A small town in northern Sweden suspended its offer of 100 free plots of land...after just 3 days...because of an overwhelming response from Poland.
Some 1,500 Poles called officials in Nordmaling...after a Polish newspaper story publicized the offer.

"For 3 days, I did nothing other than answer the phone, including my mobile. I couldn't handle it," said an official.
The population 2,600 town...365 miles north of Stockholm...wants to boost decades of a declining population.
