QUESTION 37-The national flag of this cold, northern country is attractively simple with a red background and an indigo blue Scandinavian cross rimmed in white. Can you name this nation that was home to such brooding creatives as violinist Ole Bull, writer Bjornstjerne Bjornson, explorer Leif Erikson, and playwright Henrik Ibsen?
Correct Incorrect Norway: While the specific details of Norway's earliest flags are uncertain due to the absence of official records from that era, it is widely acknowledged that national flags did not exist centuries ago.
