Try to add css .navbar-nav li {display:inline-block;} <-- this let all <li> tags lined up.

In Bootstrap 3.x, you can use the nav-justified class... No custom CSS required:
<nav class="navbar navbar-default" role="navigation">
<div class="container">
<ul class="nav nav-justified">
<li>HEM</li>
<li>OM</li>
<li>VAD ÄR VI?</li>
<li>TJÄNSTER</li>
<li>VARFÖR?</li>
<li>KONTAKT</li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>

Bootstrap 4 there is the nav-fill class...
<nav class="navbar navbar-toggleable-md navbar-light bg-faded">
<div class="container">
<button class="navbar-toggler navbar-toggler-right" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbar10">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<div class="navbar-collapse collapse" id="navbar10">
<ul class="navbar-nav nav-fill w-100">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</nav>

FIDDLE
just a little fix to what #Fiskolin has done, if you want it to always be centered you should make sure that the UL will center all text by adding this to it.
ul { text-align:center; }

Answer 5

I am using this for Bootstrap v3.
#media (min-width: 768px) {
.navbar ul {
float: unset !important;
justify-content: center;
display: flex;
}
}
