Re: Modern government (GURPS terms)
In Sweden we got a professional bureaucracy in the early 17th century, when Axel Oxenstierna and Gustavus Adolfus reformed the state and the army top to bottom. It was that modernization of the state that allowed Sweden to dominate Northern Europa in the 17th century.
