Sports are extremely important in this country.
3 million Swedes have a membership to local athletic clubs. Winter sports are very popular, but people here also play soccer and basketball, they love swimming, hiking, and of course, riding bicycles. In the intersections, there are special posts that have a pad to place your feet on and rest while on a bike.

I wish I was born in Scandinavia, the most civilized and evolved region with the highest functioning governments. I guess that’s why it’s ranked as the best place in the world for regular citizens with the most people-centric government programs.

#9: "When they found out that eating candy too often was bad for your teeth, the lördagsgodis tradition was born: the Swedish people could eat as many sweets as they wanted, but only one day a week."
I just can't imagine the pervasive cultural mindset necessary for an entire country to permit their government to regulate every individual's eating of candy.
This rubs my spirit of rugged individualism the wrong way - just like when NYC Mayor Bloomberg tried to ban the selling of large-sized soft drinks. Who gave these nanny-state politicians the idea that they had any authority over such things? That's what parents are for. Damn, Sweden, have a Snickers bar.
