Join me as I take a whirlwind tour of Sweden's history, geography, economy and culture. 🇸🇪
Sweden's influence in the world is huge in comparison to its population size. Why is this? What is it in the culture and people of Sweden that makes it so disproportionately influential? In this video I hope to provide the answer by an examination of some facts about Sweden, its history and geography.

Sweden is famous for its Viking past, but less well known is after Gustav Vasa freed the Swedes from the yoke of foreign influence, the power it wielded in the 17th and 18 Centuries was one of the greatest in Europe, in what was known as the Swedish Empire.
Today, the is much more peaceful, and has a reputation as an honest broker in peace negotiations through over two centuries of abstaining from war.
Have you thought about what it's like living in Sweden? Although being a member of the EU, it has retained its currency, the Swedish Krona. The Swedish economy is very strong and stable, and its companies are known globally, including IKEA, Volvo, Saab, Scania, Ericsson and Spotify.
It's culture is one of the most liberal in the world, with personal freedom being of top importance throughout its history.
🌲 If you're interested in travel to Sweden, one should be aware of its climate, landscapes, biomes and geography. Taiga (boreal forest) in the north dominates❄️, mixed forest is in the middle, and broadleaf deciduous forest in the south, although much land in the southern part is given over to farming. The top three cities are the capital of Stockholm, followed by the industrial centre of Gothenburg (Göteborg) and Malmö, which lies across the Øresund Bridge from Copenhagen.
