 The map of Denmark offers an overview of some of the cities in the country.  Did you know that Denmark has the second oldest monarchy in the World. That Denmark is a small country with a population of only 5.5 million people yet has one of the largest coast lines in Europe.  Geographically, Denmark is relatively flat with no big mountains to climb, its highest point being no more than 173 m above sea level.  One of the many great things about living in Denmark is wherever you are; you are never far from the sea, for a refreshing swim in the summer months or a bracing walk on the beach in the winter months.

GOVERNMENT & POLITICS  The political system of Denmark is that of a multi-party structure, where several parties can be represented in Parliament at any one time. Danish governments are often characterised by minority administrations, aided with the help of one or more supporting parties. This means that Danish politics is based on consensus politics. Since 1909, no single party has had the majority in Parliament.

HISTORY  The word ‘Denmark’ dates back to the Viking age and is carved on the famous Jelling Stone from around 900 AD. Today though Denmark is very different from its historical past. Between the 13th and 17th centuries, Denmark was a superpower whose influence was as powerful as that of the largest European countries. Today, the current size and influence of Denmark is the result of 400 years of forced relinquishments of land, surrenders and lost battles. For a small country though, Denmark still punches above its weight in many different areas including design, architecture, farming, green technology and pharmaceuticals.
