Kingdom of Sweden

Kingdom of Sweden is a major Hastings 1936 country struggling for superpower title. It is one of the most internally stable powers, having plenty of good chances for growth. Although strong in general unity and economy, Sweden has quite weak army and no reliable army staff which is compensated only by fairly good technological development. Sweden is a secondary member of Duumvirate, being not clearly sure about its future in faction.

1936 Situation
1936 brings new liberal reforms under consideration as there are strong influences of Federal Russia visible in Swedish society. Lack of reform may break the ideal unity of the united Scandinavian societies. The UPCM king's party may be in need of concessions to growing democratic movements, or change their own party program to more radical, using the support of fascist nationalists groups.

Kingdom of Sweden has many choices, and the choice to remain with the King to an end may be the choice that will bring doom to Swedish nation.

Most of predictions are valid only in historical game setting
King Gustaf V decides to partially democratize the country, seeing fascists not as allies but a potential threat to the crown. UPCM wisely balances in their power seeing its main goal to preserve monarchy by any means. The concessions however make dangerous liberal party sow discontent in Kingdom, allowing Russia to semi-control various aspects of Swedish government.

Later, to resist the democratic foreign influence Kingdom of Sweden invades Russian Federation. The invasion, despite backed up by Duumvirate fails miserably and results in king's forced abdication. Russian government sets up provisional republican Council of Scandinavia, imprisoning Gustaf V for his "crimes against world peace", ending the "war to end all wars".

Unitary Parliamentary Constitutional Monarchy
Ideology: Non-aligned (Despotism) | Leader: Gustaf V

Having tradition of nearly thousand years UPCM and so monarchy keeps their grip on the Sweden and her belongings. The popularity of loyalists never decayed thanks to benevolent and mostly deterrent stance of monarchs.
