It may be also relevant that (from Wikipedia) it only has 1.2M /10.3M = 12% of the population of Sweden.

Way more than Montana, which has only .3% of the US population, though Norrland and Montana are similar in absolute numbers.

They are also similar in population density. Norrland has 8.6 people per square mile while Montana has 7 per square mile.
