There is a funfact about the relationship between Nepal and Norway that should be mentioned. Due to the preservation of the mountains, it's not really allowed to drive heavy machinery up the mountains. Since people (tourists?) want to go to the top of mountains, Sherpas from Nepal are payed to build stairs up various mountains to make it easier to access. The stones are either air lifted with a helicopter, and moved slightly, or carried up. There are a lot of stone stairs that are not made by the sherpas obviously, but it's still a fun fact. So you can come to Norway and just walk a long ass staircase up a mountain.

Two other small corrections: 15:30 The constitution was signed before the Swedish union began. However, the swedes let us keep it. 18:30 Spoken Swedish is closer to spoken Norwegian. Written Danish is closer to written Norwegian, as it resembles old Norwegian in many ways. At least in "Bokmål" which is the most used written language. Overall a really well made video.
