Almost a Full Moon

Dear Norway,

This evening I was fortunate enough to have dined on a fine slab of barbecued salmon from one of your salmon farms. It was absolutely delicious. A huge improvement over those little red tins of sardines with the gold and black lettering on them. Congratulations to all of you, on a job well done. Keep up the good work.

It has not escaped my attention, however, that your people are called Norwegians, even though the name of your fine country is Norway. This inconsistency has probably had some subtle, and some not so subtle consequences in your dealings with the rest of the world. Since the population of your country is large, and they might not all like have their identities changed to "Norwayians", I would recommend that you change the name of your country to "Norwegia". That way all your people could still continue to be Norwegians, and things would just be more sensible. You just might notice some improvement in your interactions with the rest of the world as world as well.

Once you have changed your name, I might actually grace your fine country with a visit. In any case I'll look forward to hearing about it.

Your humble Friend and Saviour,
