This Wikipedia article makes a decent job (as far as I can tell, I am not a historian…) of describing the situation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provinces_of_Sweden <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provinces_of_Sweden> I suppose one could argue that the lands (Götaland, Svealand, Norrland) and provinces shouldn’t really be tagged boundary=administrative, admin_level=*, since they are not, in fact, (present-day) administrative boundaries!
