Södermanlands-Nerikes Nation (usually called Snerikes) is one of the 13 student nations of Uppsala University. The nation claims its founding to be in 1595 when the original Södermanlands nation was founded, this nation merged with the Nerikes nation in 1805 to form the current nation. Though at the turn of the 20th century its numbers were as low as 100 members, there are currently around 10,000 students as members.
Snerikes is unique amongst student nations in being not entirely open to all students. Swedes must be from or have close family relations to the Snerikes catchment area to join. This requirement is waived for foreign students; Snerikes is in fact a popular nation for foreign students.
