The Tiger cartoon was a symbol of a campaign used during WWII in Sweden, it was Swedens version of Loose lips sinks ships, the name of the symbol and the campaign was "En Svensk TIger" and uses the fact that the Swedish word for the animal Tiger is spelled and actually pronounced exactly the same as for the word that means "Keeps quiet" or "Keeps his mouth shut."..Yeah, we had a pun to make our people not disclose sensitive information during WWII...
Hello, @Stakuyi, I am honestly incredibly surprised to see you out of all people playing the focus tree that I made and I have to say it was incredibly fun to watch you progress through the game. I've seen quite a few of your UA-cam Shorts and to have someone like yourself play the tree that I designed and made makes me really happy.
From the frozen North, they came Fought for founding father's claim It was then, their tale began Trace their roots from sixteen strong By their King where they belong En tid, Av Krig Wherever he goes Near or far, they are close For the King of Sweden, they lay down their lives For the Swedish crown, they stand By their King at his command Five hundred years, for the fatherland Marching across the belt
When I tried to play Sweden for the first time, I played as monarchist Sweden aswell. But when I invaded finland the soviets decided to send tanks to Finland (How am I supposed to fight the soviet tanks?!), then invade them on their own and after they took their claims, they invited the fins into their faction and destroyed me xD
10:59 Not only was he French, he had several tattoos as was/is common for soldiers, including a tattoo on his chest that allegedly said "Death to Kings". Bernadotte was a rather colorful man to say the least. And fate it seems has a great sense of irony.

Imagine how powerful Scandinavia would have been in history if they were United because Denmark and Sweden spent most of their time fighting at other for centuries they could have made it a very powerful Empire
Scandinavia (If we included Finland and the entire Baltics in it to be generous) Would have a population of 33.1 million in the modern day, less than Canada and over 2x less than Germany (88.5m). Their GDP would be $1.694 trillion. For comparison, the UK's GDP is 2.8 trillion, Frances is 2.7t, Italy 2t, and Germany 3.8 trillion. It's a fun idea, but in reality a united Scandinavia would only be a regional power, and the weakest one by far at that, rather than a superpower or empire. Their geography doesn't allow the kind of population that an empire or major power needs. Keep in mind I used ChatGPT for this info, so the data is 2 years out of date and the difference might be even worse.
@@uckbritley1305 The nordics including all the baltics would have a combined gdp of 2 trillion dollars. Norway also has a pretty hefty oil reserve. Combined the nordics would be a very strong power, perhaps not rivaling giants like the US and China but still a major power. Another thing to take into consideration is that the nordics are some of the happiest, most well developed and most democratic countries (i'm a Swede) so even if our combined population isn't that high it would be, in my opinion the best country on earth to live in by most metrics, with hopefully a bright future ahead of us :)
@@uckbritley1305 Also as dominicadrean2160 said, imagine how strong the nordics would have been if they combined hundreds of years ago, something you didn't take into consideration. Probably with a much higher population and gdp, maybe even a higher GDP then France perhaps, who knows!
Karl XIV was also an incredibly interesting figure. I’d recommend looking it up. But basically an officer, republican, non noble becomes king on a whim and pays off the entire state debt from his personal wealth, stabbed napoleon in the back and yoinked Norway.
Jean Baptiste Jules Bernadotte did not just change his name to Karl XIV, but to Karl XIV Johan, after the "Karl Johan"-mushroom, which he reportedly liked the taste of.
6:46 that is not Gustav VI Adolf's picture. That is the picture of his son Prince Gustav Adolf that would have been the 7th if he didn't die in a airplane crash.
The tactic of the caroleans (karolinerna) called Gå på was just as much about the number of soldiers. Sweden did not have the manpower or the money for mercenaries to have drawn out fire fights. A battle had to be won quickly and the shock of bayonets, sabers and pikes (yes, the swedish army used alot of pikes) would do this. However if the enemy absorbed the shock it left the army exposed.
In Thorvald Stauning's defends for negleting the army. He talked the danish king out of not become another dictator and stopped the danish people from going communist, afterward his party build the foundation of the danish welfardstate
You know youre history but id like to add that we traded with the allies just as much, in fact even more as the war went on. (Mmm money) We had a super high quality of steel product like bearings and it was almost vital for air production, and tanks in for the allies.
Yeah, so RT56 France loses the Disjointed Government modifier when they create The Continental System faction, so there was no risk of them collapsing if they lost Paris. Still worth it to see Stak freaking out about the possibility :P
Fancy new openings, nice. Also am I crazy or did stak do this path previously in the 'swedish empire returns' episode? He manages to make each video look like it's a fresh play through so I have to check :P Oh...this time he's going for artic states...oh boy.
Ya know your war against germany is basically the exact same strategy I used as a Hagakure Democratic Japan, at first I just was holding manchuria back on the korean penesula... then when the Soviets entered the war I wanted to make sure I'd get enough warscore... Then I ended up dragging America with me into the Italian Confederation (which Italy wasn't part of) and I invaded Germany through the netherlands, before moving up to hold them off at Pomeria, until the soviets started pushing...
Since you're going to Stockholm soon: I might live in Knifetown a fair bit north of it but I will highly recommend you try to eat at Ai Ramen in Stockholm. It's pretty central, a really cute little restaurant and 100% the best noodles in the region for a really fair price. "Spicy miso" is my favorite. Hope you have a fun time visiting our country 💙💛💙💙 💛💛💛💛 💙💛💙💙
Sweden : _notorious for staying neutral during WW2_
Stakuyi : hold my meatballs
that sounds wrong
Theres a joke for gabby to use on stack somewhere there 😂

I'm Swedish, and you just taught me something new
That's pretty metal actually.
That intro is realy cool! Good work whoever made it!
Yes it looks great 👍
It’s sorta cool but intros are bad for viewer retention

You, mate are a certified legend, and we all thank you for all the work you've put in to create such an amazing focus tree.
One love ❤️
Are you also the one who put in references to the TV show "Riket" when invading Denmark?
Because that was hilarious. 😄
From the frozen North, they came
Fought for founding father's claim
It was then, their tale began
Trace their roots from sixteen strong
By their King where they belong
En tid, Av Krig
Wherever he goes
Near or far, they are close
For the King of Sweden, they lay down their lives
For the Swedish crown, they stand
By their King at his command
Five hundred years, for the fatherland
Marching across the belt
Which song is that
@@jaredjosephsongheng372It's a Song from Sabaton

As a Sabaton fan myself.
WHICH ONE!?
Should be livgardet or royal guard

the irony of the soviets helping finland against a swedish invasion is funny.
Loving the new intro king, thanks for the content 💪
me too its so good
A time of religion and war legends tell the tale of a lion
This beast in the shape of a man with a dream to rule sea and land...

Playing Sweden in Hoi4: The Sabaton T-Shirt is a nice touch man.
Awesome intro Stak! Also I love seeing these wacky formables like the Imperial State of Jan Mayen, please do more just goofy empires XD
Good detail wearing a Sabaton shirt while playing Sweden.
You should honestly try the Empire mod as it take place in 1699 when Sweden was powerful.
See the Caroleans standing tall, conqueror lands and slaughter all...
Stakuyi: *Makes the IMPERIAL STATES OF JAN MAYEN*
Spiff: *Proud noises*
Every Stakuyi HOI IV video: This seems to be going well
3 secs later in each video: Oh shit we're out of Manpower
I thought I was having a stroke around 7:31
Cant recist
All embrace me
It's my time to rule at last
Fifteen years have I been waiting
To sit upon my throne
No allegiance
I will swear no oath
Crowned by god not by the church
As my power is divine
Episode 31 of asking Stakuyi to play Equestria at War as Equestria again, but with “Twilight Theory” turned on in custom game rules.
Neat intro.

What a cool intro

DAMMMMMM we got an intro it looks great
Jean Baptiste Jules Bernadotte did not just change his name to Karl XIV, but to Karl XIV Johan, after the "Karl Johan"-mushroom, which he reportedly liked the taste of.
New intro, cool! (also maybe try Denmark in rt56) Edit: In vanilla you do get two puppets in the Italian Civil War

*starts Sabaton* NORDEN JAG HÄRSKAR! MITT NAMN SPRIDER SKRÄCK! (It's from the album Carolus Rex that got both a Swedish and english album)

Sweden is neutral cus its to powerful
You mean the Detroit Lions cause they just won their division for the first time in 30 years.

I love Sabaton (Look at his shirt)
*Lejonet Från Norden Intensifies*

That is one great intro for a great channel
Objective for Denmark: survive the Germans for more than 6 hours.
I'd like him to play Brazil, since all paths but monarchist brazil are historically plausible without even changing presidents
I LOVE THE INTRO
So cool Stak
I honestly wish you got more views. You make really good content
Bro the intro is so nicee
Nice intro it fits perfectly
Nice intro Stakuyi, keep up the work.
Fancy new openings, nice.
Also am I crazy or did stak do this path previously in the 'swedish empire returns' episode? He manages to make each video look like it's a fresh play through so I have to check :P
Oh...this time he's going for artic states...oh boy.
There is a dedicated mod for Sweden, I highly recommend playing it

Very Sweet Intro!
Playing as Sweden with a Sabaton shirt on - I see what you did there.
Nice new intro!
Caroleans was more of a system than unit.
Ya know your war against germany is basically the exact same strategy I used as a Hagakure Democratic Japan, at first I just was holding manchuria back on the korean penesula... then when the Soviets entered the war I wanted to make sure I'd get enough warscore...

Episode 3 of asking stakuyi to play as germany in kaisserredux
I just realized Stak has a Sabaton shirt, common w if you ask me
Your the best UA-camr
Can you reply pls
Doing a video as Sweden while wearing a Sabaton Shirt. If music on UA-cam wasn’t copyrighted you should have played Carolus Rex
Love the intro
Start a Eu4 in 1492 - get to 1600s fast, do 1700-til the end in a part 2, try to beat the post-1821 game
For 1800 years, Sweden exported War, Religious Fanaticism and Death. Then we stopped, and now people who just don't get it make memes about it.
LONG LIVE CAROLUS REX SABATON😅😅😅
Sweden was one of the few nations I played in hoi4 road 56
I vote base game Finland, just because they have SOME unique potential already
MY BOI GOT A INTRO!
I see what you did there mr. shirt man.
Thats a really nice new intro!
Also, please do a hoi4 tanya the evil redux mod playthrough
Love the intro!
Loving the Sabaton shirt
the way you pronounced Staunning (Re: beard) wasn't that far off how it's actually pronounced - well done
No way he has a intro now
The Starks in the north 😅
And all those who stand in his way die by God and victorious arms.
AINT NO WAY LEWA WAS PLAYIN HOI4
