Of course everyone wants to "marry" Norway, once forgotten and ignored, now--because the governments since the mid-1970s have been stashing away the petroleum revenues from the North Sea, and the investment fund (in a "lockbox," by the way) is way over $200 billion now.

Not only their elder cousins the Swedes, but the whole entire European Union wants to marry Norway, which if it dared joined the Union, would be the first member to join with a substantial bank-account rather than a substantial deficit and debt.....and would have to "share."

Money does wonders for the appearance of a woman.....

Ping for the Norway ping list; an old article, but--



It looks to me as if the Norwegians better pay closer attention to the imperial designs of their neighbors.
