is the nature. The nature is really magical,

Sweden's latest head of state is King Carl XVI Gustaf. He will be succeeded by Crown Princess Victoria.
If the kingdom is at war, the head of state must by law follow the government.

Sweden's criminals are estimated to have a
turnover of around SEK 352 billion and generate
SEK 185 billion in profits annually, according to
a recent report from ESO, the Expert Group for
Public Economics.
"This is a threat to society, and we must therefore get all actors in society on board," National Police Commissioner Petra Lundh told TT.
Previous estimates have been in the range of SEK 100–150 billion per year.
"What is worrying is that this permeates the whole of society, all industries, SEK 352 billion is 5.5 percent of GDP.

Who is responsible?

On April 8 1973, North Korea declared that it had received and accepted Sweden's proposal to establish diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Until 2001, Sweden was the only Western country with an unbroken diplomatic presence in North Korea.
Sweden is serving (or has served) as 'protecting power' in North Korea for several countries: Canada, United States, Australia, Italy, and all Nordic countries.
After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Sweden acted as the protecting power for Japanese nationals in Hawaii during World War II.
Sweden has represented the United Kingdom as protecting power in Iran at times when diplomatic relations have been broken off.
Sweden often acts as an intermediary in negotiations between North Korea and Western countries.
The Swedish embassy in Pyongyang is today co–located with the French, British and the German embassy
Few Western nations still have an embassy in Pyongyang.

In the mid–1970s, export companies signed large trade contracts and shipped Swedish–made industrial equipment to North Korea—including heavy mining machinery and 1,000 Volvo cars.
To this day, the cars have not been paid for. <!– why? –>
Also in the 1970s: North Korean diplomats were discovered to run smuggling of cigarettes and liquor in Western Europe as part of the country's illicit activities to earn currency.
Out of these smuggling rings, the largest one was in Sweden.

It's so interesting, that despite the Kingdom of Sweden's very long, and, seemingly instrumental—perhaps leading?—involvment in/with North Korea, why were they a threat to the world during all this time?
Same with the Kingdom of Sweden's involvment in/with Iran, since, at least, the early 1900s—perhaps even earlier.
Why were they a threat to the world during all this time?
The Kingdom that was painted for the world, was an illusion.
The Kingdom of Sweden has not just been a participant, but also very instrumental—and, again, perhaps even leading.
The Kingdom of Sweden's true history must be dealt with—openly, and before the world to see.
Regardless.
That is, if "things" are to move forward.

On Voting From Abroad
Today [March 26, 2026] in Swedish media:
Fler utlandssvenskar ska rösta.
[machine translation]
The government wants to encourage more Swedes living abroad to vote. In the last election, only 32 percent of them voted.
For this reason, the government has asked the Election Authority with broadening and deepening the information provided about the voting rights and voting options available to Swedes living abroad ahead of the September election. Among other things, letters will be sent to everyone who has been removed from the voter registry in the past 15 years.
Efforts are also being made to ensure that the number of polling stations abroad reaches a record high—nearly 300—and that their opening hours are extended.

Guilty Until Proven Innocent
In Sweden, this is standard procedure.
Every once in a while, the UN will criticize Sweden for this, still, nothing has ever changed.
Others, who would criticize Sweden for having this concept of pre–trial detention, call it a hostage situation since you're being detained [punished] before a verdict/judgment.
There is no such thing as posting bail before trial and it's always been like this. Also, Swedish pre–trial detention can last for a very long time.
English/Swedish: Pre–trial Detention = Häktning
In Sweden, is probably not what you'd think it is.
To be selected for jury duty, you have to be a member of any of the established political parties.

A network started by Anne Ramberg in 2006. At the time, Anne Ramberg was presiding over the Swedish BAR Association.
The Hilda & Rubin network consist of lawyers, judges, police and state administrators ("public servants").
One of the requirements a person must meet in order to join, is sharing the network's values.
There are, in my opinion, many interesting current and former members of the Hilda & Rubin network.
Hilda: The club for women.
Rubin: The club for men.

National Minority Groups
— Recognized by the Swedish Reichstag —
Jews, Roma, Saami (indigenous), Sweden Finns, Tornedalers
Ashkenazi, Roma, Saami (indigenous), Sweden Finns, Tornedalers
The Swedish language, is also one of the many Germanic languages that form a branch of the Indo–European language family—it can be traced back approximately 1,200 years.
National Minority Languages

Countries
Sweden is one of eight countries that recognize Yiddish as a minority language:
Israel, Belarus, Netherlands, Poland,
Sweden, Ukraine, Romania, Russia
Yiddish language, one of the many Germanic languages that form a branch of the Indo–European language family.
Yiddish is the language of the Ashkenazim, central and eastern European Jews and their descendants.
Yiddish is written in the Hebrew alphabet.
The earliest dated Yiddish documents are from the 12th century AD, but scholars have dated the origin of the language to the 9th century, when the Ashkenazim emerged as a unique cultural entity in central Europe.
Yiddish first arose through an intricate fusion of two linguistic stocks: a Semitic component (containing postclassical Hebrew and Aramic that the first settlers brought with them to Europe from the Middle East) and a grammatically and lexically more potent Germanic component.
In addition, a sprinkling of words from Romance languages also seems to have appeared in Yiddish from early on.
Yiddish has also a Slavic component.

Yiddish is short for Yidish–Taitsh (Jewish German).
Questions
Was it the Swedish language that influenced the German
language, or the German language that influenced the
Swedish language?
How did this really come about?
And, the ancient Norse languages?
How do the Norse languages fit into all this?
Which language was where first?
———————— ————————
Ashkenazi Jewish German (Yiddish), for instance, was not first.
The ancient Norse languages were on the other hand.
The Ashkenazi Jewish German (Yiddish) language must have had a strong lobby in order to get that classification in Sweden, I think.
Again, what about the ancient Norse languages?
Why are the ancient Norse languages not cherished more?
First Jews in Sweden can be traced back to the 1500s.
(not determined if they were Ashkenazi or Hebrew Jews)
a wild guess: Ashkenazi Jewish German (Yiddish).
First [documented] trace of the Ashkenazi Jewish German
(Yiddish) language in Sweden is found in the late 1700s.
Why is Ashkenazi Jewish German (Yiddish) a national minority language in Sweden?
And why is Hebrew not?
It would also make more [common] sense if the Ashkenazi were considered a national minority group—not 'Jews' in general.
Thought: It's their own separation of things that makes this what it is.
———————— ————————
I can't find the logic behind the minority issue regarding Jews, Ashkenazi, Hebrew, Yiddish, and so on, in Sweden.
Or all of Scandinavia for that matter.
To be honest, something seems fake—not 100%.
Like most other things surrounding the Great State of Schweden.
When researching this, you'll come across words and names such as Ashkenazi, Scythia, Khazaria, Ukraine, Black Sea, and many more.
Scythia and Khazaria are roughly same areas, different eras.

Så blev Småland, Sveriges sista upprorslandskap,
genom tvångsanslutning förenat med Riket.
Och året efter sin seger över smålandsbönderna, 1544,
grundade Gustav Vasa genom Västerås arvförening,
sitt ärftliga konungadöme.
Det nationella svenska konungadömet räddades den gången främst genom
den hjälp som lämnades kungen av 6 000 legosoldater från Tyskland.

So became Småland, Sweden's last rebellion province,
by forced affiliation united with the Reich.
And the year after his victory over the peasants of Småland, in 1544,
founded Gustav Vasa through the Västerås inheritance association,
his hereditary kingdom.
The national Swedish kingdom was saved at that time mainly by
the help provided to the king by 6,000 mercenaries from Germany.
