The lands of Sweden are three traditional parts, essentially three collectives of provinces, in Sweden. These "lands" have no administrative function, and there is no official designation for this subdivision level. Most commonly they are called "''landsdelar''", which simply translates to "parts of the country". ==Subdivision== * Götaland (''Gothenland'' or ''Gothia'', "Land of the Götar") is the southern, most densely populated part, consisting of ten provinces. * Svealand (''Swealand'', "Land of the Swedes") is the central part, named after the historic Sweden proper, which is the smallest of the three parts with six provinces; the capital and administrative centre of Sweden has been situated here at least since the late Middle Ages. * Norrland (literally "Northlands") is the northern part, which is the largest of the three parts, covering 60 percent of the total Swedish territory with nine provinces. The three northernmost provinces are sometimes called Övre (''Upper'') Norrland while the rest of the provinces are then called Nedre (''Lower'') Norrland. Although they have no administrative functions and no coats of arms these three subdivisions are used in weather reports. Their boundaries can therefore be seen on weather maps on television and in the press.
