Norwegian Sjølberging (Juche) Republic

I am curious how this would affect perceptions of Norwegian-Americans - I think Prairie Home Companion would have a different feel to it if the image of Norway is less "horned helmet Vikings and lutefisk" and more "fanatics marching to black metal and living off lutefisk and seaweed because their agriculture is a mess".
 
Before Soviet Force's withdraw, the left some warheads and short range missiles intentionally. In 1992, PRN use one of them as a show of force, gave the time to develop their own nuclear industry and missile industry (But the IRBMs were truly built with ex-Soviet/Russian smuggled technologies).
And then, embargoes from US and EU came, this country was under heavy economical crisis for a decade, until the rise of China brought market of its oil and investment of its infrastructure and industry. And the equipment of NPA were rapidly replaced with modern weapons.
The same problem exists, in that the Soviets aren't going to be giving nuclear weapons to one of their client states, and as long as those Norwegian ballistic missiles aren't equipped with atomic bombs, the amount of destruction they can do is strictly limited.

Jesus fucking Christ, that would GUARANTEE intervention, if they actually used a nuke! They’re not outshooting the UK or France, much less the USA.

Of courses, that wouldn’t happen, cause the soviets aren’t that dumb. No one wants a WP puppet starting WW3.

Okay, since they had no nukes, what shall they do to save their regime? "All shattered-jewels and kamikaze attackers?"
 
One huge problem. Norway has a giant coast, a large merchant marine, and a lot of fishermen. What's to stop these people from defecting? Other than the obligatory gulags for their family and friends I guess, and using them to smuggle spies like North Korea does. But killing the Norwegian fishing industry would be a great way for the "Cod Revolution" around 1990, which let's be honest, is by far the most likely end for communist Norway.

They'd never get nukes on their own, but by pooling their efforts with Romania and North Korea they might get somewhere.

Be forced up against the wall after a short show trial like all the other communist regimes in Europe when fate came calling?

If this happened, I can certain one thing: The nation would be the most far-right and anti-Socialism one in the Scandinavia.
 
What countries are potential "North Koreas", in terms of having the agricultural sea-sufficiency and industrial base for military production to essentially close themselves off from the rest of the world?
