I had written a big rant ... but its Friday so /shrug
No ABBA came from Sweden.
And for the record, the Nobel Peace Prize comes from Oslo, Norway, BUT the rest of them come from Stockholm, Sweden, because Alfred Nobel was a Swede, but the links to Norway for Sweden and the Nobel family was always quite big.
