About Denmark
Northern Europe contains the nation of Denmark. The Jutland Peninsula and more than 400 islands in the North Sea make up this region. Germany and it both share a southern border. The size of the nation is almost twice that of Massachusetts. The topography of Denmark is primarily flat with a few gently sloping hills. The landmass was gently traversed by glaciers throughout the Ice Age, which helped to build the modern-day nation. The lengthy coastline of Denmark is home to numerous gulfs, inlets, and lagoons. Denmark lies entirely within 32 miles (67 km) of the sea. Despite being in northern Europe, Denmark has a pleasant climate thanks to the Gulf Stream's warm waters.
​
The term "Danes" refers to the citizens of Denmark. They are Nordic Scandinavians, and many of them are tall, blond, and blue-eyed. Some residents of the south of the nation are descended from Germans. One of the best standards of living in the world is enjoyed by Danes. Every Danish family receives more than $1,500 annually for each child under the age of 18. The National Church of Denmark is attended by over 85% of the population in Denmark. More over a million people live in Copenhagen's capital city.
Denmark is a constitutional monarchy. In January 2012, Queen Margrethe II marked 40 years as monarch. In all of Europe, Denmark boasts the longest continuous line of kings. King Gorm, who reigned in the tenth century, is the ancestor of Queen Margrethe II.The prime minister is in charge of the government even though the Queen is the head of state. The Folketing, the only chamber of the Danish Parliament, has 179 elected members.
​
Danish history dates back to the Stone Age, but there is evidence that people first settled in the country some 50,000 years ago. Viking warriors from Denmark and other Scandinavian nations ravaged Europe from the ninth to the eleventh centuries. The majority of today's cities in Denmark were established following the Viking age.
In the latter half of the fourteenth century, Queen Margrethe unified Denmark, Norway, and Sweden as the Union of Kalmar. Norway was governed by Denmark until 1814, despite Sweden leaving the Union in 1523.
