[[Image:Södermanland County.png|right|200px]]

'''Södermanland County''' ({{langx|sv|Södermanlands län}}, {{IPA|sv|ˈsøːdɛrmanland lɛːn|}}) is a [[Counties of Sweden|county]] or ''[[län]]'' on the southeast coast of [[Sweden]]. In the local Sörmlandic dialects it is virtually universally shortened and pronounced as '''Sörmlands län''', or simply '''Sörmland''', which is the dominant pronunciation and spelling inside the county. For example, the name of the local [[Regional councils of Sweden|regional council]] is ''[[Region Sörmland]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://region.sormland.se/|title=Regionförbundet Sörmland|language=sv|publisher=Regionförbundet Sörmland|access-date=10 November 2018|archive-date=7 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160307165157/https://region.sormland.se/|url-status=dead}}</ref> Södermanland's capital is [[Nyköping]] and the largest settlement is [[Eskilstuna]]. In the sparsely populated interior, [[Katrineholm]] is the largest locality. In total, Södermanland has nine municipalities and about 300,000 inhabitants. 

Södermanland borders the counties of [[Östergötland County|Östergötland]], [[Örebro County|Örebro]], [[Västmanland County|Västmanland]], [[Uppsala County|Uppsala]], [[Stockholm County|Stockholm]] and to the [[Baltic Sea]]. It holds the popular camping route called "Sörmlandsleden" which is a system of trails covering a total of approximately 100 mil (1000&nbsp;km) of walking paths in Södermanland. The county has shorelines on Sweden's third and fourth largest lakes of [[Mälaren]] and [[Hjälmaren]]. There are also numerous large lakes in the [[Nyköpingsån]] river system through the west and centre of the county.

The Region Sörmland is an administrative unit, covering most of the province [[Södermanland]]. The eastern parts of the Södermanland province, largely corresponding to the [[Södertörn]] area, belong to [[Stockholm County]]. As a result of this long-standing divide, only areas inside the county are usually considered as Sörmlandic as opposed to a part of the extended Stockholm metropolitan area.

== Geography and climate ==
Södermanland runs between the lake [[Mälaren]] to the north and the [[Baltic Sea]] to its east and south. There is a large distance between the two main urban areas [[Eskilstuna]] and [[Nyköping]] of roughly {{convert|80|km|mi}}, and vast forested areas in between. The centre of Södermanland is spread out between four municipality seats namely [[Vingåker]], [[Katrineholm]], [[Flen]] and [[Gnesta]] that separate the southern and northern areas of the county. Most parts are low-lying being part of the [[Mälardalen|Mälar]] valley, but some higher areas can be found. The interior of Södermanland has many small rolling hills, courtesy of [[glacial rebound]] that has shaped the landscape of the area. The coastline on the Baltic Sea has many bays connected to it, with Nyköping being well-shielded from the open sea by a peninsula with plenty of inlets. Offshore there are also plenty of islets making up the Sörmlandic archipelago. The county has lake tripoints with Stockholm and Uppsala in Mälaren, with Västmanland and Örebro in [[Hjälmaren]] and a land tri-point with Örebro and Östergötland just south of [[Högsjö]]. The southwest of the county marks the southernmost points of the greater regions of [[Svealand]] and the [[Mälaren Valley]].

The climate much like other parts of southern Sweden is a mix between [[oceanic climate|oceanic]] and moderated [[continental climate|continental]]. Summers highs are most often around {{convert|23|C|F}}, with lows around {{convert|12|C|F}} inland and either near or above {{convert|14|C|F}} on the coast due to the warm July [[sea surface temperature]]s. Winter highs differ between {{convert|0|C|F}} and {{convert|1|C|F}} between inland and coastal parts with lows around {{convert|-4|C|F}} on the coast to {{convert|-6|C|F}} inland and in the lakeside north. It can heavily fluctuate between different years with influences from different weather systems. Most often winters are still pronounced enough for the climate to be a clear four-season climate although the open sea most often remains ice-free year round.

== Politics ==
''Region Sörmland'' is the name of the [[Regional councils of Sweden|regional council]] of Södermanland, the county's self-governing local authority.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://regionsormland.se/om-region-sormland/|title=Om Region Sörmland - Region Sörmland|website=regionsormland.se|access-date=2019-07-22}}</ref>

As of 2019, the local government constellation consists of the [[Swedish Social Democratic Party|Social Democrats]], [[Vård för pengarna|Vård för Pengarna]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.sn.se/nyheter/sormland/1.2256702-nytt-parti-oppnar-for-samarbete-med-sd|archive-url=https://archive.today/20160821174205/http://www.sn.se/nyheter/sormland/1.2256702-nytt-parti-oppnar-for-samarbete-med-sd|url-status=dead|archive-date=2016-08-21|title=Nytt parti öppnar för samarbete med SD - Sörmland - www.sn.se|date=2016-08-21|website=archive.is|access-date=2019-07-22}}</ref> and the [[Centre Party (Sweden)|Centre Party]]. The coalition holds a majority in the regional council with 42 seats out of 71 total.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://sverigesradio.se/sida/artikel.aspx?programid=87&artikel=7049825|title=Klart: S, Vfp och C ska styra landstinget i Sörmland - P4 Sörmland|last=Radio|first=Sveriges|website=sverigesradio.se|language=sv|access-date=2019-07-22}}</ref>
