Facts & figuresAs you can see, Norway is a long, narrow country, almost 1,750 km from north to south. We like to say that if it were possible to swing Norway down by its most southerly point, it would reach all the way to the Mediterranean. The area covered by Norway is roughly the same as that of Great Britain, Italy or Japan. You will appreciate that with a population of only 4.3 million, we have plenty of space compared with many other countries. Form of government: Constitutional monarchy Population: 4.3 million Area: 386,958 sq.km (incl. Svalbard & Jan Mayen) Length of coastline: 2,650 km (about 22,000 km, if the fjords are included) Geography | Culture | Society | Environment | History | Bytes+Pieces | Home | Search |
