Sweden has produced a lot of famous actors, several of whom have done FakeRussian at some point in the career (i.e. Creator/LenaOlin in ''Series/{{Alias}}''- the Derevko sisters are played by a Swede, an Italian (whose mother was Swedish, too) and a Brazilian). Creator/GretaGarbo and Creator/IngridBergman are the most famous. Sweden was also home to the celebrated stage and film director Creator/IngmarBergman (no relation to Ingrid). As a rule, the most famous Swedes tend to become Monegasque (citizens of UsefulNotes/{{Monaco}}) for purposes of tax evasion.

Sweden, having had to deal with a possible threat from UsefulNotes/NaziGermany and later the UsefulNotes/WarsawPact, used to have a pretty advanced military, because it has been a politically neutral country since the early 19th century (the idea being that military neutrality is only credible if your military [[ThisIsSomethingHesGotToDoHimself does not rely on one side or the other for vital equipment]]). Or at least, it was neutral; in 2009, it began to adopt defense treaties with the EU and other Nordic countries, and by 2022, the country has abandoned all pretenses of neutrality by applying to and eventually join NATO. Sweden maintains mandatory conscription (though it was briefly scrapped between 2010 and 2017), and the country tends to get involved in international peacekeeping a lot.

Sweden has been a part of UsefulNotes/TheEuropeanUnion since 1995, but uses its own currency (Krona), instead of adopting the Euro. Since the 2022 UsefulNotes/{{Russia}}n invasion of UsefulNotes/{{Ukraine}}, it has been applying to join the UsefulNotes/{{NATO}}, though its candidacy is currently put on hold, mainly due to a couple of issues with existing member UsefulNotes/{{Turkey}}.

Sweden, having had to deal with a possible threat from UsefulNotes/NaziGermany and later the UsefulNotes/WarsawPact, used to have a pretty advanced military, ''because'' it remains militarily neutral (the idea being that military neutrality is only credible if your military [[ThisIsSomethingHesGotToDoHimself does not rely on one side or the other for vital equipment]]). Sweden had a form of conscription, but as fewer people were conscripted the last decade, and only volunteers could go abroad, it was scrapped in 2010 and brought back again in 2017.
