I think so. Long country north across the sea from the bulk of Europe. I do admit I sometimes mix up Norway's location with Sweden, but I think it's the one just west of Finland.

Edit: Gah. Mixed it up with Sweden again.

Yeah I can find it on a map.

The first associations are cold mountains, ice, crystal skies and The Snow Queen.

I think of snow, and the 1990 movie "Shipwrecked".

Maps are old school.
I can find Norway on Google Earth, no problem.
