What's the population in the country? 
The population in USA is 318,860,032, which means that it is about 65 times more people in the US than in Norway which was estimated to be at 5,147,792 in july 2014. Norway actually has the lowest population density in continental Europe, with only 11 persons per square kilometers. 

Where do the people live in this country?
The population in Norway is very unevenly distributed across the country, but about 70 % lives in the cities. Over half of the people lives in and around Oslo in the southeast. 

What are the populations of the two cities you used? 
Oslo is the most populous city in Norway with 634,463 people measured in january 2014. Honningsvaag on the other hand has as little as 2367 inhabitants. In january 2013 Honningsvaag had 2416 inhabitants, so the city has actually lost approximately 50 people during the last year. 

What type of agriculture do they have and what type of diet do they have?
It is not many big areas in Norway that is suited for agriculture. Norway consists mostly of smallholdnings which is runned privately and mostly part time. There are also many farmers that only produce enough food to provide for themselves in their daily life. The type of agriculture that exists though is animal husbandry, crops- vegetables- and potatoes production. 

The Norwegian diet is relatively healthy and includes lots of seafood like salmon, cod, lute fish, and pickled herring, just to mention a few. Besides the seafood norwegians eats a lot of mutton, reindeer meat, meatballs and so on. For breakfast, lunch and also for evening meals norwegians often makes sandwiches. A lot of people also put smoked salmon or herring on their toast. A lot of the food in Norway is local and it is a main focus for the norwegian people to purchase fresh fish and meat. But of course, the norwegian diet has also been influenced by other countries around the world, especially during the last 15 years or so. So there is also a lot of mexican food as taco, italian food as pizzas and fast-food incorporated in the norwegian diet. 

Are industry and tourism related to geography and climate?
I would say that both the industry and the tourism in Norway are related to geography and climate.

Norway is one of the most wealthiest countries in the world. The wealthiness is due to Norway's access to several energy sources as oil, gas and water. The petroleum industry is highly important for norwegian economy. Also, hydropower represents 99 % of all power generation in Norway. Norway is also the biggest supplier of fish in Europe. 

The most popular and important tourist attractions in Norway are all natural tourist attractions. What you could expect from visiting Norway is tall mountains peaks, waterfalls, fjords, northern lights and the midnight sun. The biggest tourist attractions are Hardangerfjord, Geirangerfjord and Sognefjord which are all beautiful fjords, and also Trollstigen, Preikestolen and Nordkapp which are all tremendous and astonishingly mountains with observation decks.
