The mood I am in at the moment, I will arrange for you to go somewhere and get shot if you call me Uncle Pete.
As for relative importance of places: here is an interesting fact about "Snorway" - in the late eighties and early nineties, Norway had some of the highest bandwidth availability in Europe. Universities and other establishments had multi-megabit broadband when other places in Europe were still using 2400 baud modems for entire businesses. In internet terms, Norway is still one of the best connected countries on the planet, with a technical infrastructure that is substantially better than most other countries in its economic weight class.
I have provided this fact for you as an important learning exercise. What I would like you to do is go away and find out why the fuck *I* would know or care about that kind of crap, and by extension, why you should too.
