The 15 counties of Norway
Norway has 15 counties. This page lists all of them.
The table shows the English name first. The Norwegian name is accepted as an answer too, and it appears in the second column.
English names and local names
The quiz shows English names, because that is what most players type. It accepts the Norwegian name as well.
Accent marks do not matter. The quiz folds accents before it compares, so a name typed without them still counts.
Abbreviations are not accepted. A short code is ambiguous, and one code often matches the start of another name.
About the counties
A county (fylke) is the largest unit of local government in Norway. The main tasks are upper secondary schools, county roads and public transport.
The map dates from 1 January 2024, when three merged counties split again. Norway had 11 counties from 2020 to 2023, and 19 counties before that.
Svalbard and Jan Mayen are not counties. The state governs them directly.
