About country
Sweden is a Nordic country situated on the Scandinavian Peninsula in Northern Europe. Its history stretches back to prehistoric times, with the emergence of the Geats and Swedes as seafaring Norsemen. The unified Swedish state was established in the late 10th century, and it later participated in the Kalmar Union with Denmark and Norway. Today, Sweden is a modern, industrialized nation with a strong social welfare system and a prominent role in international affairs. Its diverse geography ranges from mountainous regions in the north to fertile plains in the south.
