Privy Council of Sweden
The Swedish Senate: Riksrådet, from 1809 Statsrådet, from 1975 "Regeringen" was and is the principal government institution of Sweden.
Modern Sweden
Following the change of policies upon the death of Gustavus Adolphus in action at Lützen in 1632, the 1634 Constitution of Chancellor Axel Oxenstierna laid the foundation for the administration of modern Sweden. For instance, the subdivision into Län Counties is a legacy from this time.
