Sweden has got some of my favourite Metal bands. (Sparzanza,Opeth and Evergrey)

Here in Finland a lot of Finns think of Swedes as cowards (mesar)... It could be because you sound so happy all the time, while we Finns are... well, not so much :P

Swedes are happy and friendly people.

You have a King and Queen.

You are great at Ice Hockey and also good at football (at least used to be).

I can't think of too much at the moment.:?

Switzerland is resonable for cheese but i think you meant Savoie which is a region of France.

I think we've had enough of those "Hey check out my country, what do you know of it?" fishing-for-comments type of threads.

I met a Swedish girl recently and who I'm now dating and she's gorgeous.

So yeah, blonde hair and blue eyes is one thing.

Bathory =]

Vikings of old

Mountainous regions with cold harsh winters and wonderful countrysides.

I understand as well that crown princess Victoria married a commoner, which is nice that she's not excusive to royalty.

Volvos.

A ****load of blondes.

Very relaxed when it comes to sex.

Vikings from Sweden(probably) founded the Fair City that is Dublin.

DICE(I think)

Excellent education system.

Very Wealthy country

One of the worlds "best places to live" but at the same time has one of the worlds highest suicide rates:|

Its dark for like 9 months of the year with a load of fog.

Pippi Longstocking is of Swedish creation I believe.

I married a Swede. Beautiful country. One of the best kept secrets in the world. Great standard of living. Beautiful environment and scenery. Warm and generous people who go out of their way to help fellow Swedes and other Scandinavians. And yes, some very hot women.
