[[Biliþ:Gustav Vasa.jpg|thumb|left|[[Gustav I Swēo Cyning]]]]

Conclusive archaeological evidence exists that the area now comprising Sweden was settled during the [[Stone Age]], as the inland ice of the last [[ice age]] receded. The earliest inhabitants are thought to have been [[hunter-gatherer|hunters and gatherers]], living primarily off what the sea (later called the [[Baltic Sea]]) could offer.

Some evidence supports the theory that southern Sweden was densely populated during the [[Bronze Age]], as remains of large trading communities from this period have been found. 

[[Sweden (etymology)|Sweden as a name]] was originally a plural form of [[Swedes|Swede]] and is a so-called "back-formation", from [[Old English]] ''[[Swēoþēod]]'' ([[Suiones]]).

During the [[9th century| 9th]] and [[10th century]], the [[Wicing]] culture flourished on Swēom, with trade, raiding and colonisation primarily going eastward, to the [[Ostsǣs rīcum|Ostsǣs rīce]], [[Russland]]e and [[Euxine|Euxinus]].

In [[1389]], the three countries of [[Norþweg]], [[Denemearc]] and Swēoland geānlǣhte sē Dena cyning under his cynedōme. The [[Kalmar Union]] was entered into as a personal, not a political union, and during the [[15th century]], Swēoland resisted attempts to centralise rule under the Danish king, even to the point of armed rebellion. Sweden subsequently broke away in [[1521]], when Gustav Eriksson Vasa, known as king [[Gustav I of Sweden]] from [[1523]], re-established separation of the Swedish [[The Crown|Crown]] from the union.

The [[17th century]] saw [[Rise_of_Sweden_as_a_Great_Power|the rise of Sweden]] as one of the [[great power]]s in Europe, due to successful participation, initiated by King [[Gustavus Adolphus]], in the [[Thirty Years' War]]. This position would crumble in the [[18th century]] when [[Russia]] took the reins of northern Europe in the [[Great Northern War]], and eventually in [[1809]], splitting off the eastern half of Sweden, thereby creating [[Finland]] as a Russian [[Grand Duchy]].

Recent Swedish history has been peaceful, the last war being the [[Campaign against Norway]] [[1814]] establishing a Sweden-dominated personal union with Norway. The union was peacefully dissolved in [[1905]], despite some sabre-rattling. Swēoland remained a [[neutral country]] during [[World War I]] and [[World War II]] (with a small exception for the [[Winter War]]). It continued to stay non-aligned during the [[Cold War]] and is today not a member of any military alliance but has participated in [[NATO]] military training.

The first ceremony to award the [[Nobel Prize]] was held at the Old [[Royal Swedish Academy of Music|Royal Academy of Music]] in [[Stockholm]] in [[1901]]; beginning in [[1902]], the prizes have been formally awarded by the [[King of Sweden]].

== Politics ==
''Main articles: [[Politics of Sweden]]''

Swēoland has been a [[monarchy]] for almost a [[millennium]] with [[Loss of supply|supply]] controlled by the parliament (the taxed peasantry constituting one of [[Riksdag of the Estates|four chambers]]). In [[1866]] Swéoland wearþ [[bicameral]], with ''Första Kammaren'' (the First Chamber) indirectly elected by local councillors, and ''Andra Kammaren'' (the Second Chamber) directly elected. Executive power was shared between the King and a noble [[Privy Council]] until [[1680]], followed by the King's [[autocracy|autocratic rule]] initiated by the common estates of the Parliament. As a reaction to the failed [[Great Northern War]], [[Parliamentary system|Parliamentarism]] was introduced in [[1719]], followed by three different flavours of [[Constitutional Monarchy]] in [[1772]], [[1789]] and [[1809]], [[Swedish constitution of 1809|the latter]] granting several civil liberties.

Parliamentarism was re-introduced in [[1917]] as [[Gustav V of Sweden|King Gustaf V]], after  decades of struggle, accepted the right of the party with the most support in parliament to form the [[Cabinet]]s. This reform was followed by [[Suffrage|common  and equal suffrage]] enacted 1918-21. Parliamentarism was upheld by his successor [[Gustav VI Adolf of Sweden|Gustav VI Adolf]] until a new [[Constitution of Sweden|constitution]] in [[1975]] abolished the monarch's political power. The monarch remains as the formal, but merely a symbolic, [[head of state]] with mainly [[ceremony | ceremonial]] duties.

[[Social Democrat|Social Democracy]] has played a dominant political role since 1917, after [[Reformist]]s had confirmed their strength and the [[Revolution|Revolutionaries]] left the party. Social Democratic influence over society and government is often described as [[Hegemony]]. After [[1932]] the Cabinets have been led and dominated by the Social Democrats except for: a few summer months [[1936]]; six years [[1976]]-[[1982]]; and three years [[1991]]-[[1994]].

In [[1971]], the [[Parliament of Sweden|Parliament]] or ''Riksdag'' became [[unicameral]]. Constitutionally, the 349-member ''Riksdag'' holds supreme authority in Sweden. It may alter the constitution and its acts are not subject to [[judicial review]]. Legislation may be initiated by the [[Cabinet]] or by members of Parliament. Members are elected on the basis of [[proportional representation]] for a four-year term. 

''Grundlagen'' (the constitution) can be altered by the ''Riksdag'', which requires a [[supermajority]] and confirmation after the following general elections.

The judicial system is divided between courts with regular civil and criminal jurisdiction and special courts with responsibility for litigation between the public and Government or Municipal authorities. Swedish law is codified and its court system consists of local courts, regional appellate courts, and a Supreme Court.

== Economy ==
''Main article: [[Economy of Sweden]]''

[[Image:1 Krona 2001.jpg|thumb|The Swedish Krona]]

Aided by [[peace]] and [[neutral country|neutrality]] for the whole of the [[20th century]], Swéoland has achieved an enviable standard of living under a mixed system of high-tech [[capitalism]] and extensive welfare benefits. It has a modern distribution system, excellent internal and external communications, and a skilled labour force. [[Timber]], [[hydropower]], and [[iron]] [[ore]] constitute the resource base of an [[economics|economy]] heavily oriented toward foreign [[trade]].

Privately-owned firms account for about 90% of industrial output, of which the engineering sector accounts for 50% of output and exports. [[Agriculture]] accounts for only 2% of [[Gross Domestic Product|GDP]] and 2% of the jobs. The [[Government of Sweden|government's]] commitment to fiscal discipline resulted in a substantial budgetary surplus in [[2001]], which was cut by more than half in [[2002]], due to the global economic slowdown, revenue declines, and spending increases. The Swedish [[Sveriges Riksbank|Riksbank]] is focusing on price stability with its inflation target of 2%. Growth is expected to reach 3.5% in 2004, assuming a continued moderate global recovery.

The [[Communications in Sweden|Communications]] and [[Transportation in Sweden|Transportation]] systems of Swéoland are important components of the infrastructure.

== Demographics ==
''Main article: [[Demographics of Sweden]]''

Swéoland has one of the world's highest [[life expectancies]] and one of the lowest [[birth rate]]s. The country counts at least 17,000 [[Indigenous people|indigenous]] [[Sami]]s among its population. Also some 50,000 of the [[ethnic Finns]] of Sweden consist an indigenous minority, although many more of the [[Sweden Finns]] descend from 20th century immigrants.

The Swedish nation has been transformed from a nation of [[emigration]] ending after [[World War I]] to a nation of [[immigration]] from [[World War II]] and on. Almost 12% of the residents are born abroad, and about one fifth of Sweden's population are either immigrants or children of immigrants. The largest immigrant groups are from [[Finland]], the [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia|former Yugoslavia]], [[Iran]], [[Norway]], [[Denmark]], and [[Poland]]. This reflects the inter-Nordic migrations, earlier periods of labor immigration, and later decades of refugee and family immigration. 

The Finns were the first large group of immigrants to contemporary Sweden. During World War II some 70,000 [[Finnish war children|war children]] were evacuated from Finland. 15,000 of them stayed after the war, and many more returned as adults. Post-war hardship in Finland pushed large contingents of unemployed Finns to Sweden's booming economy in the [[1950s]]&ndash;[[1960s|60s]]. At its height, over 400,000 Finns lived in Sweden, but following the [[1973 energy crisis]] the unemployment rate in Sweden worsened while steady Soviet trade was to Finland's advantage. Since then, the number of immigrated [[Sweden-Finn]]s has decreased to below 200,000.

[[image:Smal house.jpg|thumb|right|A typical 19th, early 20th century farmer's house]]

Soviet intervention against the [[1956 Hungarian Revolution]] and the [[ Prague Spring|1968 Czechoslovakian liberalization]] resulted in the first surges of intellectual [[political refugee]]s. [[United States|American]] deserters from the [[Vietnam War]] often found refuge among the Swedes, who in international politics took a clear stand against [[imperialism]] both by the Soviet Union and the US. After the [[1973 coup in Chile]], and the following military dictatures in [[Chile]] and other [[South America]]n countries, political refugees came to dominate the image of immigration to Sweden, including refugees from [[Iran]], [[Iraq]] and [[Palestine]]. Of the refugees from the [[Yugoslav wars]], 135,000 remain in Sweden (2001).

Swedish is a [[Germanic language]] related to Danish and Norwegian but different in pronunciation and orthography. English is by far the leading foreign language, particularly among students and those under age 50. The [[Swedish language]] has held a ''de facto'' dominant position to such a degree that making it an [[official language]] never has been a political issue. However, the recognition of five minority languages, on [[April 1]], [[2000]], has raised the issue of whether Swedish should have a standing as the official language in Sweden. [[Sami language|Sami]], [[Meänkieli language|Meänkieli]] and [[Finnish language|Finnish]] may be used in dealing with [[Municipalities of Sweden|municipal]] and [[Government Agencies in Sweden|government agencies]], [[court]]s, [[preschool]]s and [[nursing home]]s in parts of [[Norrbotten County]].

Swéoland has an extensive [[child-care|childcare]] system that guarantees a place for all young children from 2-5 years old in a public day-care facility. From ages 6-16, children attend compulsory comprehensive school. After completing the ninth grade, 90% attend upper secondary school for either academic or technical education.

Swedes benefit from an extensive [[social welfare]] system, which provides for childcare and maternity and paternity leave, a ceiling on health care costs, old-age pensions, and sick leave among other benefits. Parents are entitled to a total of 480 days paid leave between birth and the child's eighth birthday, with 30 days reserved specifically for each parent. A ceiling on health care costs makes it easier for Swedish workers to take time off for medical reasons.

As of approximately [[August 12]], [[as of 2004|2004]], the population of Sweden for the first time exceeded 9,000,000, according to [[Statistics Sweden]].

== Culture ==
''Main article: [[Culture of Sweden]]''

Swedish 20th century culture is noted by pioneering works in the early days of cinema, with [[Mauritz Stiller]] and [[Victor Sjöström]]. Later on, moguls like [[Ingmar Bergman]] and actresses such as [[Greta Garbo]], [[Zarah Leander]], [[Ingrid Bergman]] and [[Anita Ekberg]] made careers abroad.

Swedish music is in many minds connected with [[ABBA]], although more recently indie bands like [[Millencolin]], [[Soundtrack Of Our Lives]] and [[The Hives]] have started achieving international fame. Also worthy of mention are [[bob hund]], [[Roxette]], [[Ace of Base]], [[The Cardigans]], and [[Yngwie J. Malmsteen]] 

In underground circles, Sweden is known for a large number of [[death metal]] and [[black metal]] acts, often viewed as pioneering or at the forefront of the scene.

Swedish literature is also vibrant and active, Sweden ranking third in the list of countries with most [[Nobel Prize]] laureates in [[Nobel Prize in Literature|literature]].

== Symbeldagas ==
''Main article: [[Holidays in Sweden]]''

The Swedish holiday calendar consists mainly of [[Christian]] holidays. Many of these are however a continuation of pre-christian customs, such as [[Midsummer|Midsummer]] and [[Walpurgis Night]]. Apart from official holidays and a few ''de facto'' holidays there are also [[Flag days in Sweden|official flag day]] observances and minor observances in the [[Namesdays in Sweden|namesday]] calendar. The [[National holiday of Sweden|National Day of Sweden]], celebrated on [[June 6]], is not yet a full holiday.
