The Swedish are a leading nation when it comes to diplomacy. They are really the only civilization that gains a hefty amount of from each Great Person gift to city-states, which is more than enough to secure city-state allies! But that's not all - they also receive a Great Person generation boost while declaring friendship with another nation (as does the nation with which they are declaring friendship).
For these reasons, it's advisable that you keep a good relationship with everyone, not just city-states. You should strongly consider adopting Patronage once you have access to that policy tree, and make it a priority to gain as many Great People as you can, whether from s, Declarations of Friendship, or city-state allies (after adopting all the policies in the Patronage tree). Don't forget to give some of your Great People to city-states - each one translates to one new city-state ally! Additionally, you should try to build the Leaning Tower of Pisa as early as possible, which will give you an even greater advantage on the diplomatic front.
Apart from these, the Swedish also have two fascinating unique units which will help them in their war efforts. The Hakkapeliitta, with their expertise in combats with Great Generals, receive a combat bonus if they start a turn stacked with a Great General. What's more, Great Generals also benefit from this stacking, as they become as fast as the Hakkapeliitta in the next turn. Later on, their unique Industrial Era gunpowder unit, the Carolean, is the only military unit in the game that starts with the March promotion, allowing it to heal every turn regardless of whether or not it has performed an action.
