Norway is the northernmost country in Western Europe. Most of the country has little soil to cover its rugged rocky surface, and this has hindered both transportation and agriculture. Only 3 percent of the land can be used for growing crops or as pastureland. Norway is, however, rich in other natural resources, including oil and natural gas; it is now one of Europe's richest countries.
