Norway

*"This could be Asgard. Asgard is where our people stand."*
―Odin to Thor[src]**Norway**, officially the **Kingdom of Norway**, is a Scandinavian country located in Northern Europe.

In 965 A.D., the Frost Giants of Jotunheim led by Laufey, fought an army of Asgardians ed by Odin. A single warrior from the Asgardian Berserker Army decided to stay behind on Earth when the rest of the army returned to Asgard.

During World War II, Johann Schmidt stole the Tesseract from Norway.

In 2013, The Berserker Staff was recovered, and fell into the hands of Phil Coulson and his team.

In 2015, Tony Stark went to the NEXUS Internet Hub in Oslo to find who the person was that prevented Ultron from getting nuclear codes. It was revealed that it was J.A.R.V.I.S. and Stark managed to recover him.

Elliot Randolph was visited by Phil Coulson, Bobbi Morse, and Leo Fitz who asked for his assistance in studying an ancient Monolith which had sucked Jemma Simmons through a portal to another world. Randolph refused to help as he claimed that he would rather keep his Asgardian identity a secret from the already fearful public. Desperate to keep under the radar, Randolph was left with no choice but to reluctantly agree to help in their investigation. Randolph ripped the bars from his cell and walked out, when the guards arrived to investigate the noise, Randolph calmly blamed the damage on Coulson before walking free.

In 2016, Natasha Romanoff went into hiding in Sæbø, Norway, using a motorhome and amenities provided to her by Rick Mason. Mason also delivered her a briefcase that was addressed to her from Budapest, alongside paperwork pertaining to the operation she was part of in the city years prior. Shortly afterwards, Taskmaster appeared, and attempted to assassinate Romanoff by pushing her car off a bridge, and after a brief confrontation that ended with Romanoff falling in the river, took the briefcase, only to find it empty, as Romanoff managed to take the Red Dust from inside it.

In 2017, Thor and Loki returned to Earth searching for their father. Thor received help from Doctor Strange who sent him and Loki through an Inter-Dimensional Portal to Norway. Once in Norway, Thor and Loki found Odin and sat next to him, as he talked to them, until he died and faded away. Odin's death freed Thor and Loki's sister, Hela from her imprisonment in Hel and she appeared through a portal. After Hela destroyed Mjølnir, Thor and Loki escaped using the Bifrost Bridge.

In May 2018, half of all life in Norway disintegrated into dust. The catastrophic number of the population lost was recorded on the global records, but known only to the Avengers.

Tønsberg was repopulated by Valkyrie and the surviving Asgardians, along with Korg and Miek. Thor arrived to meet them and they renamed the town as New Asgard. Over the next three years, the Asgardians lived peacefully as fishermen, accepting the fact that their days of battles and glory were over. However, one day in 2021, Bruce Banner and Rocket Raccoon arrived on the Benatar in Tønsberg, informed Thor about the Time Heist and were successful in getting his help.

As a result of the Blip, Norway’s population was restored. Afterwards, Thor returned to Tønsberg and declared Valkyrie the new leader of New Asgard. The Guardians of the Galaxy arrived and waited for him in the Benatar, while he said his goodbyes and left with them.

In 2022, Norway joined the Global Repatriation Council and a camp was set up in Oslo. However, the Flag Smashers targeted the camp on their campaign.

That summer, the news station, SBN, reported that their was inner political turmoil within New Asgard.
