Flag of Sweden Sweden is a minor power located in Scandinavia. While being a minor power, it by far exceeds the other scandinavian countries in strength, due to its better manpower and resources. It borders Flag of Norway Norway to the west and north, Flag of Finland Finland to the east and is very close to Flag of Denmark Denmark to the southwest. It is bounded by the Baltic Sea to the south and southeast. While rich in useful resources, it remains sharply constrained by its relatively small population and its pursuit of neutrality, leaving it mostly free to watch the coming storm.

Geography[edit | edit source]

Sweden is located in northern Europe on the Scandinavian peninsular. It mostly consists of flat, arable land in the far south, hills, mountains northwest, and forest. Much of the Swedish land is covered in dense forest, and many large rivers run through the land from the Scandinavian mountains. The Scandinavian Mountains dominate the western side of Sweden and makes up the natural border between Sweden and the neighboring country Flag of Norway Norway. In the far north runs the great river of Torne älv, which is made up of the natural border between Sweden and Flag of Finland Finland. Sweden also borders Flag of Denmark Denmark in the south, with a small overseas connection between Zealand and Skåne.


Swedens capital Stockholm lies to the east and is the only urban area in the state.

Historical Background[edit | edit source]

Despite being aligned with other Democratic nations ideologically, historically Sweden was able to preserve its neutrality during the war. Sweden stayed neutral throughout World War I and II, siding neither with the Axis nor the Allies. But Sweden did let trains carrying German soldiers and supplies go through the country to both Flag of Finland Finland and Flag of Norway Norway (the so-called Permittenttrafik) to avoid getting into a war with the Germans. Sweden was also the biggest supplier of iron ore to Flag of Germany Germany which is often discussed as a potential reason for its successful neutrality, with the metal provided accounting for about 58% of German supplies and 31% of British. The Swedish government allowed British access to its territory to ensure the delivery of the bearings through the German naval blockade. Sweden managed to decrypt the German Geheimfernschreiber(considered more complicated than the famous Enigma machine) in only two weeks in June 1940 and over the course of the war, Sweden spied on German intelligence. In some rare cases, Sweden actively supplied information to the allies about this. The most famous such act was when Sweden provided information to the United Kingdom about the upcoming Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of the Soviet Union. The British submitted the information further to Stalin who ignored it, with devastating results. Being a neutral country, tens of thousands of Jewish refugees fled to Sweden to escape the Nazi Holocaust.

National Focus[edit | edit source]

Main article: Generic national focus tree

As a minor nation, Sweden uses the generic National Focus Tree, covering Army, Aviation, Naval, Industrial and Political branches.

Technology[edit | edit source]

Sweden begins with several technologies for armor, ships, and aircraft, but no doctrines or industrial technologies. Sweden also begins with 3 research slots available; two more can be unlocked through the National Focus tree.

Politics[edit | edit source]

Sweden is walking a fine line, remaining clear of Democratic entanglements on the European continent while safeguarding its own strict neutrality. Sweden's government faces elections every 4 years.

With the Waking the Tiger Waking the Tiger expansion, Sweden has two special Decisions to form either the Flag of Nordic League Nordic Council - which is shared with the other nations that make up the Council - or to restore the old Kalmar Union and create Flag of Scandinavia Scandinavia once Norway and Denmark are under Swedish control, possibly as a stepping stone to the Council later on.

National spirits[edit | edit source]

Sweden starts with two National Spirits:

Military[edit | edit source]

In 1936, Sweden starts with 12 total divisions, with an unusual set of Division Templates. 6 Divisions are classified as "militia" Infantry, consisting of 2 infantry battalions and 2 cavalry battalions. Joining these are 5 Regular divisions consisting of 6 infantry battalions backed up by support artillery, engineering and recon companies. Joining these is the lone 3-battalion Cavalry Division along with its recon support company. The navy is spread along the southern coastline, consisting of 7 Destroyers, 9 Heavy Cruisers, 2 Light Cruisers and 10 Submarines. Sweden's relatively small air force consists of 36 CAS, 30 Fighters and 12 Naval Bombers. Remaining recruitable Manpowermanpower is at 27.76K at the 1936 starting date. All divisions are suffering from severe equipment shortages.

Strategies and Guides[edit | edit source]

Strategy The below is one of many player suggested strategies for Sweden. Bear in mind, due to the dynamic nature of the game, it may unfold differently for other players.

Fascist Sweden → Scandinavia → Nordic Empire[edit | edit source]

As of version 1.12.3 (By Blood Alone), Sweden can fairly easily (re)form Scandinavia and eventually proclaim Nordic Unity and - if one is lucky - without being dragged into the 2nd World War, doing so however can be somewhat a race against the clock.

Start off by taking the focus "Political Effort", then choose the fascist political advisor Per Engdahl and eventually become fascist. After this you can chose whichever focuses you feel like though expanding your industry via the generic focus tree is a good option.

While slowly becoming fascist, make sure to construct civil and military factories as well as naval dockyards, Sweden has a decent navy but if playing the long game, a much stronger navy is a must, in particular if participating in the 2nd World War. You should also not disband your current fleets, but should station them it in Malmö (the southern tip of Sweden just east of Copenhagen), it can be given an exercise order but will most likely deplete your fuel stockpile unless you find enough people to buy oil from. As for military you can make do with 20 width infantry with support engineers, recon, artillery, anti-air, and anti-tank - not a particularly good combination but a decent "jack of all trades", but you should make sure you have at least 12 by the time you declare war on Denmark, however keep training more!

The next step - once fascist - is to save up 120 political power points and fabricate a war goal on both Denmark and Norway, The reason for this is in part to save time, and in part if you begin fabricating a claim on Norway after conquering Denmark some one - usually France or England, but occasionally the Czech Republic - will guarantee Norway. Of your 12 armies you should make 5 naval invasions, 2 on Funen (the island in the middle with the city of Odense) and 3 on the east coast of Jutland (the peninsular to the west). These should be ready by the time the war goal has been fabricated, you can - with some advantage - wait until the very last moment for the war goal to expire to declare war on Denmark. This makes it less likely someone will guarantee Norway while that war goal is being fabricated. Once the war begins move your fleets into Kattegat and initiate the naval invasions and use the naval invasion forces to conquer all of Denmark EXCEPT Bornholm (the island south of Sweden), the Atlantic Islands and Copenhagen - the capital. Make an order to hold the line across the strait from Copenhagen and when the rest of Denmark has been conquered make another order to hold the line on the opposite side of Copenhagen. Man each of these lines with 2 units each, the remainder of your force can be moved to the border of Norway and an attack line along the Norwegian coast can be drawn.

Once war is declared on Norway you can take Copenhagen and capitulate Denmark. Take all of their states. Norway is so easy at this point you do not need to micromanage your units and can just let your general do their thing, however many experienced players can probably do better than this. If you are lucky both Denmark and Norway will be capitulated by late 1938, or early 1939, Scandinavia can be formed and you can decide whether or not to join the upcoming war. Do note however that since By Blood Alone, Germany will have "strategic reasons" not to ally Scandinavia once "German interests in Scandinavia" has happened - perhaps even before, this has not been tested by the writer of this guide.

Once Scandinavia is formed - and if you intent to join the war - your number one priority should be to construct coastal forts on the provinces on the Atlantic islands that has a dockyard and units should be stationed there to avoid a naval invasion from the Allies.

If you wish to go further you only need to get Finland in the fold. Keep building various factories and dock yards and expand your army, but to not even think about fabricating a war goal on Finland until after the Winter War (Soviet invasion of Finland) has taken place - otherwise a democratic country will guarantee Finland. This might be a great way to trap the Soviets in a war against the Allies - but it also make things much more complicated for you.

Instead wait until the Winter War has ended, Finland will be in a much weakened position, to fabricate a war goal. Make 10 naval invasions on the southern coast of Finland and station the rest of your army in the north - forcing Finland to fight on two fronts. Once again your general is adequate to defeat Finland without micromanagement. And once again you don't need to do much micromanagement. with Finland annexed you can proclaim the Nordic Empire, lean back and relax, expand your templates to 40 width over time, and perhaps supply the Axis with some lend lease equipment without being an active participant - with some luck.

If you do want to join the war on the side of the Axis, you should try and time it so that you have a war goal on the Soviet Union by mid-1941, just in time for the German invasion.
