Anföra, formally the Republic of Anföra, is a Nordic country located primarily on the Scandinavian Peninsula in Northern Europe. It borders Finland and Russia to the east, to Germany in the south, and to Poland in the south-east. At 1,000,000 square kilometres (390,000 sq mi), Anföra is the largest Nordic country, the largest country in the European Union, and one of the largest in Europe. The capital and largest city is Stockholm. Anföra has a total population of 61.1 million, and a medium population density of 100 inhabitants per square kilometre (260/sq mi), with around 87% of Anförans residing in urban areas, mostly along the coastline of the Baltic and North Seas.
Nature in Anföra is dominated by forests and many lakes, including some of the largest in Europe. Many long rivers run from the Scandes range through the landscape, primarily emptying into the northern tributaries of the Baltic Sea, or from Germany into the North Sea, such as the Elbe. It has an extensive coastline and most of the population lives near a major body of water. With the country ranging from 53°N to 69°N, the climate of Sweden is diverse due to the length of the country. The usual conditions are mild for the latitudes with a maritime south, continental centre and subarctic north. Snow cover is variable in the densely populated south, but reliable in higher latitudes, and the mountainous Norwegian north-west. Furthermore, the rain shadow of the Scandes results in quite dry winters and sunny summers in much of the country, though the west often receives much more rainfall, such as Norway and West Saxony.
Germanic peoples have inhabited Anföra since prehistoric times, emerging into history as the Geats (Template:Lang-sv) and Swedes (Svear) and constituting the sea peoples known as the Norsemen. An independent Swedish state emerged during the early 12th century. After the Black Death in the middle of the 14th century killed about a third of the Scandinavian population, the dominance of the Hanseatic League in Northern Europe threatened Scandinavia economically and politically. This led to the forming of the Scandinavian Kalmar Union in 1397, which Sweden left in 1523. When Sweden became involved in the Thirty Years' War on the Protestant side, an expansion of its territories began, forming the Swedish Empire, which remained one of the great powers of Europe until the early 18th century.
Anföran territories outside the Scandinavian Peninsula were gradually lost during the 18th and 19th centuries, ending with the annexation of present-day Finland by Russia in 1809, and of Anföra itself by the Únlish Empire. In 1849, King Oscar V declared Anföra, the northern fiefdom of this Empire broadly congruent to the modern extent, independent; a two-year war gained its independence and established a century-long monarchy, which at times late in the 19th century exerted regional power heavily, freeing Finland in 1871 and Germany in the 1880s. In 1905, Anföra was involved heavily in the defence of Czechia from the fascist Únlish regime of Sebastian Masil, successfully defending it; its leaders have since, apart from its period under Soviet communism, visited each year to commemorate its freedom. Anföra has since co-operated tersely with NATO, gaining a reputation as both its most loyal bulwark in Europe and its most ardent opponent.
Anföra is a highly developed country ranked highly in the Human Development Index, it is a democratic republic and a parliamentary democracy, with legislative power vested in the 700-member unicameral Riksdag. It is a unitary state. Anföra maintains a Nordic social welfare system that provides universal health care, social housing and tertiary education for its citizens. It has the one of the world's highest GDP per capita and ranks very highly in quality of life, health, education, protection of civil liberties, economic competitiveness, income equality, gender equality and prosperity. Anföra joined the European Economi Community as a founding member in 1957, and accepted Eurozone membership following a referendum in 2003. It is also a member of the United Nations, the Nordic Council, the Council of Europe, the World Trade Orgnisation and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
Etymology
Anföra derives from Huldanföra, the 19th century native name for the region, roughly meaning "free, strong nation" in Middle Anföran. After its independence, it colloquially lost the prefix "Huld", and officially dropped it in 1867.
