Alfred Nobel made an organization about nobel prizes. There are some sorts of nobel prize such as peace activist, physician, writer and so on. I don't think nobel prize is given by a particular country. It is given by an organization. Alfred left a lot of money to creat an organization that chooses winners of nobel prize who help in many different ways for the whole community, country, world and human beings. He wrote a will about that. I don't know much about it , but I'm sure you'll know a bit about nobel prize after you read it.
