Norway: motto

 * Alt for Norge / Alt for Noreg eller
 * Enighet og tro til Dovre faller / Enig og tro til Dovre faller --  Jens Fabricius' original version at Eidsvoll in 1814 is said to be «Enige og troe, indtil Dovre falder!».

There were long discussions here a good while back about Dovre. As: How can a mountain fall? Some said that it meant "until Dovre falls into the hands of the Swedes", others did not agree. The solution was to use the royal motto "Alt for Norge/Noreg", and there's been no discussion since. Maybe the discussion will start up again, maybe not. Just thought I'd let you know.

Assuming that you can read Norwegian, Haakon, this is interesting: http://www.aftenposten.no/meninger/kronikker/Nasjonalfjellet-Dovre---myte-og-symbol-6358144.html
