Default Sweden

Sweden has a big welfare state paid for by the toil of Third World workers and peasants.

Because Sweden is not a huge country, sometimes we do not hear about its multinational corporations. Here is an article to correct that:

Thanks for this hugely informative article. I haven't seen articles of this quality since the fall of the Soviet Union. You and Bush are quite right, these evil social democrat countries must be brought to order.

Geographically it is larger than quite a lot of countries. Politically it is a lot smaller granted, but then what would you rather be....

A really large country that thinks its the world's police force and is hated everywhere

or

A small neutral country that has one of the highest standards of living in the whole of Europe and never ever pisses anybody off.


All countries and governments get up to no good.

Just putting a clearifying note about who said it, so that the Swedes, that has an exellent army btw., will not think I am abusing them.

Certainly not one worthy of note.

Heck compared to Sweden, Canada looks pretty tough even though their Military would last all of an hour against say the NYPD.
