We have permanent bases in over 130 countries right now. How many does Sweden have?

1 - Having military bases isn't the same as having an empire.

2 - en.wikipedia.org and before that you have the Vikings (not that they where just from Sweden, but you had raids and conquests from Sweden as well)

3 - Why I wouldn't say we are the least imperialistic country ever, we have to rank very low on the imperialism scale for countries with our relative power.
