Territories held in personal union have been removed just now. However, Trøndelag will remain here due to its short-lived control between by Sweden 1658 and 1660.

15/15. Nominated, and great maps as always @Dekkie. Luckily I remembered in time that France holds many of the Lesser Antilles.

Fun quiz! I vaguely remember hearing about Sweden holding some colonies in Africa, but I hadn't expect them to also be in Asia and the Americas. A nice challenge to recognize the location of the regions shown, too.

In 1814, Sweden won a war against Norway and they stayed united for a century. In 1905, Norway became independent from Sweden.

Why isn't it counted as Swedish control ?

Because it was a personal union, which is not counted per caveat.
