What Made Norway Great?

What Made Norway Great?
Turns out Norway was once a shithole country from which 25% of it's workforce emigrated to the U.S. for better conditions. Norwegians were then able to demand better wages for a less numerous work force. This resulted in Norway becoming one of the richest welfare states in history. Norwegian Americans were destined to become the butt of Garrison Keillor jokes.

Climate ?

Natural selection ??
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I hate to sound my pinko trumpet, but this is yet another case of a country being "great" due to workers being empowered.

Was Norway ever consecrated to the heart of Jesus ??

It's the lutefisk that did it.

Some countries actually understand what a successful and (more) ethical capitalist economy looks like. As an American, though, I wouldn't know anything abiut that.
