most of the proceeds of the oil industry go into a Sovereign Fund that protects the nation's wealth. They are only allowed to use a modest amount of that fund's dividends each year, leaving the principle to sit and grow every year. It's quite brilliant really - there's always enough funding for infrastructure and a great social safety net, but the majority of that wealth is untapped, ensuring it is there for the good of all Norwegians for perpetuity. They set it up that way because when they discoverd oil in their territory, they knew it wasn't a huge amount compared to other areas, and that it would one day run out. Having been pretty poor after WW2, they were careful about managing that new found wealth.

Nice Video, but Hamburg in Germany has about 2500 bridges - which is more than Amsterdam, Venice and probably Pittsburgh combined.

Wellington NZ is the third largest city in NZ ... although the capital it is behind Auckland with 1.4 m, and Christchurch with 380k then Wellington 220k ...

Hmmm, just made a local search: Stockholm has around 2000 bridges according to a local newspaper article that is not about any record at all but about the repair situation. It could be a matter of how you define a city, but the same article claims that over 800 of them fall under the jurisdiction of the city of Stockholm. It makes sense that there should be a lot in Stockholm as the city is built on a multitude of islands.

I almost had a Mandela effect moment when you talked about the stadiums. Just yesterday, I watched a youtube video that stated that the stadium in Pyongyang was the biggest stadium in the world. I got very confused until I read that the stadium in India was built in 2020 while the video I watched was from before the stadium was built. I thought for sure that I was having a moment and was very concerned when I watched the video again.

The real size of cities is very hard to establish as political boundaries have nothing to do with reality. National boundaries and rivers divide metropolitan areas, thus giving rise to different names for the parts.
