Sweden is not only the first country in the world with its own telephone number. With the project The Swedish Number it marks 250th anniversary of the law banning censorship, which was ubiquitous at the time. With this, the Scandinavian country plowed the fallow ground, as it was the first in the world to allow freedom of expression (the right to freedom of the press was entered into the Swedish Royal Decree on Freedom of the Press). Despite this, or precisely because of this, the topic of conversation is not only Sweden, a complete stranger is ready to talk to you about anything.
