The 25 provinces of Sweden are historical, geographical and cultural regions. They have no administrative function, but retain their own cultural identities, dialects and folklore.
The counties of Sweden are the administrative subdivisions of Sweden. They are not regarded as geographical areas by Swedes as they are not connected to dialects or identity, which is a role fulfilled by the historical provinces of Sweden. Sweden is today divided into 21 counties; however, the number of counties has varied over time, due to territorial gains/losses and to divisions and/or mergers of existing counties. This level of administrative unit was first established in the 1634 Instrument of Government on Lord Chancellor Count Axel Oxenstierna's initiative, and superseded the landskap, in order to introduce a more efficient administration of the realm. At that time, they were what the translation of län into English literally means: fiefdoms. The county borders often follow the provincial borders, but the Crown often chose to make slight relocations to suit its purposes.
The Swedish Army is the land force of the Swedish Armed Forces of the Kingdom of Sweden in Northern Europe / Scandinavia. The army's history dates back to the Swedish War of Liberation in 1521.

Transitio AB is a Swedish limited liability company that is owned by its customers, a mix of different regions and public transport companies in Sweden. Their function is to buy trains and then lease them out to the owners and in so doing reduce the cost of maintenance and ownership. Unlike buses the public transport companies typically need to lease trains, because they have high cost and usually two to three years of delivery time. There is a need to limit cost by reducing the number of train models and procuring larger number of trains per purchase. During the period 1999–2012 Transitio has purchased trains worth 25 billion SEK, mainly from the manufacturers Bombardier and Alstom. From 2015 purchase contracts has to a high degree been signed with Stadler Rail. As of 2017, Transitio owned 145 trains.
