Sweden (Swedish: Sverige) is a sparsely populated Nordic country in northern Europe. It shares a border with Norway to the west and Finland to the northeast. It is also connected to Denmark by the Öresund Bridge-Tunnel. Covering 450,295 sq km (173,860 sq mi), Sweden is the third largest country in the European Union in terms of area, but it only has a population of 9.4 million people, giving it a relatively low population density. The capital and biggest city is Stockholm.

Sweden is today a constitutional monarchy with one of the highest Human Development Index. The country comprises 25 provinces with 15% of the country lying north of the Arctic Circle. Due to its location in Northern Europe, Sweden experiences a temperate climate that is moderated by the Gulf Stream, giving Sweden warmer winters than places on similar latitude in Russia, Canada and the United States.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
