High taxes, socialism, constant darkness… Sweden really is proof that, if you fill a country full of hot women, people will put up with a wretched landscape. By pussying out of armed conflicts for the past 200 years and focusing instead on investment in education, healthcare and manufacturing, the Swedes now enjoy one of the highest standards of living in the world. The result is a nation that’s terrible at democracy but excellent at making ridiculously fast sportscars.
