Same here. Sweden is assumed. It probably shouldn't be an answer.

We used to have a Caribbean island called St. Bartholomew. But strangely I can't find it on Wikipedia...

Yeah, it was given to Sweden in 1784 and then sold back to France in 1878.

I didn't forget it. I just thought, given the wording of the instructions, that it wouldn't be necessary.

"Once held by Sweden"
I'm pretty sure Sweden is the current occupant of Sweden, so it should be one of those quizzes where Sweden is already filled.

I assumed Sweden would be a given seeing as it is the country in question. Seems a bit pedantic asking us to give it as an answer.

Pedantic, really?? It is the most obvious answer. I guess it is an ego thing for people. So many blaming the quiz(master) because they missed an answer they really should have gotten.

It is a bit nitpicky, but the directions say "in which the Sweden controlled any land." It should say either "in which the Swedes controlled," or "in which Sweden controlled."

An astonishing quiz. I had no idea Sweden once spread so far and wide. As for Ghana, how come it's scoring more than about 2%?

With my extra time, it made sense that the next place they would go would be coastal Africa.

99% got norway but 53% got sweden. Intelligence is quite good actually. Countries once held by sweden. Sweden still owns sweden. You could change it to exclude sweden.
