Sweden retains its position as the tenth most attractive country in the world, writes Liselott Bergman of the Swedish Institute. That is the result of this year’s Anholt-GfK Nation Brands Index (NBI), which measures the global image of 50 countries in terms of attractiveness and perceived qualities. One of Sweden’s challenges is to promote itself as a tourist destination – without having an Eiffel Tower or any other world-famous postcard motif to offer.

Wow, just disgusting...
On a lisr of Free Stuff from the government . . .
If the europeans love him so much, why don’t they elect their own black leader? HAHAHAH what am I thinking..
The US is a great place to live if:
1) You are independently wealthy (because you’ll never find a job here).
2) You are willing to rent (you can find a great deal on a house, but you will never sell it unless you’re willing to take a loss)
3) You are willing to endure some of the worst social tension since the Civil War (hope you like Tea!)
4) You are willing to wait in long lines for low-quality health care (coming to a city near you; sorry, if you live in a quaint American village you will get no health care due to the coming doctor shortage)
5) You are willing to drive low quality GM cars (a once proud industry has taken to low-balling the competition in order to gain market share and is just one executive order away from becoming a mandate for all residents of the US — echoes of Ladas and Trabis)
6. You would enjoy witnessing the world’s most potent and vibrant democracy descend into totalitarianism (GoBama and the GoBamaBot Brownshirts club America into submission — Alinsky Rules!)
“Sweden’s particular strength is governance. Sweden is seen as the home of a successful welfare model and a country that stands up for values like democracy and human rights and that takes its share of responsibility for global issues such as security and sustainability.”
Has Sweden ever contributed anything? I mean scientifically, medicine, architecture, anything?
They probably don’t like men.
Wow, didn’t I read an article a couple days ago about the government kidnapping a 7 year old minutes before he and his parents were moving to India because the parents chose to homeschool because they were moving? article here:

“What gives the Swedish government such power? The government has expressly stated that it is exercising its authority under the U.N Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). Under the treaty, parental rights can be completely thrown aside whenever a government official disagrees with any parental decision, even if it has been proven that no harm to the child has occurred.
Dominic has performed well on academic tests since he was ‘stolen’ from his parents by the Swedish government; however officials state that the future social wellness of the child has been threatened. How? The government believes Dominic has incurred ‘social isolation’ due to being home schooled.
The United States has yet to ratify the UNCRC, however the Obama administration wants to ratify it. To find out more about the UNCRC, go to www.parentalrights.org.”
We are still number 1, Ya betcha...
Yup, Sweden is a great place if you are devoid of individuality, love cold weather and enjoy paying obscene prices for common every needs.
They could import one from some third world hell hole.
I think you’ve pretty much summed up the situation as it stands.
Sad.
Wow! Just getting rid of Bush moves us from 7th to 1st!
By all means tourists should visit Malmo, Sweden’s second largest city. The police don’t even dare go into the Moslem areas and the Jews are fleeing.
“Has Sweden ever contributed anything? I mean scientifically, medicine, architecture, anything?”
- Sweden invented Nazi Germany, I think.
Malmö isn’t Muslim.
I don’t need more Muslims in my country, Sweden, but;
Please judge for yourself what signs there are to be found of your theories about Sweden’s third largest city:
(Just choose Malmö)
