Sweden is aย Scandinavianย Nordic countryย inย Northern Europe. It bordersย Norwayย to the west and north andย Finlandย to the east, and is connected toย Denmarkย in the southwest byย a bridge-tunnelacross theย ร–resund, a strait at the Swedish-Danish border. At 450,295 square kilometres, Sweden is the largest country in Northern Europe, the third-largest country in theย European Unionย and theย fifth largestย country inย Europe by area. Sweden has a total population of 10.2 million of which 2.5 million have a foreign background. It has a low population density of 22 inhabitants per square kilometre. The highest concentration is in the southern half of the country.

Germanic peoplesย have inhabited Sweden sinceย prehistoric times, emerging into history as theย Geatsย (Swedish Gรถtar) andย Swedesย (Svear) and constituting the sea peoples known as theย Norsemen.ย Southern Swedenย is predominantlyย agricultural, whileย the northย is heavily forested. Sweden is part of the geographical area ofย Fennoscandia. Theย climateย is in general very mild for its northerly latitude due to significant maritime influence, so that in spite of its latitude it still retains warm continental summers. Today, theย sovereign stateย of Sweden is aย constitutional monarchyย andย parliamentaryย democracy, with aย monarchย asย head of state, like its neighbourย Norway. Theย capital cityย isย Stockholm, which is also the most populous city in the country.ย Legislative powerย is vested in the 349-memberย unicameralRiksdag.ย Executive powerย is exercised by theย governmentย chaired by theย prime minister. Sweden is aย unitary state, currently divided intoย 21 countiesย andย 290 municipalities.

An independent Swedish state emerged during the early 12th century. After theย Black Death in the middle of the 14th century killed about a third of the Scandinavian population,ย theย Hanseatic League threatened Scandinavia’s culture, finances and languages.ย This led to the forming of the Scandinavianย Kalmar Union in 1397,ย which Sweden left in 1523. When Sweden became involved in theย Thirty Years Warย on the Reformist side, an expansion of its territories began and eventually theย Swedish Empireย was formed. This became one of theย great powersย of Europe until the early 18th century. Swedish territories outside theย Scandinavian Peninsulaย were gradually lost during the 18th and 19th centuries, ending with the annexation of present-day Finland byย Russiaย in 1809. The last war in which Sweden was directly involved was in 1814, when Norway was militarily forced intoย personal union. Since then, Sweden has been at peace, maintaining an official policy ofย neutrality in foreign affairs.ย The union with Norway wasย peacefully dissolvedย in 1905. Sweden was formallyย neutralย through both world wars and theย Cold War, albeit Sweden has since 2009 openly moved towards cooperation withย NATO.

After the end of theย Cold War, Sweden joined the European Union (EU) on 1 January 1995, but declinedย NATOย membership, as well asย Eurozoneย (EZ) membership following aย referendum. It is also a member of theย United Nations, theย Nordic Council, theย Council of Europe, theย World Trade Organizationย and theย Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Developmentย (OECD). Sweden maintains aย Nordic social welfare systemย that providesย universal health careย andย tertiary educationย for its citizens. It has theย world’s eleventh-highest per capita incomeย and ranks highly in numerous metrics of national performance, includingย quality of life, health,ย education, protection ofย civil liberties, economic competitiveness,ย equality,ย prosperityย andย human development.
