The political dis- turbances which have given him much trouble and anxiety have arisen from the restlessness of Norway under the Union of 1814. Sweden ranks among the largest European countries, her area being 172,000 square miles, while that of Germany is 208,000 and that of France 204,000. But her population is only 5,000,000, and not for a long time is the country likely to be densely settled. Nearly half of it is covered with for- ests, and some of its fertile plains are too far north to be... suc- cessfully tilled. A considerable portion of the soil, moreover, is not richly productive. Agriculture, dairying, timber- raising, and mining are the chief occupations of the people. Financially, the kingdom is prosperous, its debt being but $80,000,000. It supports a standing army of about 30,000 men and has an inconsiderable navy. Norway No Gustavus Vasa appeared in Norway to deliver her from the rule of Denmark; and, with the exception of a brief period of independence in the middle of the fifteenth century, she remained a subject province for over four hundred years.
