If you count places such as Copenhagen, Skagen, Gedser and Gråsten as marking points for the borders of Denmark you will find a small country located between Great Britain, Germany, Norway and Sweden. But Denmark has an extensive family up north consisting of The Faeroe Islands and the world’s biggest island, Greenland. Then we are talking horizons in a larger scale - from the top of the world.

Denmark is a Constitutional Monarchy with an elected Parliament that governs the country. The Prime Minister is the chief political officer and this position has been carried out by Anders Fogh Rasmussen since 2001 where he lead the way to the current liberal-conservative Government. 

In Denmarks lives approximately 5.3 million people dispersed in a land of many islands, bridges and small cosy towns, but with main concentration around the main cities such as Copenhagen (The Capital), Århus and the lower eastern part of Jutland, Odense, Ålborg and Esbjerg.  

The extendned family further north - Greenland and The Faeroe Islands  - are under nominal rule.

Stretching approximately 2.800 kilometeres (1750 miles) from north to south and 1000 kilomteres (625 miles) from east to west, Greenland is the biggest island in the world - a breathtaking giant in the arctic with only 55.000 inhabitants. Thats only approximately 9.000 more than lives on the much smaller Faeroe Islands (540 sq miles all together) in the North Atlantic Ocean.
