In the great Scandinavian region of Europe lies a nation that defines all things Nordic and Scandinavian. This nation has one of the strongest connections to vikings and viking history. In this nation there has been economic strife and there has been success and today it uses the Nordic Model to use the great wealth of the nation to give back to its people. This is the home to IKEA, the homebase of ABBA, this is the Welfare State and this is Sweden.
