		Sweden falls into two main geographical regions: the north (Norrland), comprising about two thirds of the country, which is mountainous (except for a narrow strip of lowland along the Gulf of Bothnia); and the south (Svealand and Götaland), which is mostly low-lying and where most of the population lives.
		Their son, Sigismund III of Poland, was a Roman Catholic; his accession (1592) to the Swedish throne was deeply resented by the Protestant Swedes.
		Sweden entered the United Nations in 1946, and Dag Hammarskjöld, a Swedish diplomat, was secretary-general of the organization from 1953 until his death in 1961.

		Magnus was the second son of Birger Jarl (Earl Birger Magnusson, 1200-66) and Ingeborg Eriksdotter of Sweden, herself the youngest sister of the childless king Eric XI of Sweden, and the youngest daughter of Eric X of Sweden and Richeza of Denmark.

	Sweden - LoveToKnow 1911
		Sweden itself may be considered in four main physical divisions - the mountains and highland district, covering all Norrland and the western part of Svealand; the lowlands of central Sweden; the so-called Sma.land highlands, in the south and southeast; and the plains of Ska.ne, occupying the extreme southward projection of the peninsula.
		The population of Sweden in 1900 was 5,136,441.
		In Sweden, however, both the Vestgotar and the Upland Sviar were discontented, the former on account of the breaking of the king's promise to Olaf of Norway and the latter on account of the introduction of the new religion, and their passions were further inflamed by the lawman Anund of Skara.

		Count Georg Magnus Sprengtporten, or Göran Magnus Sprengtporten as he preferred to call himself, (1740-1819), Swedish and Russian politician, younger brother of Jacob Magnus Sprengtporten, entered the army and rose to the rank of captain during the Seven Years' War.
		During the Riksdag of 1786 he openly opposed Gustav III of Sweden, at the same time engaging in a secret and treasonable correspondence with the Russian ministers with the view of inducing them to assist the Finns by force of arms.
		His own negotiations with his fellow countrymen, especially after Gustav III of Sweden had brought the Finlanders back to their allegiance, failed utterly.

		Before he departed, the French government undertook to pay the outstanding subsidies to Sweden unconditionally, at the rate of one and a half million livres annually; and the comte de Vergennes, one of the great names of French diplomacy, was transferred from Constantinople to Stockholm.
		At this juncture Gustav was approached by Jacob Magnus Sprengtporten, a Finnish nobleman of determined character, who had incurred the enmity of the Caps, with the project of a revolution.
		The Treaty of Värälä saved Sweden from any such humiliating concession, and in October 1791 Gustav took the bold but by no means imprudent step of concluding an eight years' defensive alliance with the empress, who thereby bound herself to pay her new ally annual subsidies amounting to 300,000 roubles.
