Would be funny if it wasn't complete bs. Except for the amazing time part. They're fun folk.

Based on their mystery novels and TV shows, everyone there is depressed and living in a stark, bleak landscape.

I'm thinking they want to discourage tourism.

They also whip each other with shrubbery in the sauna. (or so I've heard)

I'm from Finland (shares border with Norway) and yes, that's a thing. I mean who wouldn't love them some hot sweaty whipping anyhow?

Just remember to use birch and not spruce.

Sounds legit. Same in russian banyas.

I think Norway not too dissimilar to Saint Petesburg. So probably they want to discourage tourism indeed.
