How this list is defined
A place is on this list when the Norwegian krone is one of its official currencies in the source dataset, which follows ISO 4217. That includes dependencies and territories, not only sovereign states, which is why the count here (2) is higher than the number of countries you may expect.
It also includes places where the Norwegian krone is legal tender alongside other currencies rather than being the single national currency. Those are listed separately above instead of being silently mixed in or silently dropped, because both would misstate the answer.
