Just for reference, neither of these countries is large in the populatiion sense.  Sweden has just over 10 Million, and Finalnd has just over 5.5 Million.  Together, they have fewer citizens than New York state ... by a lot!

This is an impressive amount of data. I will concede, I may have under-estimated them a bit, but America's entrepreneurial tradition is still on a whole other level. Millions of the most ambitious immigrants have traveled to our shores for hundreds of years just to get in on the action.
