Constitutional
monarchy A military power during the 17th century, Sweden
has not participated in any war in almost two centuries. An armed neutrality was
preserved in both World Wars. Sweden's long-successful economic formula of a capitalist
system interlarded with substantial welfare elements was challenged in the 1990s
by high unemployment, rising maintenance costs, and a declining position in world
markets. Indecision over the country's role in the political and economic integration
of Europe delayed Sweden's entry into the EU until 1995, and waived the introduction
of the euro in 1999. Area:
