Stockholm (help·info) (Swedish pronunciation: ['st?k??lm]) is the capital and largest city of Sweden. It is the site of the national Swedish government, the Riksdag (parliament), and the official residence of the Swedish monarch as well as the prime minister. The Monarch resides at Drottningholm Palace outside of Stockholm since 1980 and uses the Royal Palace of Stockholm as his workplace and official residence. As of 2008 the Stockholm metropolitan area is home to approximately 21% of Sweden's population and contributes to 35% of Sweden's gross domestic product^{[citation needed]}. Stockholm is the most populous city in Sweden with a population of 818,603 in the municipality (2009), 1.25 million in the urban area (2005), and 2 million in the metropolitan area (2009).

Stockholm has been the cultural, media, political, and economic centre of Sweden since the 13th century. Its strategic location on 14 islands on the south-central east coast of Sweden at the mouth of Lake Mälaren, by the Stockholm archipelago, has been historically important.
