About 15% of Sweden lies north of the Arctic Circle. Southern Sweden is predominantly agricultural, with increasing forest coverage northward. The highest population density is in the Öresund region in southern Sweden, and in the valley of lake Mälaren in central Sweden. Gotland and Öland are Sweden's largest islands; Vänern and Vättern are Sweden's largest lakes.

Accommodation in the investigation or residence centres is not compulsory, and asylum seekers may stay outside the centres, if they have relatives or friends living in Sweden. Currently, about 50% of them are staying outside the centres. The SIV is not responsible for the accommodation of asylum seekers who choose to live outside the centres. However, they have always the option to move to a centre if they wish so.

[A]ssume that everything the Left has to say about Sweden is true. This would only make Sweden the exception which proves the rule. In other words, even if Sweden were heaven on earth, this fails to answer the question of why Cuba, China, North Korea, the USSR, and most of Africa, Latin and Central America, and Asia are much more akin to Hell on earth.

Asylum seekers arriving to Sweden are normally briefly accommodated in an investigation centre before being transferred to a residence centre, where they stay whilst their application is processed. All these centres are run by the SIV itself.
