It borders Norway to the west and Finland to the northeast; it is bordered by the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Bothnia to the east, and by the straits of Skagerrak and Kattegat to the southwest; the Öresund strait, which separates Sweden from Denmark, has been crossed since 2000 by the homonymous bridge which connects the two countries between Malmö and Copenhagen respectively.
With a surface area of 449,964 km², Sweden is the fifth largest state in political Europe after Russia, Ukraine, France and Spain, as well as the third largest in the Union. It stretches over 1 500 km as the crow flies from north to south.
Population density is low and tends to be concentrated in major cities. The internal territory is mostly occupied by forests. The state is rich in natural resources (timber, iron, water) and the Swedish economy allows the population to enjoy one of the highest standards of living in the world: Sweden is firmly in the top positions in the UN Human Development Rankings.
