How did you change your region? Did you go through the Settings > General > Country/Region?

If yes, then that only changes what you have locally on your device but not for your Apple ID.

After creating the new Apple ID, sign out of the iTunes & App Store under Settings > Name > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID > Sign Out > Sign in with the new Apple ID


However, you might run into issues when you switch between your current Apple ID and the new Apple ID (Sweden) as there will be a limit of 90 days before you can change accounts as per article View and remove your associated devices for purchases – Apple Support
