'''The Old Kingdom of Sweden''' was a nation in mainland Scandinavia that was founded on July 12, 2019. It was previously known as Svealand, Sverige and the Kalmar Union. The nation's capital, from its very birth to its dissolution, was [[Nya Asgard]], which stands close to the city of Linköping in-real-life Sweden. However, it was renamed to Sweden ('''The Old Kingdom of Sweden''') to better reflect the nation's current territory, which became a symbol of its diminished influence over Northern Europe. It was dissolved on the 10th of July 2020 as it merged with '''Stockholm''', under [[Linux]].

The First Kingdom of Sweden, also known as Stockholm before the merger with Sweden, was originally founded by [[lucled]] and [[caarliitoo]], who gave it to xWaazes at a later period. Afterwards, xWaazes made SweHarry the king of the First Kingdom of Sweden and SweHarry then made Wextra king. Wextra and SweHarry ruled the country together.

In early May 2019, Wextra was permanently banned from the server, leaving the First Kingdom of Sweden unseated and having no leader. As per towny mechanics, the newest member of Stockholm would be instead given the title of king when Wextra became inactive for 42 days. On June 14th, 2019, Wextra reached that limit, and the title of King was transferred over to MM1kael from Greater Finland. MM1kael had joined Stockholm a week prior in order to take over the First Kingdom of Sweden. Shortly after the switch, mr_emppu708 was named the new king of Sweden, who swiftly dismissed and exiled all Swedish councillors from the kingdom, effectively turning it into a puppet led entirely by Greater Finland, converting the kingdom to Ruotsi.

After months of inactivity, Ruotsi was on the edge of falling due to Greater Finland and its members leaving EarthMC to create a Finnish version of EarthMC, known as PohjaMC. During this time, Riftal had established the new nation of Finland that pledged to resurrect the old Finnish Empire. Finland offered to make Ruotsi a puppet state, as per the agreement previously with Greater Finland. Ruotsi accepted the terms given by Finland and became Finland's first puppet state.

Soon after Ruotsi fell under Finnish domination, Linux, an exiled player of the Kalmar Union realm and mayor of the nearby city of Enköping (Currently Kungsholmen) had returned from exile. Linux was left with no other choice but to leave the Kalmar Union to join Finland in order to fully take control of Ruotsi and free it from Finnish domination. Linux called upon the Warwick Dynasty to aid him in this endeavour, he and Graylynn joined Finland with their towns and soon after, had Linux's brother Archiekin take control of Nya Asgard which was becoming inactive as Utforskarmannen was unable to continue leading it. In this calculated stroke of luck and opportunity, Linux had effectively taken three Kalmarian cities and had presented it to Finland, giving him and his family a new home. Linux soon used his connections in Finland to contact Ruotsi's leader. mr_emppu708, forming a strategic friendship to intertwine the towns of Enköping, Nya Stockholm and Marskinlinna into one cohesive large city, changing each of the cities' names in the process to a corresponding city district in-real-life Stockholm.

A few weeks later, the rank of 'premium' was released giving nation leaders the ability to change their nation colour. Linux requested for mr_emppu708 to change it, however since mr_emppu708 did not have the premium rank, he passed the nation's leadership onto Linux, allowing Linux to seize total control over Ruotsi to execute the colouring. During this period of leadership under Linux, Linux made changes to Ruotsi, restoring its former ally statuses with other nations and altering the nation name from Ruotsi to Stockholm, a step forward in his goals to create a Unified Municipality that would act as one single capital.

On the 30th of March, 2020, Finland and Sweden engaged in discussing a border treaty, which [[_CrA6914]], [[Riftal]], [[JustADonutHere]], [[Noveritsch]], [[Linux]] and [[ENLS]] were present. The purpose of the treaty was to effectively diminish all border conflict and trespassings by each side. The discussions were hectic once Stockholm was mentioned. Each nation suggested ways to deal with the situation, Sweden made the argument that Stockholm should become independent from either side, to effectively negate the Finnish presence in Sweden, Finland disagreed as they saw it as a colony with their own borders and that Stockholm did not represent the borders of Finland. Sweden countered their argument by classifying all of the cities that were currently being affected by the border treaty as colonies, and that they should all be treated the same, regardless of their size and nation status. Finland felt irked and requested for Stockholm to be excluded for now. Continuing the border discussions they finally reached an agreement and established [[The Kiruna Treaty]]. During this Stockholm held a vote without Finland and Sweden, if they should become independent. Present during the voting was, [[Linux]], [[mr_emppu708]], [[Graylynn]], [[Archiekin]] and [[OddbirdBlanc]]. The vote was finalized and the result was more than the majority (4-1), it was decided that Stockholm should become independent. Neither Finland and Sweden stopped the vote nor the nation of becoming independent effectively making Stockholm independent from both sides.
