Sweden is known throughout the world for its neutrality. This policy has led to a number of Swedish politicians taking on international roles, often mediating between conflicting groups or ideologies.
When did Swedes stop using nuclear power?
Swedes voted in a referendum in 1980 to phase out nuclear power, and the country began to decommission reactors in 1999. However, fears over climate change and energy security persuaded the government to reverse the decision in 2009, and plans are on the table to replace the country's 10 remaining reactors.
What is it like to live in Sweden?
This mixed economy traditionally featured centralised wage negotiations and a heavily tax-subsidised social security network. The Swedes still enjoy an advanced welfare system, and their standard of living and life expectancy are almost second to none.
Does Stockholm have a music scene?
Stockholm may not be home to the tropics or mirror the glitz of Los Angeles, but the music scene has created the backdrop of electric beginnings to countless artists, producers, and songs that adorn our lives across the planet.
