Is it true that Sweden's a rich country ?

Question

If it is why ?

Thanks

Answer 1

I don't know but I love Sweden. I lived there this year for four months May-Aug playing pro football. I lived in Tyreso, Sweden. It is a small town just south of Stockholm and the parts of the country I saw were clean. I traveled all the way down to Malmo also. But I would love to go back and party again in Stockholm.  Check my myspace or facebook page  G.C. McCoy

Answer 2

DJ from h**l - Sweden DOES have an army however like someone else said we haven't been to war in ages and that is a major reason why Sweden is one of the top countries financially.  

Answer 3

yes it is, also FULL of vegans and vegetarians. They speak English very well over there as well, so I don't think language would be much of a barrier.

Don't know why they rich though.

Answer 4

It is probably one of the richest countries per capita, but in dollars and cents (or "kronor och ören"), I think the GNP of Sweden is only about the size of the official American military budget alone.

The average income is smaller than in USA, but there's less differences between the richest and the poorest, and the health care and education is free (almost).

There's no real slum areas, although many immigrants in the big cities lives in areas where the standard is lower.

Answer 5

Yes Sweden is a rich country as are all the other countries of northern Europe/Scandinavia (Denmark, Finland, Iceland and Norway, actually the Scandinavian countries are among the richest in the word, Iceland and Norway are at the top).

Sweden has not been at war for many hundred of years. They have had time to develop their forest and mining industry during those years and later on their car industry (Volvo, Saab), cell phone industry (Sony Ericson) for instance, just to give you a few examples.
