In Norway, we divide the country in 5 parts:

• Nord-Norge - North Norway, the north

• Trøndelag - middle Norway, the home of the Trønders

• Vestlandet - West Country, the western coastline south of Trøndelag

• Sørlandet - South Country, the southern bit

• Østlandet - East Country, anything east of West Country, north of South Country and south of Trøndelag

The north is seen as loud swearing vulgarly promiscuous fishermen, Trøndelag is seen as full of moonshine drinking leather vest wearing moustachioed sort of backwards people, the west is seen as arrogant, oil rich, uptight with every fjord having their own incomprihensible dialect, the south is Bible country (and in the case of the largest city Kristiansand, heroin country) and the east is seen as either arrogant Oslo dicks or farmers with thick dialects.

Some cities also have stereotypes; Oslo is the largest city and the capital, so everyone from there and living there are better people. Media has an Oslo centric view on the country, and Oslo can often be said to be a seperate part of the country because it's so different. Bergen is the second largest city and Bergen people are in your face, brash, loud braggarts with immense pride for their city as well as an inferiority complex towards Oslo. Stavanger people are rich uptight assholes who will bring up oil in any conversation.
