Status of the flag
Viken is a county in Eastern Norway that was established on 1 January 2020 by the forced merger of Akershus, Buskerud and Østfold with the addition of three other municipalities.
Valentin Poposki, 16 January 2020
However, the merger was opposed in all three counties which were to merge
both before and after the implementation - even the local government
has made the reversal its main goal.
As a result, it was decided by
the national parliament in 2022 that the merger be reversed. On
2024-01-01, Akershus, Buskerud and Østfold counties were
re-established and their original arms were readopted; since their
flags had actually been banners of arms, they were automatically
readopted as well.
