Atmosphere of Norway: politics
Geographically, Norway is divided into nineteen regions, with the capital of the country, the city of Oslo, having the status of region. Each region, in turn, is divided into districts, the so-called communes. District council is the first level of the self-government. Deputies get into its structure by direct voting of citizens and they get to stay in office for a period of 4 years. The local governments of Norway are endowed with enormous powers. They even regulate the issues of taxation and financing. The Police of each district are however under the chain of command of the state department, and not to the local self-governmental bodies. There is a multi-party political system running in the Country, and Norwegians are very fond of discussing serious political problems. Despite the factual opposition of various party platforms, conflicts in the country are very rare, and there have been no mass clashes on political grounds for the last several decades.
