Sweden (Swedish: Sverige German: Schweden Polish: Szwecja Latin: Suécia) lies in the northern and central parts of Europe, and is one of two countries originating from the Scandinavian Peninsula. The capital, Stockholm, is situated on the eastern coast of central Sweden and is a part of the region Svealand. Sweden borders Norway, Denmark, United Kingdom, Finland and Germany. The main language in Sweden is Swedish, but most citizens of Sweden are very good at English and have no problems communicating with other citizens of Erepublik. In fact, more and more newspapers have decided to switch to English to increase their group of readers.

Culture
- Main article: Culture of Sweden
The culture of Sweden is very great in some random areas. Even if the nation does not have any national anthem or motto it's still a very cultural nation. Most the "art" is PR-pictures for propaganda but as the Swedes recognize many articles as art.
Also, their is the work of Swedish citizens have done like Josef Starks banner for day 250. Also at the Swedish forum you can see a huge quantity of art, quotes and pictures of persons, houses and locks.
Graveyard
- Main article: Swedens Graveyard
As Sweden is an old nation, that of which had a population around 3300 in May. It's natural that some citizens have died, and due to this now exists a small but still existing graveyard.
Economy
Sweden has the 25th largest population in eRepublik with almost 3000 citizens, although almost 47% is unemployed. The Congress has taken steps to relieve the situation, but during the last months Sweden's population has decreased rapidly from its peak of 3600 citizens. The decrease in citizens has lead to difficulties in finding workers for company owners, something which has lead to a decreased unemployment rate.

Only a few days before Christmas, Sweden got a third party which would take the country by surprise. On December 20 the Flashback Sweden party was formed and although they had a rocky start with a party leader that was not interested in his position, the party finally voted in Carradine which in January took place as Sweden's second president in an unprecedented share of the peoples votes.

The Öresund War broke out April 21, 2008 when Swedish tanks rolled into Køpenhavn, and ended April 23, 2008. The war was spurred on by the Danish President Grev Per who insulted the Swedish people by calling the homoswedes, which they thought was a kind of ape. Critics in Sweden took this act as a way to provoke a full scale assault on Danish soil, to make the International Brigades arm themselves and send aid to the Denmark. Though, this plan failed and the Swedish army marched into Vejle only one day after the attack at the capital. On the third day of the war, the Danish forces surrendered and Sweden declared an annexation of Denmark.
