Överuman/Uman, Swedish Lapland (No. 7)

Lappland has a subarctic climate in its lower areas, whereas a polar variety can be found in Tarfala, where the average high for the warmest month of the year (July) is lower than 10 °C (50 °F) in mean temperatures. The southern parts of the province are significantly milder than the northern, due to the vast geographical differences. However, since Lappland is all made up of inland areas, maritime moderation is less significant than in the counties' coastal areas and in neighbouring Norway, resulting in harsh winters. Southern areas at a lower elevation such as Lycksele also have relatively warm summers. Due to the arctic circle, the northern areas of the province experience midnight sun and a moderate polar night with some civil twilight during opposite sides of the year.

The culture of the Sami people, and the conservative Lutheran Laestadian movement is prominent in the region.

Lake Storuman (No. 6)

The first settlement here had the name Luspen, which has a Sami origin. Its first settler came in 1741 from the village of Knaften. The area was for a long time part of Lycksele parish, but was extracted into Stensele parish in 1822. Stensele was split into two municipalities when Storuman was established in 1936 around the village of Luspen and Stensele in 1937. In 1971 these two municipalities together with Tärna formed the Storuman Municipality.

Storuman grew during the 20th century due to the construction of the railroad Inlandsbanan in 1923. The establishment of hydroelectric power stations along the Ume River in the 1950’s also had an impact on the town. The railroad, even with today’s limited traffic, is still in the center of Storuman.

Princess Adrienne’s duchy is really the smallest?

After the announcement of Princess Adrienne’s duchy last Monday, some articles were saying she got the second smallest duchy/province there is in Sweden. Some people also said it was fitting because, after all, she’s 10th in line to the Swedish throne. But others started complaining and saying it was a shitty one.

So, I got to think. Is there really anything related to that fact? Did all the other kids got duchies accordingly to their succession places?

Let me get one thing straight: it’s not a competition of who gets the bigger ones. The King chose them and his children accepted them. I just looked it out of curiosity to see if this argument holds.

So, first things first. Sweden is actually grouped in three parts: Götaland (South), Svealand (Center), Norrland (North). And in those three parts, there are 25 provinces (landskap) that the King decides to ‘give’ to one of his children or grandchildren when they’re born.

I first wanted to know which counties were in each division. In bold there’s the duchies already in use and in italic ones are those which never had a duke or a duchess. So we got:

- Götaland: Blekinge, Bohuslän, Dalsland, Gotland, Halland, Skåne, Småland, Västergötland, Öland and Östergötland. (5 out of 10 duchies in use).

- Svealand: Dalarna, Närke, Södermanland, Uppland, Värmland, Västmanland. (3 out of 6 duchies in use).

- Norrland: Ångermanland, Gästrikland, Hälsingland, Härjedalen, Jämtland, Lappland, Medelpad, Norrbotten, Västerbotten. (3 out of 9 duchies in use).

So, I searched and searched for the area and population of each province and the numbers differ from a source to another. I’ll get the one that is closest in numbers to all the others I saw. And since Madeleine has two duchies, I won’t separate them. Our numbers are:

If we were to rank them for it’s area (which is what’s causing all this conversation), it’d be something like this:

We can see above that yes, Princess Adrienne got the smallest duchy. But I was surprised to see that neither Crown Princess Victoria or Prince Carl Philip hold the biggest ones, even though Carl Philip was born Crown Prince. His is bigger than Victoria’s, but way smaller than his son’s. I was also bothered that all the girls are so far down. And we can see that there’s no girl holding bigger duchies than boys. They all got big ones.

Now let’s see if we rank them by population how this list would be?

was more pleased to see we’ve got the girls a bit more up in the rank than the previous one. And I can’t deny that the King found a way to give Carl Philip’s sons big duchies either in area (for Gabriel) or in population (for Alexander).

And, back to the topic, Princess Adrienne stays in 10th place if we rank her in the succession line, also in 10th place by the size of her duchy, but then she’s a 7th if we rank her by the population of Blekinge. So, I don’t really think people should be calling it a shitty one. It’s fitting at least. Her sister, who was born 5th in line and now is 8th, wasn’t given a bigger duchy back then. The same can’t be said about their brother, though…

It’s also important to note that I only organized them by the number of area and population and didn’t explore it’s economical influence in Sweden’s economy because that’s way too much to search. But each and every county/province has it’s value and it’s richness in culture.

And now, because I had so much fun doing this, let’s compare the other duchies that are left. This will be easier for guessing when they announce another baby for the family (and yes, I’m hoping for at least two more babies). The one underlined belonged to Prince Bertil and Princess Lilian and I don’t believe it’ll be used anytime soon. The bold one belonged to the King when he was just a Prince.

Organized by area:

Organized by population:

So, I hope you guys enjoy reading this. Because I sure enjoyed myself putting it together.

2nd September 2021 // Crown Princess Victoria visited Västerbotten County following the King’s decision for the family to tour all the counties and learn about the impact of the pandemic.
