Government: King Carl XVI Gustav is the ceremonial head of Sweden's
constitutional monarchy. Elected every four years, the 349-member
Swedish Parliament (Riksdag) is currently led by Prime Minister Fre-
drik Reinfeldt of the conservative Moderate Party (elected in October
2006). The Economist magazine—which considered factors such as
participation, impact of people on their government, and transparen-
cy—ranked Sweden by far the world's most democratic country (fol-
lowed by the other Scandinavian countries and the Netherlands, with
North Korea coming in last.)
