'Dana' is not as common as 'Svea' (very far from, actually). I have an
impression that it is more common in use by Swedes as a parallel to
'Svea' than it's used by the danes themselves - but the Danes do, at
least occasionally, use 'Dana'.

Yes, Britannia is closer to how we "picture" 'Moder Svea', like on our
older bank notes: http://w1.860.telia.com/~u86006969/1890.htm

Danish things are *much* more familiar to me)

I've heard it in use - but that can be as a "Svea-parallel" only.
