Norway is a highly modernized country, utterly unlike Hutterites colonies, with small cities and much wilderness. They have high taxes and comprehensive social programme. They were incredibly wise to bank much of their oil revenue, but that policy has changed a bit recently. Canadian Provinces could have banked some resource revenues but voters supported a spending agenda. Every expenditure of government has a constituency. Wise government leads towards good decisions. Wisdom has been in short supply lately.

I've got a lot of family in Norway. They are forced to live very frugally due to extreme taxation. Whenever they come to visit us in Canada they are blown away by our purchasing power and our personal freedoms that we take for granted.

I also live smack dab in the middle of the highest concentration of Hutterite colonies in Canada and I can attest to their technological savvy and efficient means of production, but that wasn't really the point I was making when comparing Norway to Hutterites.
