Church Of Norway
The Church of Norway ( nb, Den norske kirke, nn, Den norske kyrkja, se, Norgga girku, sma, Nöörjen gærhkoe) is an evangelical Lutheran denomination of Protestant Christianity and by far the largest Christian church in Norway. The church became the state church of Norway around 1020, and was established as a separate church intimately integrated with the state as a result of the Lutheran reformation in Denmark–Norway which broke ties with the Holy See in 1536–1537; the King of Norway was the church's head from 1537 to 2012. Historically the church was one of the main instruments of royal power and official authority, and an important part of the state administration; local government was based on the church's parishes with significant official responsibility held by the parish priest. In the 19th and 20th centuries it gradually ceded most administrative functions to the secular civil service. The modern Constitution of Norway describes the church as the country's "peo ...

Storsjøen (Odal)
Storsjøen is a lake in the Odalen valley in Innlandet county, Norway. The lake straddles the municipal boundary between Sør-Odal Municipality and Nord-Odal Municipality. The lake lies just south of the village of Sand (in Nord-Odal) and just north of the village of Skarnes (in Sør-Odal). The lake flows out into the Oppstadåa river which flows about to the south into the large Glomma river. When the river Glomma reaches high water levels, the river begins to flow into the lake Storsjøen. This phenomenon has given rise to the very special delta area at the southern end of the lake. This delta area has been protected as the Seimsjøen nature reserve. The sea is rich in fish and an important stopover for waders and swimming birds. The lake is a popular tourist destination for many tourists. See also *List of lakes in Norway This is a list of lakes and reservoirs in Norway, sorted by county.

Glomma
The Glomma, or Glåma, is Norway's longest and most voluminous river. With a total length of , it has a drainage basin that covers fully 13% of Norway's surface area, all in the southern part of the country.

Major tributaries include the Vorma River, which drains Lake Mjøsa, joining the Glomma River at Årnes in Nes. The Lågen drains into Lake Mjøsa, collecting drainage from the large Gudbrandsdalen and significantly increasing the Glomma's flow.

The combination of raw materials, water power, and easy transport has over the centuries encouraged industry along the Glomma. Some of the country's largest manufacturing and processing concerns are found around its mouth, where supplies of timber and hydropower have been ...
