I did get around Norway and noticed a rough difference even in physical stature between those from royal or elite families and those who fit the sturdy Norwegian farmer profile. Sturdy Norwegian farmers are my kind of people, I later married one, American, but all Norwegian lineage. Urbanization is happening here in the US too. The metropolitan populations are creating regulation for the sparse rural populations that sometimes make rural operation difficult. There is an increasing disparity in understanding between rural and urban dwellers.
