Introduction
history
The Kingdom of Sweden is located in Northern Europe and belongs to Scandinavia along with Denmark and Norway. Sweden is a country with a more advanced society and a more developed economy in the modern world. Its early history can be found in Sakya literature, which is also the first literature about the legendary king of Sweden. Although there is no exact record of the time when the kingdom was established, over time, the loosely-connected Viking tribes gradually unified on the land of Sweden. Under the leadership of the great king and general Gustav Adolf II, Sweden entered a period of strong national strength in the 17th century, and its military and political strength reached its peak.
geography
Sweden extends from the Baltic Sea to the Arctic Circle in the north, and lies between Norway and Finland in the five Nordic countries. It is a densely forested country, most of the country is covered by native pine, spruce and birch trees. The east coast of Sweden is rich in fishery resources, which have been the basis for the development of fishery in Sweden from ancient times to the present.
climate
Although Sweden has considerable differences in climate from south to north, its overall climate is surprisingly dry compared to neighboring countries.
geography
Traditionally, Sweden is divided into three regions and subdivided into 25 "provinces" (landskap), which allows the formation of Swedish cultural characteristics. Most provinces have about 20 middle-level administrative districts, namely "counties" (län). The basic administrative district is called a "city" (kommun), and it usually contains a town or city and surrounding rural areas. Some basic administrative regions still retain legal privileges and become autonomous "towns" (stad). Most grassroots administrative districts have their own passenger halls.
