10 things to know about Sweden

How to use the publication

It’s difficult to fit a country into a brochure as small as this. This is an attempt to boil down Sweden to ten vital facts. Discover how large Sweden is in relation to its small population, that the Equality Ombudsman is sort of king, and that Midsummer is a serious matter of fun and games.
