The United States at least seems to think Norway is important econoff to have an active intelligence force on the ground. In 2010 it was revealed that the US Embassy had a special unit of 15-20 persons to do surveillance in Norway [0].

They did however operate in the same area (downtown Oslo). 1: http://www.newsinenglish.no/2010/11/08/still-no-answers-from-the-embassy/ http://www.newsinenglish.no/2010/11/08/still-no-answers-from...
