.
While not a member of the European Union, it maintains close ties with the organisation and was a founder member of the United Nations and NATO.
