Is there the richest country in the world?

The answer is yes, and everyone will say that the United States, which has a relatively developed economy, is indeed very powerful in terms of overall strength.

But the United States is not the richest country.

In terms of GDP per capita, Norway is recognized as the richest country in the world. This is related to Norway's oil fund of one trillion US dollars. According to this item, residents can receive a pension of 1.3 million yuan per capita.

It is really remarkable that Norwegian citizens can still receive millions of dollars after retirement. Therefore, everyone is very interested in their housing. They want to know what requirements such wealthy Norwegians have for housing?

Norway is different from other countries. Even if they get rich, they will not buy villas or high-rise buildings for themselves, but prefer to live in turf houses.

The reason why Norwegians like to live in turf houses is that turf houses can protect them from serious snow disasters in winter. It is precisely because of the emergence of turf houses that Nordic people can avoid disasters.

Their turf houses are very particular about the materials they use. Birch bark is usually used as the roof. No matter how long it is used, there is no need to worry about the roof rotting in the open air.

When building a house, you first need to lay down the bark, and then lay thick sandy soil on the bark. After the completion, you need to plant some green plants on the roof.

The interior decoration of the house is also very exquisite. Most of the houses are only 10-40 square meters. Although the house is small, it has all the internal organs.

Especially for Norwegian retirees, after they retire, they will go to the countryside to build their own sod house and spend their later years here. This is a symbol of the wealth they have earned through a lifetime of hard work.

Most Norwegians like to live in turf houses. Nearly a hundred large-scale turf house villages can be seen in Norway. About 70% of the residents live in these turf houses, and only a small part of the houses are

Vacant.

It turns out that a turf house in winter can bear a load of 500 kilograms per square meter. Even if there is thick snow on the roof in winter, there is no need to worry that the snow will collapse the house. The walls will become stronger and more durable.

Due to the protection of the turf, the roof can also provide wind protection and warmth for residents.

It turns out that when the Icelandic volcano erupted in the past, it had a great impact on the climate in Norway, causing the local temperature to drop rapidly. It snowed heavily for several days in a row, and many people were buried in the snow in their sleep.

But fortunately, those who lived in sod houses were unscathed. Many sod houses that have been used for hundreds of years are still strong in the snow to protect the safety of residents. Only sod houses were not crushed by the heavy snow.

After the disaster passed, for the safety of residents, the local government strongly called on residents to build turf houses. Therefore, Norwegians gradually developed the habit of living in turf houses.

The residents here live a really happy life, and the turf houses they live in are also special and unique.
