Landscapes and people that are always working for the greater cause and one country that represents. This is Sweden
So how's it going guys?
My name is Dave waffle and welcome to FTD facts the channel will reteach you guys everything about everything now today
We are looking at one of the most interesting countries and one of my most favorite countries, and that is sweden
And I don't like it just for its beautiful woman, but I like it for so many other facts as well
So for those who are joining us for the first time
This is a channel where we like to get into the comments section and really take
Recommendations from you guys so feel [free] to leave a suggestion for future
FTD facts video and we're going to look into it and
actually because of that some of you guys wanted us to do facts on this country people like
Resolute my craigory ears guard and of course many more of you guys
And we got to thank you all for recommending it now with that in mind considering
We're talking about the beautiful country of Sweden
Let me ask you this which country is the most beautiful people Beyond say Canada is going to be who so on Earth truth
Come on
really now sweden is [a] country that has an area [of] four hundred fifty thousand two hundred ninety five square kilometers and as of
2016 it's a population over nine million
nine hundred ninety five thousand four hundred people and it is estimated that it is already at ten million which makes it the
89th most Populous country in the World through the density of
23.1 people per Square kilometer
[and] of course before we get into the cool achievements of this country we got to talk about Sweden's imports and exports
[Morris] April according to the oec it has 159 billion dollars in exports and 154 billion in imports
But sweden is known for exporting machinery and electrical equipment
Which makes up a majority of the exports coming in at forty four point eight billion dollars this is stuff like
Telephones fourth lives you name it they've done but refined petroleum makes up on its own
6.9% and [its] import well the machinery also makes up
40.2 with Crude petroleum coming in at 7.2 percent [now] when we hear of [Sweden]
We like to probably say yo these people speak swedish now this Northern Germanic
Language is a descendant of old norse language
But the crazy part is this wasn't an official language until the country recognized it on july 1st
2009 but besides its language Sweden also has some really cool traditions. Especially during Christmas for example since
1966 the town of Diabla has always put up a giant straw goat and
unfortunately every single year this straw goat is always burned down and it's kind of an
unacceptable tradition the funny part is although they keep an eye out for
Vandals if the giant goat is burned down before December 13th it is rebuilt for the holidays now
Have you ever heard of the Ericsson globe it is a cool structure located in Stockholm, originally?
It was called the Stockholm arena, and it is the large spherical building in the entire world
[it] has a diameter of 110 meters by 85 metres tall and can hold up to
16,000 people for spectacles and games, but [that] is really not the only thing that [makes] the ericsson globe really important
This is probably one of my favorite facts of all of sweden that I've heard of so far and the fact is [that] the ericsson
Globe
represents the Sun
And I never [noticed] [that] sweden is home to the largest
Scale model of the solar system in the entire world throughout the entire country the solar system is represented
For example you have mercury being the stockholm City Museum [Earth] is represented for kozma
Nova Rix Musette [and] Stockholm and as for pluto. It's located all the way out in the dell in lakes in Delta
It's crazy the model of the solar system takes up the entire
country of Sweden
It's so cool and because that sweden takes great pride in its country and because that it takes great care of its
ecosystems and life and to prove that the country has
15 une Seo will [tear] sites with one still on the
Consideration list but one of the most interesting ones is the stroke geodetic Arc [which] [sweden] shares with many other European countries like?
Germany and Belarus now this art was inscribed in
2005 and the interesting thing about it it was built in 1816 to
1855 and it was a series [obtained] triangulations going over
[2250] [kilometer]
And this was in order for scientists Frederic George will hem bumps through here to get an exact reading of how large the Earth
Actually was of course when we talk [about] Sweden. We cannot forget about the famous ice [hotel]
Hotel that is completely made of ice even right down to the cup that [you] drink out of it was first constructed in
1990 and every Year it's always been rebuilt when it gets cold and the ice from the structure comes from the torille [River] and
All the ice makes the structure over sixty four thousand six hundred square feet
I've always wanted to go there, but I think it's really expensive of course one other fascinating thing about Sweden
Is that it hasn't participated [in] any wars in the last [two] hundred [years]?
This all happened after the napoleonic wars which at the time Sweden had many conflicts with Russia?
But the signing of the policy of 1812 was the beginning of its peace however the funny part is is [after] the cold war
Sweden has dropped its principle of neutrality and although is not mandatory among its people to this day
They still continue to lower its military might but when it comes to the history of sweden [its] people have a great story
And one of those famous stories is it is the first country to have a woman win a nobel prize for literature
This was selma lagerlof who is a teacher and writer and not only was she the first woman to win for literature?
She was the third
Woman to win a nobel prize in history and let's not forget that since
1901 the Country is the country that gives out the nobel peace prizes each year in Stockholm, Sweden, but that's it guys once again
We've learned a lot about a new country and its people [my] name is Dave Wawa, and it's been a pleasure talking about Sweden
But before we get out of here guys [we] want you guys to leave a comment down [there] for future FTD facts videos
And of course check out our other videos, but more importantly check out our trailer for a new series [called] [speak] [easy]

Modernized country with a heavy history and culture skating thousands of years ago
