Situated in Northern Europe between the North Sea and the Baltic, Denmark is the only Scandinavian country connected to the European mainland. (The southern border of the Jutland Peninsula meets with Germany.) Denmark consists of about 400 islands, many of which are uninhabited.

The capital, Copenhagen, is situated on Zealand, the largest island. The entire country is 16,630 square miles in area (half the size of Maine), not including Greenland and the Faroe Islands. By area, it’s the smallest nation in Northern Europe.

Denmark has a mild climate with no extremes of heat or cold. In the light summer months of June to August, the average daytime temperature is 22 C and in February – the coldest month – the average is 1.2C. This makes Denmark’s weather much more like London’s or Amsterdam’s than that of the other Scandinavian countries.

Denmark is a constitutional monarchy, with Queen Margrethe II as the head of state. A popularly elected parliament, Folketinget, governs the country and the prime minister, the nation’s chief political officer, usually comes from the ranks of the majority party. The Faroe Islands and Greenland come under nominal rule from Denmark.

Approximately 5.3 million people live in Denmark, making it the most densely populated nation in Northern Europe. 1.7 million live in the Copenhagen metropolitan area.
