And yet the first 4 things you choose to compare Norway to are, conspicuously, not countries. If we want to compare Norway to a country, by wealth and population it makes about as much sense to talk about Liechtenstein and Luxembourg than Saudi Arabia, Australia or Canada (other resource rich countries, in case you're wondering). Qatar too, which is ... basically a big city.
