As a person living in Skåne. The part furthest south in Sweden and that is actually a part that is occupied from Dennmark in the 1680s in a war, I cant say I feel very much as a patriotic Swede but I do like Sweden as a country and we do many things right . . aand lots of things wrong like every other country in the world.
I do however think that Swedes as a country arent very patriotic at all compared to lots of other countries due to the fact that we have basically been at peace since about 1700 or so (cant be bothered to check the exact date either).
+ Tom of Finland is a beautifully drawn gay comic. not saying anything about Tom of Swedens sexual preferences or anything like that. http://www.tomoffinlandfoundation.org/
