A County, or Län, is an administrative and political subdivision of Sweden. Sweden is divided into 21 counties, and in each county there is a County Administrative Board as well as a County Council. The County Administrative Board, or Länsstyrelse, is appointed by the Government to coordinate administration with national political goals for the County. The County Council on the other hand is a regional government, i.e. a political assembly appointed by the electorate to deliberate on the "municipal" affairs of the County, primarily regarding the public health care system.
List of counties
Each county is further divided into a total of 289 Municipalities or Kommuner (2002).
- Blekinge County
- Dalarna County
- Gotland County
- Gävleborg County
- Halland County
- Jämtland County
- Jönköping County
- Kalmar County
- Kronoberg County
- Norrbotten County
- Skåne County
- Stockholm County
- Södermanland County
- Uppsala County
- Värmland County
- Västerbotten County
- Västernorrland County
- Västmanland County
- Västra Götaland County
- Örebro County
- Östergötland County
Establishment
The Counties were established in 1634 on count Axel Oxenstierna's initiative, superseding the Provinces of Sweden to introduce a modern administration. The most significant change to the county system took place when Sweden, after the Finnish War, was forced to cede the Eastern counties to Russia in the Treaty of Fredrikshamn (1809). Despite this the county reform survived in Finland until 1997 and is still in force in Sweden today.Abolished counties include Gothenburg and Bohus County, Skaraborg County, Älvsborg County, Malmöhus County, Kristianstad County, Norrland County, Härnösand County, Hudiksvall County and Öland County.
Historical subdivisions
The Provinces of Sweden, or Landskap, and the Lands of Sweden, or Landsdelar, lack political importance today but are culturally of great significance. The division into the lands of Götaland, Svealand and Norrland is commonly used as a geographical reference.

A Feederliner is a small short-range airliner that is intended to fly passengers from smaller airports to larger ones, thereby "feeding" the larger hubs with passengers. Feederliners are typically flown by the regional airline offshoots of the larger international airlines. They are also called regionals and since the move to jet engines on these routes, regional jets has become the most common name.Since the majority of the price of a ticket is in the longer-range portions of the flight, regional jets need to be as cost-effective as possible. An aircraft's lifetime cost is a combination of three factors, the purchase price, maintenance costs, and operational costs such as fuel use. If the regional jet's ticket between two smaller airports costs even close to that between two major hubs, the passengers will simply drive instead.
In the early days of the hub-and-spoke model of airline operations in the emmediate post-WWII era, a huge number of war-surplus DC-3's were available at very low costs, so while a number of designs with much better operational costs were available, it wasn't until the mid to late 1950s that airlines were looking for newer aircraft. At this point many of these DC-3's were becoming too expensive too expensive to maintain for passenger use. Many of these were passed on to freight operations while a series of turboprop aircraft took over their market, the Vickers Viscount being one particularily successful example.
This cycle repeated itself in the 1980s when this earlier generation of aircraft was itself becoming too expensive to maintain. deHavilland Canada was in a particularily good position at this point, having just introduced a new aircraft with very low operational costs, the deHavilland DASH-8, which soon took over a good portion of the market. Competition in the form of the ATR-42 and ATR-72 from the Avion de Transport Régional consortium, and the Saab 340 were introduced as well, resulting in the market saturating in a very short time once the earlier designs were replaced. Today only the DASH-8 continues in production, albiet a much larger version.
The latest generation of feederliners are jet designs, a market that was created with the Canadair Regional Jet (CRJ) (CL_600) in the early 1990s and quickly started replacing almost all other designs. The CRJ's range is enough to fill mid-range routes as well, routes previously served by larger aircraft such as the Boeing 737 and DC-9. The aircraft are so inexpensive to operate that they are increasingly being used for direct airport-to-airtport flights, bypassing the whole hub-and-spoke design entirely, and causing a minor revolution in airline operations. The CRJ was quickly joined by the Embraer ERJ and the two designs have since been in competition, with some highly charged political wrangling as a result. A third design from a consortium of Sukhoi, Ilyushin, and Boeing never materialized, and a Fokker-ERNO design ended when Fokker went bankrupt before the design was finallized.

Regional planning is the part of architecture planning the countryside, in particular, it selects the land for the parts of human society.There are some rules of thumb.
Large areas are known to need cropland, cities, industry, transportation hubs, military bases, navigatoinal aids, and wilderness. The trick is to get the greatest value of assets over time.
First, don't build on flood plains or earthquake faults. These are best kept for parks, or perhaps unimproved farmland. In any case, limit capital improvements. Some of the most beautiful cities, such as San Antonio, use this principle.
Build on hills and ridges. This keeps buildings off flood-plains, and away from filth borne on water and insects. It also reserves the fertile flatlands for farmland and assures cooler homes in summer and warmer, solar-heated ones in winter.
Build transportation corridors first, and make them form hubs and spokes. Development will follow. Since we want cities on hills and ridges, then hubs should be atop of hills, and roads should follow ridgelines.
Standardize on a simple, flexible transportation system like busses, and then make it as efficient as possible, with innovations to get passengers on and off quickly.
Make the administrative and transportation hubs the same places. In that way, the networks for administration can use the same capital improvements as the transportation networks. This means hubs will be atop hills.
In general, plant so as to produce the greatest value with the least work. That is, if orchards give the best return per man-hour, plant them.
Designate locations for nuisances. Then assure that all nearby persons contract to let nuisances be built there.
In general, every square mile should be self-sufficient in food, water, transportation, communication and fuel, well-enough to prevent starvation, dehydration and freezing. Buildings can have solar heat, solar cells, wind-power, cisterns, and vegetable gardens in roofs, if it's a priority.
Let every area serve also as wilderness. Provide incentives and space for wildllife migration grids and greenbelts. Grow meadows on roofs, roads and parking lots. Place nesting sites on buildings. Use ponds for air-conditioning heat-sinks, storm swales, and riparian wildlife.
Make every area serve several purposes. For example, let parks consist of gardens, unbuildable zones, and edible plants, harvested to market.
Avoid social institutions that stratify a region by income. For example, encourage school vouchers so that rich people don't have to pick schools by buying houses.
When designing cities, set up a cellular structure that combines housing, parks, crops, greenbelt, drainage swales, throughways, local streets, parking and shops. Repeat the cells, and include mildly different road furniture and a distinct ornament or shop at each gate or crossroad.
Consider building codes that make best use of the land.
Consider building codes that make a building more defensible in war-time.

The region is currently the highest level of local government in England. The present policy of the UK Government is to increase the power of government at the regional level, as part of the "devolution" that led to elected assemblies in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, and part of the concept of regions in the EU. Critics claim that the English regions are largely artificial; and are largely based on those devised by the UK government in the Second World War for coordinating civil defence in England.Some people in the Northern regions, (North East England, North West England, and Yorkshire and the Humber) have expressed interest in having elected assemblies, and the Labour Government plans to hold referenda there in the near future. Elected assemblies are to be introduced in each region if desired by the population of the region in question.
However, there is also opposition to the introduction of such assemblies. Opponents of regionalism argue that instead of decentralising power from London, the new tier of government will simply take power away from county councils, and that the assemblies will be far weaker than those in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
There are nine regions, each with a government office and a few associated institutions, including a Regional Development Agency (RDA), known by different names in different regions, such as ONE North East, Yorkshire Forward, Advantage West Midlands, and EMDA (East Midlands Development Agency). Greater London is a special case because it has an elected mayor and is governed by the London Assembly.
These are sometimes known as 'Government Office Regions' from an earlier administrative division, though they are also used for elections to the European Parliament. Before that, there were eight 'Standard Statistical Regions':
- North East England
- North West England
- Yorkshire and the Humber
- West Midlands
- East Midlands -
- East of England
- South West England
- Greater London
- South East England
- North - current North East plus Cumbria
- North West - current North West less Cumbria
- Yorkshire and Humberside - as now
- West Midlands - as now
- East Midlands - as now
- East Anglia - Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire
- South West - as now
- South East - as now, plus Greater London, Bedfordshire, Essex, and Hertfordshire
