Happy New Year, everyone!
As of today, January 1, 2020, there has been a major change in the counties of Norway. Someone had already put in short Wikipedia articles that detail the changes. These can all be accessed in the footer of the main Wikipedia article on the counties of Norway here:

switched over to all the new names at midnight which might make it interesting for researchers only vaguely acquainted with Norwegian geography as they look for counties that no longer exist on the map.
