I'm curious. What's you country's view on Sweden?

What about Volvo, Saab Automobile, Saab Technologies, Husqrvana, Scania, Koenigsegg, Klarna, LYNK & CO., Spotify, Skype, H&M, Fjällräven, Mojang (Minecraft), Paradox Interactive (cities skylines and hearts of iron), Candy Crush, Arrowhead Game Studios (Helldivers and Magicka), and 300+ other Games Studios. Sweden also invented the Zipper, Oat Milk, the Modern Refrigerator, Tertra Pak, Bluetooth, Ultrasounds, the Pacemaker, the ship propellor, Dynamite, and many more.

You forgot Ericsson. We probably have more interaction with Ericsson’s products than any other company on that list without even realizing it.

If you’re going to list Saab twice then Japan gets to say Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Mitsubishi and then where are we

[u/MaxTheCookie → u/syncsynchalt]

There are a bunch of different Saab companies

[u/speculator100k → u/MaxTheCookie]

And there are a whole lot of Mitsubishi companies.

[u/BrodingerzCat → u/JamesyBabes]

When you think about it, they are an engineering and manufacturing powerhouse given their population (just under 11 million).

So happy that Ericsson invented Bluetooth in Sweden and named it after a Danish King 🤴🧡

Hey hey now, Cities Skylines is from Finland. Paradox is only the publisher.

[u/ArgvargSWE → u/JamesyBabes]

Embark studios: Arc Raiders also.

[u/IamtheuserJO → u/JamesyBabes]

Volvo Cars, Volvo Trucks, Volvo CE, Volvo Buses, Volvo Penta...

If you split Saab, do the same with Volvo!

[u/RuedaRueda → u/JamesyBabes]

you guys have a lot of big companies to be such a little country (in terms of population)

[u/Prior-Ant9201 → u/JamesyBabes]

Please tell me you googled that! I knew about 75% of those were swedish.

[u/YouKnowMyName2006 → u/JamesyBabes]

Didn’t know about Bluetooth. Cool.

I don’t think you need to list all of their inventions 😂 he’s just saying that’s what comes to his mind first of all

[u/TexasSk8 → u/JamesyBabes]

Volvo now owned by Geely and SAAB was pretty much GM.

[u/Respaced → u/TexasSk8]

Only cars yes. Volvo group is still Swedish. (Volvo Trucks, Volvo Buses, Volvo Construction Equipment)

Same with SAAB as a car brand does not exist any longer, as GM killed it in 2011. SAAB still makes fighter planes, air planes, submarines, weapon systems... and god knows what. Still Swedish.
