danish foreign policy isn't much better. if they asked for 30 trillion dollars from denmark and made a sovereign wealth fund and maybe invested heavily in blue chip or maybe real estate and maybe got 3% of the value back in dividends and income. then they could nearly fund half their state budget on it.   downpayment plan perhaps, they could have gotten it.   lots of places have more oil than norway. most places with oil do. venezuela has the most, then saudi arabia, norway have nothing compared to those and it is much cheaper for them to pump it out they don't need to create expensive offshore oil rigs. they just need to dig a little with a shovel. most countries with oil has more oil than norway. nigeria has 620% more oil than norway. norway has about the same amount of oil as sudan. (which used to have a lot more oil than norway. but most their oil is in what is now south sudan)
