Sweden
I learned early on that "Sweden is Neutral"—mainly because of my mom’s “Swedish flag story” from 1945, when she travelled from India to the U.S. by ship. More about the ship—the first diesel-powered transatlantic liner—here, here, and here. (My mom grew up in India as a Missionary Kid.) Video from 2012.
We're big fans of IKEA, so we were there when "Sweden came to Ohio." I've also owned, over the years, three Saabs and four Volvos.
