You are disingenuous. Norwegians can be more reserved in smaller areas, and they would be more xenophobic on average, but that's generally the same reception you would get in small cities in every western country. In fact, it's far less than in other places.
How is it institutionally worse than other countries when on record it is the country with the highest social mobility and egalitarianism, least difference between people in the top of the socioeconomic ladder and the people at the bottom. I guess that meme went over your head while being a victim in Norway.
There are relatively low crime rates in Norway.
This place is not perfect at all, but there's an abundance of privilege, so the pros outweigh the cons considerably.
