Denmark is officially known as the Kingdom of Denmark. It is a Nordic country and is the southernmost of the Scandinavian countries. It shares its borders with Sweden on the Northeast, Norway on the north, and Germany on the south. Denmark proper consists of a peninsula, Jutland, and an archipelago of 443 islands, the largest being Zealand, Funen and North Jutlandic Island. It is a constitutional monarchy organised as a parliamentary democracy.

The government and national parliament are situated in Copenhagen, which is the capital city and also the largest city and main commercial centre.

The kingdom of Denmark also comprises two autonomous constituent countries in the north Atlantic Ocean, the Faroe Islands and Greenland.

Denmark has much to offer the bird watcher as well as the extreme thrill seeker and all of us in between.

Denmark is one of the trendiest countries in Europe. The Danish like to toss back a few when time permits. Time seems to permit a lot and a few beers often become many. To this end, going out for a night on the town with friendly Danes can be dangerous in the summer. Due to its location on old mother earth, it doesn’t get dark in Denmark until eleven during the summer. This can be difficult to adjust to, particularly when you look down at your watch and realize it is four in the morning. And the sun is coming up! Ah, but Denmark is not all socializing.

Denmark has a temperate climate, characterised by mild winters, with mean temperatures in January of 1.5 °C (34.7 °F), and cool summers, with a mean temperature in August of 17.2 °C (63.0 °F).

Land and water pollution are two of Denmark's most significant environmental issues, although much of the country's household and industrial waste is now increasingly filtered and sometimes recycled. The country has historically taken a progressive stance on environmental preservation.

Danish is the de facto national language of Denmark. A large majority of Danes (up to 86%) speak English as a second language. German is also the second most spoken foreign language.

Christianity is the main religion in Denmark with up to 75% of population.

The traditional cuisine of Denmark, like that of the other Nordic countries and of Northern Germany, consists mainly of meat, fish and potatoes. Danish dishes are highly seasonal, stemming from the country's agricultural past, its geography, and its climate of long, cold winters.
