Things You Might Have Wrong About My Adopted Country:
It’s not tiny. It’s quite thin in parts, but also very long. Imagine if you took a thin slice off the US East Coast; that’s about how long Norway is.
The whole country has access to electricity, running water, telephone service, and all those things. Norwegians can in fact be real technofreaks; we usually come out near the top on surveys about Internet usage, cell phone ownership, and so on.
Fishing is not our major industry. Most of our foreign trade income is from oil and gas, and from shipping. Most people are employed in service industries, just like in any other Western country.
We don’t eat a whole lot of fish any more, either, though possibly more than you do. We have coffee bars, burger chains, sushi bars, and kebab stands, though we still like grandmother’s meatballs or sour cream porridge with sugar and cinnamon on top.
About the whole Midnight Sun thing - you can only actually see the sun at midnight in the northernmost parts of the country, for a short time each summer. These places don’t see the sun at all for a corresponding short time each winter. If you are someplace where you can see the sun at midnight, it won’t stand still in the southern sky all the time. It will move in a complete circle in the sky, so that at midnight it will be low in the northern sky. No, really. Get a penlight and a globe and try it out for yourself.
The climate is varied. Except in the far north, the real biting bring-in-the-brass-monkeys cold is mostly confined to inland areas. Along the coast, winters can be long, but not bone-chilling, and on the West coast, more wet than cold. Besides, we know how to dress for it.
It’s cross-country/Nordic skiing, not downhill/slalom/Alpine, that is stereotypically associated with Norway, though many people enjoy those, too, and Norway has had world-class athletes in all skiing disciplines.
The whole country is not covered in mountains. Although 2/3 of the land area is considered unproductive mountains and highlands, most people live in the flat areas of the country. 1 in 4 live in and around Oslo, for instance.
Sweden and Denmark are different countries. We tend to like the Danes, and enjoy annoying Swedes.
We do not “walk around naked”, though we do have different standards of modesty than Americans. Women might be topless on the beach or at the pool (though lately that’s gone out of fashion), and don’t much care if you catch a glimpse of nipple when they feed their babies, but a topless woman walking down a city street would be quite shocking.
No polar bears live in Norway, unless you count Svalbard or Jan Mayen, which most Norwegians would not - they are Arctic islands, far from the mainland. No penguins, either; they’re only in the Southern Hemisphere. You might be thinking of puffins, which you will indeed find along the coast.
Whether we’re a “socialist” country or not depends on your definition of socialist. We have a democratic constitution and a parliament. Yes, we do have a king. He’s a nice guy. Even the hard-core republicans like him 
Part of the reason we like him is that he keeps out of politics except as an impartial observer.
