Norway is a minor nation in northern Europe. It shares a land border with Sweden (+20) and Finland (-10).

Historical Background

Norway stayed neutral until the 9. of April 1940, when Germany invaded both Denmark and Norway. While there were strategic reasons for holding a large, mountainous coastline in the Atlantic, one main reason for the invasion was the port of Narvik, through which iron from Kiruna, Sweden, flowed. These resources were vital for the German war effort, so securing the supply lane was critical. The invasion was called Operation Weserübung.

Diplomacy

Norway is part of no alliance at the beginning of the campaign. Because of its socialist government it has good relations with other democracies (+10) and socialist countries (+20). Germany has a focus that lets it increase fascism support in Norway, though the AI does not take this path with historical focus on. It rather takes Operation Weserübung. In addition, the Soviet Union has the focus "Baltic Security" which gives the same for communism.
