Sweden automatic 15 rating

In Sweden, the valid ratings of today are: 0, 7, 11, 15, as verified by the Swedish Mediemyndigheten

If media is unrated, it will be considered 15 automatically. There is no need to have your media rated if it is going to be rated 15 anyway, as stated by the Swedish Mediemyndigheten.

I tried adding a classification to a film as Sweden:15 with the attribute "(unrated, automatic classification)", however, this was rejected.

I suggest a specific rating added for Sweden such as "Sweden:15/Not Rated" or similar to that, which will then properly display the Swedish "15" on the media that has been verified as not rated by the Swedish Mediemyndigheten, instead of IMDb defaulting to the US classification which isn't useful. The Swedish Mediemyndigheten is recognising that some do intentionally choose not to have their media classified, letting their media be considered 15, and I think IMDb should take this into consideration.

In short:

Add new classification: "Sweden:15/Not Rated"

To be used for media that has been verified to not have been rated by Mediemyndigheten, nor have any other third party listed on IMDb either.
