Sweden

Swedes are the majority, with the indigenous Sami in the north and one of Europe's larger immigrant and refugee populations, which has made Sweden notably diverse. Swedish is the main language, and English is near-universal.

The Evangelical Lutheran Church is the historic state church, but Sweden is among the most secular nations in the world, with a sizeable Muslim minority among immigrants.

Society

Sweden offers very high living standards, generous social welfare, and long life expectancy, with population growth driven largely by immigration.
