Geographic Distribution
As with many of the people from European countries, Norwegians are spread throughout the world. There are more than 100,000 Norwegian citizens living abroad permanently, mostly in the U.S.A., U.K., and other Scandinavian countries.
Once one forgoes his or her Norwegian citizenship, he or she ceases to be Norwegian. Despite this, some people choose to continue see themselves as having ethnic or cultural ties to Norway; as such, they may include the word "Norwegian" in their description for themselves (for example, in the United States, Norwegian-Americans).

Famous quotes containing the word distribution:
“The man who pretends that the distribution of income in this country reflects the distribution of ability or character is an ignoramus. The man who says that it could by any possible political device be made to do so is an unpractical visionary. But the man who says that it ought to do so is something worse than an ignoramous and more disastrous than a visionary: he is, in the profoundest Scriptural sense of the word, a fool.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
