Norway! (I'm from Norway)

I don't think the Norwegian model of governance can be directly be transferred to India, or vice versa. India is simply too big for a country like Norway. The smallest villages in Norway is below 50 people, while India has a much larger population.

Still, India and Norway probably can learn something from each other. I don't know how much IT is used by the government institutions of India, but I can see that India can use her IT knowledge to save money on government expenditure (if they aren't doing so already).

To be honest, I think the Norwegian model is too ineffecient. Some police cases take years to solve because of the bureaucracy. There are also many business obstacles. Too many rules. Norway is really much more communist than China. If it weren't for the oil, we would definitely be much worse off.

(By the way, Ms Naversete is under corruption scrutiny for receiving a golden wrist band after naming a boat)

don't post if you don't have any info, in India there is a village which have only 1 person as resident and at elections time 8 election officials setup election voting booth for that single person so that he can cast his vote to elect govt. of his choice.

And its done in all the elections villge, assembly and parliament.
