Oil, wealth and abundance, fjords, spectacular scenery.

Also, when I think of Norway, I think of how cool it might be to go there.

The whole reason why the South Park thing is funny though is because Canada is such a likable, friendly neighbor. That's the joke.

I'm not sure how I managed to miss the H in South Park.
Eitherway, I guess that's probably the reason Randy thinks you guys hate canada. I suppose you know who Randy Marsh is?

I should admit that I actually typed 'soutpark' before I thought about his name.
Weird

Thanks for the loads of awesome and generally amusing answers!

Seems people generally think of cold, nature, vikings, black metal and fjords with some possible side dish of wealth. I guess that's the image we export which is alright. None of that would be wrong thoughts, but Norway's not a neutral country though! Burning Down, you may have mixed Norway and Sweden there Sweden is a neutral country and not a member of NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) like we are.
