Sweden, a Scandinavian nation in Northern Europe, spans 450,295 km², making it the fifth-largest country in Europe by area. Its diverse landscape ranges from the Scandinavian Mountains in the west, forming a natural border with Norway, to the Baltic Sea coast in the east. The country is traditionally divided into three regions: Norrland (north), characterized by vast forests and low population density. Svealand (central), featuring major lakes like Vänern and Vättern. And Götaland (south), known for agricultural plains and urban centers such as Malmö. Sweden’s highest point is Kebnekaise at 2,111 meters, while its lowest lies at -2.43 meters in Lake Hammarsjön. The country’s extensive coastline includes thousands of islands, notably Gotland and Öland.
