Vice Prime Minister of Sweden
The Swedish constitution of 1974 requires that the Prime Minister of Sweden appoints one of the Ministers in the cabinet as Vice Prime Minister, in case the Prime Minister for some reason is prevented from performing his or her duties. However, if a Vice Prime Minister has not been appointed, the Minister in the cabinet who has served the longest time (and if there are several with equal experience the one who is oldest) takes over as Head of Government.
