Resource economy that recognized it couldn't be for long, and directed the proceeds into a long-term repositioning strategy. Strong understanding of values + ideal place in the world.
Basically what Canada should have done years ago.

Check out the Norwegian show “Okkupert” (Occupied) on Netflix if you have the time. It’s wild fiction but I learnt a few things about the country. Also really entertaining.

Also remember that Scandinavians (well, technically Danes rather than Norwegians) more or less invented parliamentary democracy in Iceland. Or at least, they have a long tradition of "lets get together to discuss things" even if the discussions were "who brings the biggest mob"

The vikings are legit. Get up to speed on a little Norse mythology and you realize that it's hidden everywhere. 6/7 days of the week, the MCU, everywhere man!
