The most interesting part of that chart in my opinion is that they seem to have 16 persons in prison for unknown reasons. I'm assuming there are some sort of national security involved or perhaps crimes of such a weird nature they have no definition for it. In that case though, what the hell did the last 10 persons do? :D

Those low numbers are likely because the wages in Norway are actually decent living wages.

Go figure, when people are well paid and living decent lives they are less prone to commit crimes.

I also find it funny that one of the "downsides" is that CEO's and other higher corporate positions can't earn as much as other places. There's and interesting correlation in there I think.
