The yearly moosehunt, this is Sweden remember, is a folk feast heavily regulated by govermental legislation. Each county, every village, down to the very individual landowner gets a statistically based yearly quota on how many moose they have the right to shoot. For the average landowner this counts down to 0.0342 moose. Now how do you shoot 0.0342 moose? The best way is to team up with other hunting neighbors until you reach score one and then hump off to the woods with walkie-talkies and hope that you not shot each other or even worse - more than one moose, a catastrophy that could prevent your hunting rights for decades.

Convention refugees and other categories of persons in need of protection: persons reunified with their family members in Sweden are on the whole covered by the same rules and regulations as recognised refugees. If the spouse, child or parent arrives in Sweden within two years after the first family member moved to a municipality, the municipality will receive the same state grant as for a refugee, i.e. SEK 150,900 [EUR 18,110] for an adult and SEK 90,300 [EUR 10,837] for a child to cover the costs incurred during the integration period (see under "Social Conditions for Refugees").
