I thought Sweden was neutral throughout the war?

TWoS has a bunch of hidden "Free" nations that do not show up in Museum and carry flags of their regular (neutral) counterparts, but are treated as enemy by the game. This way, if you see a neutral flagged ship that is obviously breaking neutrality rules (for example, by sailing in allied convoy or sailing darkened in British waters) you will not be penalized by the game for attacking it.
