Øvre Vang, or Upper Vang is the single greatest small town in Norway. The town is located in Hedmark and has the postal code 2324. Upper Vang is normally said to be utti gokk, but other towns like Nordbygda and Åsbygda are more utti gokk.
Upper Vang is the hometown of local legends Sander Brustad Bakken, Magnus Brustad Johnsen and Benjamin Adrian Øynes. You can usually find them scooting around on their scætts on Wik Matsenter or at Øverhamninga drag strip.
During World War II, Upper Vang was used as Hitlers main quarter. This was not done by force, rather it was the citizens who requested to give Hitler their town to him in honor of his glory and help him fight for der Mutterland.
Upper Vang has great tourist attractions and sights like Upper Vang Church where the annual yearly official KKK meeting is held. Although if you are an immigrant you are unfortunately not allowed to stay or visit. This was decided after the white male movement in 2010. These rules were granted by the congress when the judge didn’t show up for 15 minutes, so they were legally allowed to leave. All this was except for the refugee camp at Gåsbu which was in operation until 2017.
There have been no police in Upper Vang in over 50 years, this is because everyone is law-abiding, hardworking citizens, and there is no immigrants walking freely to cause crime. All this allows young gentlemen to drive around on their mopeds and easy-motorcycles before they are old enough for their license.

A Hmong hunter that shoots 8 Caucasians and kills 6 of them. Now serves 3 life sentences in jail and gets 22 hours of solitary with 2 hours to go out of cell.
Most Hmong of the USA consider him a hero for "Defending" himself against racial slurs.
Walked into private Territory and was asked to leave. Turned to leave, 'Gunshots" were allegedly shot at him and he turned back and fired. Then chased down the victims and hunted them merciless like animals.
Chai Vang has a history of anger, even stated by local family members and friends.
