One Year Alone in Forest of Sweden Building a Log Cabin

Citizenship after 5 years is far from automatic, and living north of the Arctic circle doesn't help your case I'm afraid... But on the other hand, if you sustain yourself chances are you can live your whole life there without anyone noticing.

Although depending how good you really are at the "sustain yourself" bit, you might find that "your whole life" isn't all that long.

Reminds me of Pratchett: “Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.”

I've been there. There definitely would be people noticing unless you went far away from the roads. There aren't a whole lot of people living there but they're there and they are quite aware of what is going on.

Been where? There are definitely places in Sweden where you can spend years without being seen. The population density in Upper Norrland is 3 people per square km...

Quite a bit north of the arctic circle, moving from Finland to Sweden and then back down again.
