=== | ==='''Before Connect TM (CTM)'''=== | ||
Haikka, one of Sweden's first few citizens, constructed the Trans-Scandinavian ice road, connecting [[Tesoma]], [[Nya Asgard]] and a few other towns, including [[Dread-Fort]], [[Kongsvinger]], and [[Hardanger]]. The simple ice road consisted of main roads and off-roads which branched off the main road into smaller Swedish towns. The line is currently defunct as of the separation of VY and CTM. | |||
=== | ==='''During Connect TM (CTM)'''=== | ||
Sweden | Sweden was served by a large selection of lines ran, constructed and maintained by [[CTM]]. In late July 2019, [[_CrA6914]] contacted the mayor of [[Tallinn]] to see if they could connect [[Kongsvinger]] to [[Terra Mariana]]. Having received the news, the Minister of Infrastructure of [[Terra Mariana]], [[nicosecci]], helped construct and planned the former third line, with a tunnel going under the Baltic Sea connecting Sweden to the Baltic. | ||
This | This resulted in an extensive, integrated network passing through Sweden and [[Terra Mariana]], improving the accessibility of towns in each nation to the respective capitals. At the peak of [[Connect TM|CTM]]'s domination over transport in Sweden, [[CTM]] ran 5 lines in the area, with another 3 lines being under construction (now waived), to further improve convenience and connectivity to remote towns, otherwise hard to get to in any other means of transport due to the undulating terrain of Sweden, far from any coast. | ||

Currently, there are 2 towns in Sweden with a functional T-Bana system. These towns are: Greater Nya Asgard, and [[Kongsvinger]]. The third town to have a T-Bana in the nation was [[Visby]]. However, due to a population shortage, [[Visby]] was handed over to [[Terra Mariana]]. | Currently, there are 2 towns in Sweden with a functional T-Bana system.

There were plans to construct a Rapid Transit system in [[Karlstad]] to connect their 2 stations, Karlstad Johan and Karlstad Haakon Seventh, but was eventually scrapped with the fall of Karlstad | ||

Sverige is notable in that it is the only known country to actually have not only a temple but an actual community of followers of the Norse faith, the most notable follower being the king. There is a well in the temple where followers of the faith can make offerings to the gods. | Sverige is notable in that it is the only known country to actually have not only a temple but an actual community of followers of the Norse faith, the most notable follower being the king.

A few days after the sacking of Stockholm, NordicFenris led a group of his fellow countrymen into the city to demand its return to Swedish governance after being outraged by the multiple flag burnings. The Finnish resisted and threatened war. Within the hour, several Finns had joined the game and Sverige was forced to back down. This is considered the second greatest humiliation in Kalmarian history. | A few days after the sacking of Stockholm, NordicFenris led a group of his fellow countrymen into the city to demand its return to Swedish governance after being outraged by the multiple flag burnings.

=== ''The Nobel Prize Disaster'' === | ==='''The Nobel Prize Disaster'''=== | ||
On the 29th of December 2019, the highly anticipated Nobel Prize Ceremony, which was set to be hosted in [https://earthmc.fandom.com/wiki/Uppsala_1 Uppsala], was further delayed by internal complications of the Nobel Prize Committee. For about 30 minutes, guests of the [https://earthmc.fandom.com/wiki/The_Nobel_Prize Nobel Prize] streamed into the Queen's Theatre, expecting the ceremony to begin soon. However, when [https://earthmc.fandom.com/wiki/Linus Linus], the spokesperson for the Nobel Prize Committee, did not show despite the timing being set, many felt outraged and some even thought that the Nobel Prize Committee embezzled donations and funding from the public. Many took to the discord server of the Nobel Prize to voice out their unhappiness at the long and frustrating delay, with some spam-tagging [https://earthmc.fandom.com/wiki/Linus Linus] and other prominent Committee members. The reputation of the Nobel Prize Committee was once marred due to the case of the stolen prize (worth 604G), which many believed to be signs of embezzlement (However, further investigations by the Committee showed that the gold was stolen by Periano). Anger due to the long wait boiled over to insulting the Committee for being 'inept and incompetent', and 'being a big scam'. Approximately 35 minutes into the delay, [https://earthmc.fandom.com/wiki/Linus Linus], the spokesperson of the Committee, came on to EarthMC to a frustrated crowd. Initially, [https://earthmc.fandom.com/wiki/Linus Linus] wanted to explain the situation to the public (which was that all the laureates were absent), but his efforts were in vain due to the public outcry of an 'inept and pathetic' version of the [https://earthmc.fandom.com/wiki/The_Nobel_Prize Nobel Prize]. This failure of the public caused [https://earthmc.fandom.com/wiki/Linus Linus] to put the Nobel Prize Ceremony on indefinite hiatus, which caused many already at the ceremony to be irritated. While [https://earthmc.fandom.com/wiki/Linus Linus] was taking down the gold blocks (set for the laureates), a fault in the claims of [https://earthmc.fandom.com/wiki/Uppsala_1 Uppsala] caused by a small unclaimed portion of the stage), was discovered. Tyce, seizing the opportunity (as [https://earthmc.fandom.com/wiki/Linus Linus] went into a mode of 'AFK'), set a few TNT on this unclaimed part of the stage, which killed [https://earthmc.fandom.com/wiki/Linus Linus]. Cubs_ and Tyce leapt onto the items in Linus's inventory, including the gold meant to be the prize for the laureates and stole them before leaving [https://earthmc.fandom.com/wiki/uPPSALA_1 Uppsala]. The estimated loss gives a number between 90G to 180G inclusive. This caused [https://earthmc.fandom.com/wiki/Linus Linus] to delete the Nobel Prize Server and servers related under the brand name "[https://earthmc.fandom.com/wiki/Warwick_Equity Warwick Equity]" (Prominent ones include the [https://earthmc.fandom.com/wiki/Scandinavian_Television SVT] and the [https://earthmc.fandom.com/wiki/The_Nobel_Prize Nobel Prize] Server).

It is the tallest building in the entire nation. It is a common misconception that the Nordic rune on the front of the tower symbolizes Nazism or some other kind of extreme-right ideology. It is in fact just a symbol that has been around for hundreds of years that represents the country's Swedish heritage and it is only used negatively by a small group of bigots.
