It’s come to this. The junior partner in the Norwegian government, the Socialist Left Party of Kristin Halvorsen, (Sosialistisk Venstreparti), plans to vote on a measure calling for military action against Israel if it decides to act against the Hamas in Gaza. Norway, Israel and the Jews blog informs the Tundra Tabloids of the following: Socialistic Left dubious moral tradeoff for bombing Libya: Use armed force against Israel
OSLO, Norway (AP) — Norway will scale down its fighter jet contribution in Libya from six to four planes and withdraw completely from the NATO-led operation by Aug. 1, the government said Friday.

I'm norwegian, but can't think of any very LARGE problems, but here are some challenges/issues: -What to do after the oil is gone? A lot of the jobs in Norway today is related to the offshore industry. Norway is one of the wealthies countries in the world because of the oil reserves on the North sea shelf. The countries income is a lot bigger than the national budget. The excess money is put in an "oil fund" to save for future generations as the oil won't last forever. However, Norway is currently trying to focus more on renewable energy hoping that this "industry" in the future can take the offshore industrys place. Currently wind turbines at sea is a major priority area.
-EU-membership: Norway is not a member of the EU. Every time this has been up for a vote, the vote has been very close, but always in favour of the "No" side. There are many reasons for the scepticism: One is fishing which is still a large trade for Norway. The EU wants larger rights to fish in the norwegian waters which off course Norway does not like. But the way I see it is that the larger issue is that Norway is a VERY small country (4,5 mill people) but with a lot of natural resources. The fear is that we will lose control of these and also not have a very large say in where the money will be spent. All in all: will there be a great amount of cash flowing out of the country and not a great deal in??
-Health Care: It is free for everyone, BUT at the moment there are problems with cutbacks. There are usually a waiting list for non-emergent operations and some hospitals have to little capacity and have to place patients in corridors.
-Integration of immigrants (like almost everywhere else...)
-The cruise tourismcauses a lot of pollution in fjords and cities. You can often sea photos of cruise ships in the well known Geirangerfjorden with a lot of black smoke coming out og their chimneys and leaving a haze around the whole area as the mountains block it from getting out... (This might be an interesting project for you if you are American considering that Americans are the largest group travelling by cruise ships.
OK, these are some issues, can't think of something else right now, but I'm sure you have plenty to choose from here.
The 3 empires, including the holy see, are merged into the fourth reicht.

LONDON (AP) - In the wake of Norway's terrorist attack, the European police agency is setting up a task force of more than 50 experts to help northern European countries investigate non-Islamic terror threats, its spokesman told The Associated Press on Saturday.
Soeren Pedersen said the group, which is based in The Hague, hopes to help Norway and nearby countries in their investigations in the coming weeks. He said Norway has not requested forensic experts but that Europol could provide them if needed.
"There is no doubt that the threat from Islamist terrorism is still valid," he said. "But there have actually been warnings that (right-wing groups) are getting more professional, more aggressive in the way they attract others to their cause."
Since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, European countries have viewed Islamic terrorism as the primary threat. But the fact the suspect in Friday's twin attacks turned out to be a Norwegian with right-wing views is raising questions about whether homegrown, non-Islamic terror threats have been neglected.
The alleged assailant was identified by Norway's national broadcaster as Anders Behring Breivik, 32; police would not confirm his identity because he has not been formally charged.
Authorities say he posted comments on Christian fundamentalist websites and reportedly held anti-Muslim views. He was also once a member of the youth wing of a rightist party.
In leaked diplomatic cables dating back to 2008, U.S. diplomats warned that Norway seemed complacent about terror threats and criticized gaps in intelligence. The cables released by Wikileaks also give a snapshot of simmering anti-immigrant and anti-Semitic tensions in Norway.
Anti-immigrant sentiment has grown in Norway as tensions rose over its policy of taking in conflict refugees.
In the 1990s, it welcomed immigrants from the Balkans. Years later, it opened its doors to large numbers of Iraqi refugees. The Norwegian government has said it expects some 15,000 new arrivals this year, many from Iraq, Afghanistan, Eritrea and Somalia.
Europe has seen an overall increase in xenophobia, boosting the ranks of ultranationalists and fueling their activity. Still, experts and officials across Europe say the main terror threat hovering over the continent remains Islamic jihadism. They suggest that the overall danger posed by European political extremists, both from left and right, is relatively small—but that anybody with the will and the means has a chance of wreaking devastation.
