I find Sweden interesting because it is the perfect example of a bunch of highly intelligent people being corrupted over the course of several generations. Sweden practiced forms of eugenics and compulsory sterilization for most of the 20th century. The end result has been ironically similar to what happens in overly genetically homogenous wealthy families (a.k.a. rich inbreds). The intelligentsia, which I would argue is majority of Swedes, have become emotionally and pragmatically crippled. They have almost no Mars energy: they are divided of will, listless, and unwilling to deal with the consequences of their actions. They are infected with venereal excess: rampant materialism, elite snobs clinging to creature comforts ignoring the starving peasants shouting at the gates.
