<p>Map of <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Sweden" class="mw-redirect" title="Sweden">Sweden</a>, extended from CIA World Fact Book, showing largest cities, islands and lake names.  Larger city names (10) have been labeled with font-face Arial or Arial Narrow, as font-size 9 or 10; the island/region names are labeled in italic font.  Sweden contains over 200 towns, but they are evenly dispersed around the main southern towns, except near <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copenhagen" class="extiw" title="en:Copenhagen">Copenhagen</a>, which has very high density.
</p><p>This map has locator code "SwedenCIAx" for use in map-locator templates, such as English Wiki <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Location_map_SwedenCIAx" class="extiw" title="en:Template:Location map SwedenCIAx">Template:Location_map_SwedenCIAx</a> &amp; <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Location_map_skew" class="extiw" title="en:Template:Location map skew">Template:Location_map_skew</a> (which skews northern coordinates for multiple map markers/labels).
</p><p>The latitude/longitude coordinates are not <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/equirectangular" class="extiw" title="en:equirectangular">equirectangular</a>, but rather, narrow at the north, with longitudes about 38% closer together at the top.  The narrowing longitudes provide more accurate mapping of area and distance than with rectangular coordinates.
