List Of Regions Of Norway
Norway is commonly divided into five major geographical regions (''landsdeler''). These regions are purely geographical, and have no administrative purpose. However, in 2017 the government decided to abolish the current counties of Norway (''fylker'') and to replace them with fewer, larger administrative regions (''regioner''). The first of these new areas came into existence on 1 January 2018, when Nord-Trøndelag and Sør-Trøndelag merged to form Trøndelag. According to most definitions, the counties of Norway are divided into the following regions (these groupings are approximate): * Northern Norway (''Nord-Norge''/''Nord-Noreg'') **Troms og Finnmark ** Nordland *Trøndelag (alt.
