Well as been already answered Sweden doesn't have a Pledge of Allegiance.

I've always wondered what the Pledge stand for, is it the same as absolute loyalty and that you're vow to die for your country or is it only a way to recognice and respect it? If it's the first one then school kids shouldn't be allow to do the Pledge as they don't completely understand what loyalty is.

What I think about it?... Well that depends on exactly who it is that does it. Soldiers: OK...Children: seems a bit militaristic to me.
