New Sweden (Nya Sverige) didn't even last 20 years before being taken by the Dutch. and then like 15 years later was taken by the English. The Swedes stayed though. That's the small patch in North America, where Philadelphia, southern NJ and Northern Delaware are today. It's also where the first Ikea in the United States was built.
*Nya Sverige
"nja" means "umm" or expresses uncertainty :P
