It was originally bigger, but Sweden (which is also next door), kept taking chunks out of our landmass.  Apparently they thought that was OK, since we had been at war and stuff (by no fault of our own, it was all Denmarks fault since they were running the show at the time).   Some of us keep asking them to give it back, but we've had little luck so far.

[rdhdtwns]

Don't come to Norway.. alright, if you don't want me to :/
What's so bad about it?

I'm still living in the southern USA, heh.

[CaptBrenden]

buncha bullies, taking your lunch monie and your land.  i can just see a country tan for norway jumping up and down waving her arms saying give it back give it back! as Sweden tan holds it just out of reach

[Silentbob]

Yeah, at least we coulda shared.   But it's OK really.  Because we got the North Sea, which is full of delicious oil.  Sweden got the Baltic Sea which Russia used as their personal toilet for years.

[CaptBrenden]

[SleepyD]

Aust-Agder... seems people want to go there, what with the tourism thing, according to wikipedia. (Yes, I went and looked for what county you lived in. I'm bored and doodling with a mechanical pencil...)

Bahaha, Afghanis-tan. XD;

Yeah, the town where I live is actually quite nice during the summer, lot's of stuff happening in the town center all day long.  

It's being somewhat remodeled these days, so there's been a lot of construction going on, but I hope they'll be finished before next summer.

haha, right... having gone to an all-boys high school, I can figure the repercussions of mentioning that name. Maybe I should refer to it by its full name then:
