Japan scores 55/100 toward Norway (neutrality or uncertainty), while Norway scores 55/100 back.
The coverage contains no direct interactions or statements between Japan and Norway; they are merely grouped together as the only remaining commercial whaling nations after Iceland's potential ban, indicating a lack of specific bilateral news to judge. This incidental association with a shared policy stance results in a neutral score.
Similarly, the articles do not report any diplomatic pressure, cooperation, or hostility directed by Norway toward Japan, nor vice versa, only noting their coincidental status as whaling outliers. The absence of specific bilateral engagement necessitates a neutral rating.
