I'm about a day too late, mostly cuz I've been busy celebrating myself, but I'm a patriot, so allow me to gush about my glorious nation.
The Constitution of Norway was signed at Eidsvoll on May 17 in the year 1814. The constitution declared Norway to be an independent kingdom in an attempt to avoid being ceded to Sweden after Denmark–Norway's devastating defeat in the Napoleonic Wars.
So now, here are a couple nice things we norwegians do and have
Brunost ("brown cheese") is a common, Norwegian name for mysost ("whey cheese"; Danish: myseost; Swedish: mesost; Finnish: meesjuusto; Icelandic: mysuostur), a family of cheese-related foods made with whey, milk, and/or cream. It is often used to just refer to the Gudbrandsdalsost ("Gudbrandsdal Cheese") type, which is the most popular variety. Brunost is primarily produced and consumed in Norway. It is regarded as one of the country's most iconic foodstuffs, and is considered an important part of Norwegian gastronomical and cultural identity and heritage. It's also really yummy and goes well with jam.
Winter sports are important to every Norwegian person. Skiing, alpine skiing and so on are so widespread, that there's a saying that goes "Every Norwegian is born with skis on their feet."
No other country has won as many medals in winter olympics as Norway, and following the Olympics is considered a requirement when airing on television.
The Bunad is a traditional outfit usually worn during holidays, like the 17th of May. There are many regional variants, each with their own colours and designs as seen above. It's also really itchy,warm and heavy, and takes a lot of time to maintain, but damn it looks good.
In the last days April and towards the 17th of May, the senior students in their last semester of high school celebrate nearly being done with 13 years of school. Russ usually wear coloured overalls, the colour varying based on what kind of education they have. It's also pretty normal to renovate a bus or van to drive around to parties, as seen above. Russ form groups and make songs, festivals, accomplish different challenges, and, of course, party hard every day.
This is what a standard parade looks like, with tons of flags, people, song and marching bands playing. Norway doesn't display military, police or other official institutions on this day, but rather children from tons of different schools march at the front of the parade as a show to our belief in the future of our nation.
So once more,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NORWAY!!!! WOOO
