Norway already has the BankAxept system in wide use. It is mainly used with debit cards though, as far as I know, not credit cards. The fees for using BankAxept are lower than Visa/Mastercard for the merchants, and most debit cards from Norwegian banks have a combination of Visa/Mastercard and BankAxept functionality included. Most merchant terminals are set up to prefer the latter tech, falling back to Visa/MC if the card isn’t BankAxept equipped.

So some of the tech is already there.

Secondly, I might be wrong but I don’t think the Norwegian government gives the Nobel prizes, an organization based in Norway does

Correct. The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded by The Norwegian Nobel Commitee, not the government. The committee consists of members appointed by the Norwegian Parliament – again, not the goverment. The commitee thus a private body, and the government has absolutely no say in their selection of the recipient.
