PACIFIC RIM-UPRISING(2018), the sequel to 2013's "Pacific Rim", is about to release to Ultra 4k and Blu Ray. In these movies, 250 foot tall robots defend Earth from an assault of other worldly giant monsters(kaiju). -Lee "Packmule" Merritt site founder |

You'd be surprised at how little would actually do that. Swedes in general are among the happiest and most satisfied peoples in the world, right up there with the Finnish. Whether we agree or not, Scandinavia is among the world's happiest places. |

There's the stereotype pretty, blonde, stupid girl, but none other I can think of. The reason that stereotype exists is because many such women marry celebrities to get rich, and thus become famous. |

Hard to determine. We're not exactly proud of our actions (That is, inactions) during WWII, or the defeat against Russia long ago that lost us Finland.. or the near-disastrous union with Norway. |

Many typical urban legends (Biker's bells, alien abductions, various conspiracy theories) appear in various forms. There's also the cryptid "Storsjöodjuret" I've already mentioned on this site, a rumored monster in the lake Storsjön. |

We use them for electricity. Nearly half of Sweden's electricity come from nuclear power. |

They are very separated. The Christian Democrats aren't too pleased, but they are one of the lesser powerful parties. |

Yes, it does, although anything that can ID you (Passport, driver's license) can substitute for it. |

Kex, I was looking at Sweden's flag the other day and noticed that the yellow part of it forms a cross on the left side of the flag. Is there any significance to this, e.g. religious symbolism, or is it just the design choice of those who decided on it to begin with? |

Oh, I've wondered about that too, especially since the Norwegian, Danish and Finnish (All Scandinavian) flags follow the same theme. |
