I'd like to see another city in Scandinavia because it's a bit empty 
So I've lumped two cities together. Both are important to Swedish automotive history. So the cities are Trollhättan which is the birthplace of SAAB, and Torslanda which is the birthplace of Volvo, and together they form Gothenburg (Göteborg) which is the biggest nearest city, and the municipality which Torlanda (it's like a suburb) belongs to. Gothenburg is also important to the automotive industry since the company which invented the roller bearing (SKF, the director of which happened to also be the founder of Volvo...) is from that very city. It's also the biggest harbour in Scandinavia...
Anyway, population numbers by municipality is http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6tebo...#Demografi (graph is pretty straight forward...). The metropolitan area has more citizens, but no stats until 1968. The metropolitan area is considered to have 900K-1.5M citizens (wikipedia stats different numbers) in modern days, however the metropolitan area is rather large.
The city is located about 290 km south of Olso/Kristiania, 400 km west of Stockholm, 320 km north of Copenhagen, on the western seacoast of Sweden. (as an in game comparison, the distance between Leeds and London is 270 km).
Hope the city is accepted, since I have at least one other city/region in mind.
