Svalbard is part of Norway: Svalbard is completely controlled and part of the Kingdom of Norway. However, Norway’s power over Svalbard is restricted to limitations listed below Taxation: This allows taxes to be collected, but only enough to support Svalbard and the Svalbard government. This results in lower taxes than mainland Norway and the exclusion of any taxes on Svalbard supporting Norway directly. Also, Svalbard’s

revenues and expenses are separately budgeted from mainland Norway.

Environmental conservation: Norway must respect and preserve the Svalbard environment Non-discrimination: All citizens and all companies of every nation under the treaty are allowed to become residents and to have access to Svalbard including the right to fish, hunt or undertake any kind of maritime, industrial, mining or trade activity. The residents of Svalbard must follow Norwegian law though Norwegian authority cannot discriminate or favor any residents of a certain nationality.

Military restrictions: Article 9 prohibits naval bases and fortifications and also the use of Svalbard for war-like purposes. It is not, however, entirely demilitarized.

96% of the coal sales from Svea, totalled 1,645,509 tonnes in 2010.

Barentsburg started as a Dutch mining town in the 1920s. In 1932 the Dutch sold their concession to the Soviet Union. Since 1932 the Russian state owned Arktikugol Trust has been operating on Svalbard. It is the second largest settlement on Svalbard, with about 500 inhabitants (2007), almost entirely Russians and Ukrainians. Coal is still mined in Barentsburg but Its outward image is depressingly run-down in comparison to its lively and prosperous neighbour Longyearbyen, and its population continues to decline.

The ghost town -- Pyramiden 22%

Pyramiden was founded by Sweden in 1910 and sold to the Soviet Union in 1927. Rapid development during the 1960s and 1970s had transformed it into a modern town hosting 1100 inhabitants and equipped with most urban facilities. But in 1998 when the Russian arctic mining company decided to end its activity there, it became a remarkably abrupt abandonment left behind a site devoid of humans but still filled with all stuff constituting a modern city.
