Sweden

It’s a fascinating paradox that a military power during the 17th century, Sweden has remained averse to joining any war for the last two centuries while preserving neutrality in both World Wars. "The Swedish model”, an example of mixed economy encompassing Public-private partnership, is responsible for its sound economy though high unemployment was evident in 1990s. However fiscal discipline over the past many years has again put the country on the path to recovery. The country became a member of the EU in 1995. However the euro could not be introduced in the country thanks to the rejection of its introduction in a 2003 referendum.
