The driving distance is 540 road miles using the E4 highway.

The flag of Sweden (Swedish: Sveriges flagga) is blue with a yellow Scandinavian cross that extends to the edges of the flag. The design and colours of the Swedish flag are believed to have been inspired by the present Coat of arms of Sweden of 1442, which is blue divided quarterly by a cross pattée of gold, and modelled on the Danish flag. Blue and yellow have been used as Swedish colours at least since king Magnus Birgersson's royal coat of arms of 1275.

The 1912 Summer Olympics were held in Stockholm, Sweden and the equestrian events of the 1956 Summer Games were also held in Stockholm.

People in Sweden are very polite, but like to party a lot, since they have a parliamentary democracy. It's true, they are quiet, open-minded, and social about their weird problems. If anyone might want to improvise this please do for I was copying off a fake website.

Sweden remained neutral, it did not participate in the war and was not attacked. Sometimes allied bombers which could not make it back to England would land in Sweden which, as a neutral power, was required under international law to imprison their crews until the end of the war. There is some controversy about Sweden's sales of iron and various goods to Germany - and also to Britain. Sweden allowed the Germans to use their railways which aided in the invasion and occupation of her sister country, Norway, which had also attempted to be neutral. I traveled extensively in Norway during the early 70s, and the WW2 generation never forgot that about Sweden. Put yourself in Hitler's or for that matter any in the German high command's shoes. What does Sweden offer in terms of strategic or tactical warfare? Nothing. In order to fight the British, the only useful country is Norway, which the Germans took. As far as the Soviet front was concerned , Hitler found an already willing ally with Finland. So why disrupt matters by sending German troops into a country which is militarily useless but economicaly important because of their iron production? The best way to handle the measure is by doing business with Sweden, not attacking them.

You can get an apartment from the age of 16, but you have to have a concent from your parents/guardian.

In Sweden you are considered to be an adult from the age of 18 when you are aloud to vote and drink alcohol in restaurants. But you´re not allowed to purchase alcohol at the government controlled "systembolaget"( a monopolly) until you´re 21.

Sweden come from the word swed (a veggie) in Sweden we call Sweden "Sverige" some say that the part sve commes from the girl-name Svea and rige from rike wich means kingdom althougth, Sweden is an old country so no one knows who named it Sverige but we know that when the Sweds(feels weird to say that) imigrated to America the Americans called Sverige Sweden (some say it was to make fun of the sweds that in that time understanded little English/American)

The simple rason: He got EVERYTHING he wanted from Sweden! He got his troops movement through the country, no questions asked. And so on. Sweden had alot of 'friendly toughts' about the Nazis during the war. Even as high up as within the royal family, not to mention all the industrialists, who saw Germany as a business partner!

Actually, it was, at one time, forbidden for Swedish newaspapers to publish anything negative about Nazi-Germany!

We are no longer using that coin. At this point it's worth 0 kronor.

They haven't yet. Sweden still uses its own currency, the Krona. It may join the euro at some point in the future.

Ellen and her family, like many other Danish Jews, went to Sweden by boat.

They"re all on the Euro to my knowledge,. All European countries except England and Ireland. ( both use Pounds of different values) so that:s ut,

Sweden is neither a friend nor an enemy to the United States. Sweden has little to no political relations with the US, and they have not and likely will not go to war within the next twenty years or more.

Because then Finland would have been occupied by the Soviet Union.
