Coonties o Swaden

The Coonties o Swaden (Swadish: län) are the first level admeenistrative an poleetical subdiveesions o Swaden. Swaden is dividit intae 21 coonties. The coonties wur established in 1634 on Coont Axel Oxenstierna's initiative, supersedin the historical provinces o Swaden (Swadish: landskap) tae introduce a modren admeenistration. At that time, they wur what the translation o län intae Inglis literally means; fiefdoms.

There are controversial proposals tae divide Swaden intae lairger regions, replacin the current counties.
