I'm happy to see this timeline alive again. It was a long time since I read it, and lately I find that I have a hard time finding the time and mood for reading updates on timelines in general. That being said, I will try to find time to re-read this timeline, which I remember as engaging and...
If I remember correctly Sweden started with immigration controls around 1900 (possibly 1905) because of an influx of Russians and Eastern Jews. Wartime condition will most likely increase that fear.

Hmm, I'm not too well-versed in Swedish emigration, but as I understand it the loyalty to the Swedish state was quite low in emigrated communities. Many of them emigrated during the famines of the 1860's and would by the time of this war been quite embedded in a republican culture with low...
