To a Norwegian, a lack of spacious countryside equals urbanity - and the Norwegians are suspicious of any urban culture, especially foreign urban culture. It is, they think, a den of sinful behaviour where people sit around in cafés drinking coffee and achieving nothing, and, for Norwegians, achieving nothing is the biggest sin of all.

It's not that a Norwegian puts doubt and negativity aside; these thoughts simply do not enter his mind.

How Norwegians think others see them

Norwegians believe that no-one outside Scandinavia knows the difference between any of the Scandinavian countries. (They are usually right in this belief.) They are also convinced that every foreigner thinks that Norway is the capital of Sweden. (They are often right in this belief, too.)

Nationalism & Identity

Norwegians define themselves in simple terms: they are not Swedish. This simple definition comes from centuries of being dominated both politically and culturally by the Swedes, and millions of foreigners believing Norway to be the capital of Sweden (it's not, just in case you are unsure).
To show the world that they are Norwegian and definitely not Swedish, every Norwegian, at any moment in time, will be wearing an item of clothing with a Norwegian flag on it.
