Sweden
Sweden is about the same size as the state of California or the country of Spain. It is half-covered by forests, dotted with nearly 100,000 lakes, and thousands of islands line its coastline. It is one of the largest and most prosperous countries in Europe and supports a large and efficient industrial complex. With a population of only 9.2 million inhabitants, however, it is not crowded, and its citizens enjoy a superb quality of life and one of the highest standards of living in the world. © 2009, The Globe Pequot Press, LaVerne Ferguson-Kosinski Information by Europe by Eurail |
