Sweden - A Country in Europe
• The world is huge. An ordinary aeroplane would need 50 hours to fly around the world.
• Europe isn't so big. It would take just a few hours to fly to any city in Europe (where there are non-stop flights).
• Russia is larger than all the other counties of Europe combined. More than 140 million people live there.
• The Vatican City State is the smallest. It takes 45 minutes to walk around it. Mr F knows because his son walked around it!
• Many people travel between countries in Europe, or move.
• Much is familiar, but other things are different than they are in Sweden.
EU
• Sweden is one of the 27 countries which work together in the European Union.
• The most important countries are: 
Germany & 
France.
• Before there was an EU it was harder to study in other countries. It was also harder to travel there to work.
• Most EU countries use the Euro 
. Having the same money & the same rules has made it easier to buy & sell.
• The EU deals with things that effect many EU countries: finances, refugees, the environment, crime. Most of the city of Stockholm's official decisions (in the city council) are effected by the EU. The same is true for Swedish laws.
