RIKSDAG

'''Riksdag''' is a Swedish word commonly used as an alternative term for parliament (). It is used as the official term for the 'parliament of Sweden' and the 'parliament of Finland' (in Finland alongside the Finnish word ''eduskunta'').
The word ''riksdag'' literally means "national day" (''riks'' - "national", and ''dag'' - "day"), and refers to a meeting of representatives from across Sweden. The word has been used in Sweden since the Middle Ages. The word has a direct equivalent in the German word ''reichstag'' (used for various German national parliaments up until 1945), the Danish ''rigsdag'' (used for the parliament of Denmark 1849-1953) and the Estonian ''riigikogu'' (used for the parliament of Estonia 1920-1940 and again since 1991).
