Norway is located in Northern Europe, with the North Atlantic Ocean to the north and west, Sweden to the east, and the North Sea to the south. It covers an area slightly larger than New Mexico. The climate is temperate along the coast, colder inland, and rainy year-round in the west. The terrain is glaciated, consisting mostly of high plateaus and rugged mountains broken by fertile valleys. There are some small, scattered plains, a coastline deeply indented by fjords (one of the longest and most rugged in the world), and arctic tundra in the north. Natural resources include petroleum, minerals, natural gas, fish, timber and hydropower.

From the mid-1970s, Norway has been a major oil exporter, having discovered large deposits of both oil and natural gas in the North Sea. The Norwegian economy is dominated by its oil and gas industry, (only Saudi Arabia and Russia export more oil than Norway). There is little cultivable land in Norway, however, many farmers breed livestock, combining this with tree felling to supply Norway's numerous sawmills. Consequently, wood products and paper are both thriving industries. Offshore fishing has been in decline for some time, although a large number of fish farms have been established, making Norway by far the world's largest supplier of salmon. Heavy engineering industries, principally shipbuilding and machinery, have also declined (although Norway retains a large merchant fleet). However, the country has sustained its economic prosperity through development of an exceptionally strong energy sector. Norway has abundant resources for hydroelectric power, the development of which has allowed greatly reduced overheads for heavy industries, such as aluminum production. Norway enjoys a wholly liberalized trade regime with EU members but rejected membership in the EU as late as 1994. Norway's gross domestic product (GDP) is comprised of: agriculture (2%), industry (37%), and services (61%).
