They wont have any allies in their wars that they fight.
Armed neutrality means not a friend or enemy. Example: he agreed to armed neutrality.
As Sweden is strictly neutral in case of war, most likely there will be a mobilisation in case of direct invasion, but other than that, nothing. If there IS an invasion, Sweden will fight to repel the invaders, but other than that, will stick to a strict policy of neutrality.
Sweden can be pretty self sufficient (as prooven during its neutrality and economic isolation during the world wars.) But in an global economy Sweden is pretty dependent on cheap labour and petroleum as there is no oil fields in the baltic sea big enough for cultivation.
It was not easier for Norway as that country was invaded and occupied despite its neutrality. Less than a year earlier Great Britain violated Norwegian neutrality when it boarded and captured the German ship Altmark in Norwegian waters. I should think that maintaining neutrality was more difficult for Switzerland than Sweden, as Switzerland was surrounded on all sides by the Axis for most of the war. As for Spain, it was ruled by a fascist government which did not throw in with the Axis, but the Allies were very careful not to antagonize the Spanish and push them in that direction.
Sort of, but maybe not. Since 1902, military service has been mandatory in Sweden, however there are many options to serve in an unarmed service, like the fire department, instead of serving in the armed forces.
No because Sweden was involved in many wars and has always disagreed with those who fought Sweden. Basically what i am saying is that Sweden doesn't disagree with armed neutrality.

it was armed and it was neutrality
Swedish neutrality refers to Sweden's policy of neutrality in armed conflicts, which has been in effect since the early 19th century. The policy originated largely as a result of Sweden's involvement in the Napoleonic Wars during which over a third of the country's territory was lost

Both Switzerland and Sweden have been neutral for centuries.
The countries that have maintained neutrality throughout many wars are Sweden, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Nepal, Bhutan and Brazil. There may be more,but I am not aware of them.
