(Danish: Kongeriget Danmark) is geographically the smallest
and southernmost Nordic country, and is part of the European
Union. It is located in Scandinavia which is in northern
Europe, but it does not lie on the Scandinavian Peninsula.
Denmark borders the Baltic Sea and the North Sea, and
consists of a peninsula attached to Northern Germany
named Jutland (Jylland), the islands Funen (Fyn), Zealand
(Sjælland), Bornholm and many smaller islands,
the waters of which are often referred to as the Danish
Archipelago. Denmark lies north of Germany (its only
land neighbour), southwest of Sweden,
and south of Norway.

Living in Denmark
The climate is temperate, with mild winters and cool
summers. Main cities are the capital Copenhagen (on
Zealand), Aarhus, Aalborg (on Jutland) and Odense (on
Fyn).
The majority of the population is of Scandinavian descent,
with small groups of Inuit (from Greenland), Faroese,
and immigrants. According to official statistics in
2003 immigrants made up 6.2% of the total population.
Danish is spoken in the entire country, although a
small group near the German border also speaks German.
Many Danes are fluent in English as well, particularly
those in larger cities and the youth, who are taught
English in school.
According to official statistics from January 2002
84.3% of Danes are members of the state church, the
Danish People's Church (Den Danske Folkekirke), also
known as the Church of Denmark, a form of Lutheranism;
the rest are primarily of other Christian denominations
and also about 3% are Muslims. For the last decade Danish
People's Church has seen a decline in the number of
memberships.
Denmark is divided into 13 counties (amter, singular:
amt), and 271 municipalities (kommuner, singular kommune).
The coming Danish Municipal Reform will replace the counties
with five new regions and reduce the number of municipalities
to 98. The new municipalities will take over most of the
responsibilities of the former counties. Most of the new
municipalities will have a population of at least 20,000
people. The reform will be implemented on 1 January 2007.
