Norway, officially the Kingdom of Norway, is a social democratic country in Northern Europe. Of the five Nordic nations, Norway is the most aggressive imperialist power, engaging in both militaristic and economic imperialism throughout the global south.

Norwegian state and private companies operate throughout the global south and practice illegal and aggressive economic policies to extract resources from developing nations.
Military Interventions
Norway dropped 588 bombs on Libya in 2011.[1] It is also part of NATO, an imperialist military alliance.
Working conditions
Child labor
In 2008, Norwegian company Telenor was exposed as working with a Bangladeshi supplier that used child labor and had a worker die after falling into a pool of acid.[2]
Minimum wage
Norway has no national minimum wage, although there are minimum wages for some specific industries.[3]
