Facts about Sweden

Today we went on www.cia.gov and we were able to research a country and write 5 paragraphs about 5 facts. I chose the country Sweden because I know nothing about it and thought that it would be interesting to learn something about it.

The first fact I found about Sweden is that there population is only 9,960,487. Which means that the United States have nearly 314 million more people. Sweden is number 91 in the world for population while the United States is number 3 in the world.

The second fact that I found about Sweden is that Sweden has mostly a Lutheran based religion. But it also has many other religions that people in Sweden study. 63.5% Lutheran 8.1% other ( Roman Catholic, orthodox, baptist, muslim, jewish, and buddhist) and then 28.4% none or unspecified. 

The third fact that I found about Sweden is that there official language is Swedish. In addition to Swedish though many people can also speak Finnish, Sami, Romani, Yiddish, Meankielli are officially minority languages that many can speak.

The fourth fact that I found out that there birth rate is 12.1 per 1,000 people. This birth rate is only .4 less then the United States birth rate which is 12.5. This means that people in the United States has a higher birth rate then Sweden.

The fifth fact that i found about Sweden on www.cia.gov was that they have 8 registered air carriers, 219 aircrafts and 231 airports. Out of the 231 airports there were 82 unpaved runways and 149 paved airways.
