Sweden is traditionally divided into three major “lands”, from north to south; Norrland, Svealand and Götaland. Each name of the parts ends with “land”, thereof “lands”. The counties of Sweden (Swedish: Sveriges län, pronounced [ˈsvæ̂rjɛs lɛːn]) are the first-level administrative subdivisions of Sweden. Each county is overseen by a county administrative board (länsstyrelse) representing the national government and a county council (region) handling regional matters like healthcare. Regions of Sweden: Blekinge, Dalarna, Gotland, Gävleborg, Halland, Jämtland, Jönköping, Kalmar, Kronoberg, Norrbotten, Skåne, Stockholm, Södermanland, Uppsala, Värmland, Västerbotten, Västernorrland, Västmanland, Västra Götaland, Örebro. The regions of Sweden are 21 self-governing administrative entities responsible for providing essential public services, including healthcare, dental care, and regional public transportation, across areas that geographically correspond to the country's counties (län). There is also a historical division into 25 landskap (provinces, regions, or historical counties) that have no administrative importance, but rather cultural ones.
