The main purpose with SVEROK is to support gaming in Sweden. We are doing that mainly by distribute money to clubs, spreading information and helping with starting new clubs, and act as a representant in the Swedish youth council.
Up to this date we have about 750 clubs with 18000 members altogether (1,5 per mille of Sweden's population). Over 90% of the members are between 15 and 25 years old. The clubs are spread all over Sweden. SVEROK has no connections to political and religous organisations and we do not accept clubs with such connections.
SVEROK is a democratic organisation, ruled by the clubs. In effect they, once a year, elect a board which operates the federation over the year. The members of the board is unpaid. SVEROK does not rule the clubs in any way. Its free of charge for a club to be a member of SVEROK.
SVEROK is supported by the goverment, and this year we will get about $320,000. Most of the money, 55 %, is handed to the clubs for their gaming. About 20 % is spended on administration, 15% is for federation projects and 10% to other things, such as international projects, mainly with the nordic countries.
SVEROK publishes a magazine wich is printed in 2000 copies and is distrubuted to all our clubs, other interested gamers and gaming stores.
SVEROK is divided in districts. Some of those get economic support from the "landsting" (a swedish name for a political district, just below the national goverment). A lot of the clubs also recieves money from their city councils.
SVEROK is now increasing its activities in the other nordic countries with the intention to help the gamers to start similar organisations. Denmark has been the most succsessful so far and Norway is trailing. SVEROK has also begin to take contact with organisations in other parts of the world.
