Since I couldn't tempt a certain person to answer this themself... *cough* That is, I had some help from taiyou_to_tsuki, thanks.
A boggart for Sweden would probably appear as himself, circa Thirty Years War to Great Northern War. In short, his empire days. Both because those were times with much external and internal conflict and horrible warfare in general, but also because (at least) in hindsight he abhors having been that militaristic nation.
The very worst memory, though, might be 1809, and losing Finland to Russia. Sweden lost hope of regaining his superpower status, and a large area that had been part of him for centuries in one blow. Furthermore, after that Finland started becoming more independent, and, to quote my source: "A worse thing than giving up the person you love the most to someone you can't stand is knowing that that person is better off without you."
