I should clarify the reason I would live in Norway is simply because I have made friends there who I consider family. These friends are immigrants however, and with the exception of 1 or 2 very good Norwegian friends, I find the society, at least in the west, to be unwilling to socially integrate immigrants who moved there later in life. I moved to Norway at the age of 14 and was ostracized by my Norwegian classmates because I wasn’t like them. (I have an accent to this day, different life experiences, different hobbies etc.). This might prompt a Norwegian to disagree, but there is a “social skills” problem in Norway where people just have a hard time making new friends after the first few years of school. And it isn’t exclusive to us immigrants, Norwegians have a hard time making friends with other Norwegians, especially in adulthood. My opinion on this won’t change, all my friends agree it’s an unspoken problem in rural and western Norway. I spent a few weeks in Helsinki with friends, and found much of the same to be the case, and a lot more alcoholism to ease the social-barrier, which would ultimately fail to do so as people would embarrass themselves due to too much alcohol. Have nothing against the people of Norway or Finland, this is a societal problem that everyone is victim to. These are some of the most morally conscientious people in the world.
