"On 4 November 1814, the kingdoms of Sweden and Norway formed a personal union under one king. The two countries had completely separate institutions, except for the foreign service led by the king through the Swedish foreign minister."
So the Swedes handled foreign affairs, and the capital was Stockholm. To me this says it's Swedish.
The US is similar. We're a union of "States" which are pretty much their own countries. Each state is ran by their own governments, have their own laws, even had their own currency at one point. Foreign affairs are handled by the Federal government. Thus why we're sometimes referred to as Washington. Being a Floridian, and having nothing but disdain for both Washingtons (the State and DC) I don't mind USA being refered to as Washington.
That's my argument for calling it Kingdom of Sweden instead of "United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway"
But yea...
(Will probably just change it to Sweden-Norway)
