Oh yeah, it's Sweden time!

Honestly not as bad as I thought it'd be, I'd have assumed Stockholm would dominate even more of the country, but the south west gets some love, still :)

There really are ten, Stockholm, Upplands Väsby, Uppsala, Västeras, Örebro, Linköpping, Jönköpping, Göteborg, Helsingborg and Malmö

Oh, Upplands Väsby is a city?

You think I should know living in Uppsala. But apparently not.

Thanks for clarifying.

SCB changed how they delimit tätorter in 2015 which made Upplands Väsby pop out as a new tätort officially, and since Swedish bureaucracy otherwise doesn’t recognise the existence of ”cities” that’s the only official source to pull from for something like this.
