Its capital city is Stockholm.
At 449,964 km² (173,720 square miles), Sweden is the third largest country by area in Western Europe and fifth in all of Europe. Sweden has a low population density of 20 people per square kilometre, except in its metropolitan areas; 84% of the population lives in urban areas, which comprise only 1.3% of the country's total land area. The inhabitants of Sweden enjoy a high standard of living, and the country is generally perceived as modern and liberal, with an organizational and corporate culture that is non-hierarchical and collectivist compared to its Anglo-Saxon counterparts. Nature conservation, environmental protection and energy efficiency are generally prioritized in policy making and embraced by the general public in Sweden. Sweden has a long been a major exporter of iron, copper and timber. Improved transportation and communication has allowed for the large scale utilization of remote natural assets, most notably timber and iron ore. In the 1890s, universal schooling and industrialization enabled the country to develop a successful manufacturing industry and by the twentieth century, Sweden emerged as a welfare state, consistently achieving high positions among the top-ranking countries in the UN Human Development Index (HDI). Sweden has a rich supply of water power, but lacks significant oil and coal deposits. (...) more....

The harsh climate and the long time high importance of agriculture and fishing have a lasting influence Sweden's food culture. The traditional dishes are simple, the richness of variety is limited. Because the traditional Swedish ingredients such as potatoes, fish, meat and mushrooms are of high quality, there are in Sweden still plenty good tasting dishes. Also, all dairy products are quite excellent. Some Swedish chefs are not the best in their profession. In recent years they have repeatedly demonstrated just one of the top places in the international cooking world championships. The success is reflected primarily in the Stockholm restaurant scene. When asked what her favorite food is the standard response of many Swedes husmanskost. These traditional dishes vary from region to region. Often this includes herring, and the one or other type of bullar, meatballs Köttbullar fish (fiskbullar) or meat (). Especially the many varieties sill - Herring, who was dressed in a completely different kind - shows that may also arise from a few ingredients, creative cuisine. In general, fish in Sweden is much more common than in continental Europe on the menu. The most popular is in addition to herring continue pout. The stocks in the Baltic Sea are unfortunately threatened because of overfishing. Exceptionally often reindeer or elk, are to be hunted in the wild, on the menu.

In the winter and autumn months, it is very wet in Sweden, and the shoes are often dirty. Therefore, it is customary not to enter homes with shoes. You should first ask whether the shoes should be removed. Tourists dismantle the warning signs before the road crossed, elk, make himself not only criminal, but also extremely unpopular. The Elchschilder may have been an exceptional gift, but the reputation of the tourists among the locals as this does not rise straight. Sweden appreciate it if everything runs like clockwork. At the Post, the state liquor store and at the cheese counter will only be served, who stretched before, a nummerlapp. Mock self about the system, is an affront. Nor should you make fun of that, the Swedes are the principle of "right, left" to go on the escalator and then take to heart when it is full of crazy and everything would go faster, would occupy the entire staircase. Although by no means are all Sweden behind the strict alcohol policy of their country, but they do not like it when visitors make fun about it. This is understood as a fundamental criticism of the Swedish system, and thus the whole country. Beer with an alcohol content of more than 3.5 percent as well as wine and spirits can only be sold in the shops of State Systembolaget chain. These require exorbitant prices, and also have only limited opening times. Thus, the alcoholism is prevented and simultaneously filling the state treasury. In fact, the Swedes drink in the EU compared with previous years. The Swedish restaurateurs have the culture of free refills from the U.S. accepted (patar). Who pays for a coffee, can often refill as many times his cup. Unfortunately, the quality of Swedish coffee leaves much to be desired. He usually is cooked in large quantities and then stands for hours on the hot plate. So better to order fresh espresso or latte as good, but stale coffee.
