Why does Norway have such a narrow land strip?

Why does Norway have a long strip of land that goes all the way around Sweden and touch Finland? Wouldn't this be easy for Sweden to invade? I thought Norway/Denmark/Finland/Sweden had a bunch of wars.

Sorry if you mods have to remove this, maybe I didn't read the rules carefully enough.

Minor correction there, Finland has not fought any wars with either Norway or Sweden.

There have been some raids back and forth during Viking era, but not actual wars.
