Can confirm. Live here and it is a pretty boring country to live in. However it is also pretty stable and safe to live here. So depends what’s important to you in terms of living.

Like a mix between the UK and Germany.

The housing situation is also quite bad, it’s near impossible to rent if you move here for work (unless your company acts as a guarantor).

The rent-controlled housing queue system is extremely corrupt and long - at least 8-year queues (unless you’re related to the local administration). Taxes are also insanely high on workers - 56+% income tax, 25% VAT.

The currency has collapsed since COVID so wages are far worse relative to Europe than before (and let’s not even mention the USA).

It’s far from everywhere (you’re not going on holiday to Russia these days), with few direct flights, and long delivery times for imports.

But still the transport is quite good, there are a fair number of new apartments if you can buy a leasehold (it has its own issues with high fees and interest rates though), and a lot of online services.

I’d give it a 6/10.

They have the best coffee in the Nordicks. Löfbergs Kharisma tastes like drips from heaven. Swedes are based!

The coffee and the ice cream are the best things in the country.

Its all Ikea.

Deboard the plane on the Stårons, and go through Pæspørt Kontrøl, dont forget your allen wrenches (must have on your person at all times), and enjoy the pletiful free lingonberries & meatballs as you exit the airport.

If you land and encounter Pæspørt Kontrøl, you have unfortunately arrived in Denmark. It should say Pässpört Kontröl!

If you had been to Sweden you would know that the free pencils you get at the airport are hexagonal and can be used as an Allen key in a pinch to assemble the Tåksi to your hotel.
