Even if I think no one gives a damn about this small country in the north, I thought I'd made a similar thread to the "Where's Australia). 
Although we don't have a huge motorsport history, I think there is enough to make some of it worthy of being included in GT5, and we have three car makes you know (Volvo, Saab and Koenigsegg).
GT4 included only two Volvos, and they were highly questionable choices of Volvos if you ask me. An ordinary 240 GLT instead of the legendary Turbo version, and a S60 T5 instead of the S60 R.
They should include cars such as the stock Volvo 240 Turbo as well as the Volvo 240 Turbo Group-A race car. The 240 Group-A won both DTM and ETC in 1985.

Other Volvo classics would be the 850 race car (both wagon and saloon version) and the S40 race car, which won the 1998 BTCC with Rickard Rydell behind the steering wheel.

Another notable swedish creation would be the Saab 9-3 Viggen Pikes Peak rally car. 2.0 litre Saab engine with 750 bhp and four wheel drive. Driven by Per Eklund, it won the Unlimited Class in the 80th running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in 2002.

As for tracks, we have the Scandinavian Raceway in Anderstorp which was a GP track back in the 70's and then we have the not fully finished Gotland Ring on the island of Gotland, which hopefully will become a future GP track. Then a few more, included in the STCC (Swedish Touring Car Championship), such as Mantorp Park, Ring Knutstorp, Falkenberg, Karlskoga and Göteborg City Race Course. And now when we have WRC license, we could perhaps see some winter rally stages in the woods of Värmland?

And like you said, I hope there are a lot new countries add. If they can add NASCAR, they should add the V8 supercars, the American LeMans series and other races too.
