Denmark
Denmark, offilicially Kongeriget Danmark (The Kingdom of Denmark) is a Scandinavian country that is the most southerly of Norhtern Europe's Nordic lands. Copenhagen is its capital and largest city and the official language is Danish. Denmark is officially a Parliamentary democracy and Constitutional monarchy. he country consists of a large peninsula, Jutland (Jylland) and many islands, most notably Zealand (Sjælland), Funen (Fyn), Vendsyssel-Thy, Lolland, Falster and Bornholm as well as hundreds of minor islands often referred to as the Danish Archipelago. Denmark has long controlled the approach to the Baltic Sea, and these waters are also known as the Danish straits. The Faroe Islands and Greenland are autonomous provinces of Denmark with home rule. The Danish economy is the world's 34th largest and Denmark joined the European Union in 1973. The modern name 'Denmark' is thought to derive from a Germanic root Dhan (flat) and mark for woodland or borderland. Thus Denmark is the 'flat borderland'. During Viking times the Danes travelled extensively, and they settled in Scotland, Northern England, Ireland and Normandy (as well as settling Iceland and reaching North America). Denmark is a member of the United Nations and NATO and is an active member of both, participating in many of the peacekeeping campaigns. Statistics state that 82% of Danes are members of the Luterhan church, yet only 31% of Danish citizens explicity believe in a god and Denmark has the world's third higest proportion of atheists and agnostics in the world. The traditioal cuisine of Denmark is fairly simple, based around the staples of fish and meat. Rye bread is also a staple and many recipes are based on this. Traditional foods include meatballs, breaded meats served with potatoes and both fresh and smoked fish. |
