cities in the world to the untamed beauty of Arctic wilderness. Whether you prefer strolling through
museums or looking for moose in the forest, you'll find that Sweden is something special.

BACKGROUND
A military power during the 17th century, Sweden has not
participated in any war in almost two centuries. An armed
neutrality was preserved in both World Wars. Sweden's
long-successful economic formula of a capitalist system
interlarded with substantial welfare elements was
challenged in the 1990s by high unemployment and in
2000-02 by the global economic downturn, but fiscal
discipline over the past several years has allowed the
country to weather economic vagaries. Indecision over
the country's role in the political and economic integration
of Europe delayed Sweden's entry into the EU until 1995,
and waived the introduction of the Euro in 1999.
