Denmark

The Kingdom of Denmark (Kongeriget Danmark), commonly known as Denmark (Danmark), is a constitutional monarchy comprised of the territories of the Jutland Peninsula , Sjöllän , Greenland , and the Faroe Islands according to the Danish Constitution .

The area commonly called Denmark consists of the Jutland Peninsula, which extends to the north of Germany , and large and small islands. At first glance, the mainland is the Jutland Peninsula and the surrounding islands seem to be attached islands, but the island of Sjælland, where the metropolitan area is formed, has a larger population, making it ambiguous as to which is the mainland.

It is often referred to as three Scandinavian countries along with Norway and Sweden in terms of history, language, and cultural aspects, including Finland and Iceland . Currently, the territory of the Nordic countries on the mainland is the smallest,[14] In the past, Denmark dominated these nations as a leading country of the Kalmar alliance . The Nordic Cross Flag, a common Nordic country, was also aid for Denmark, and the countries that were once dominated by Denmark were influenced by Denmark and used similar flags.

It is considered a representative developed country and a high-income country, and is also competing for world rankings in terms of political transparency . As a ' developed country , not a powerful country ', it is the first country that comes to mind, along with the Nordic countries of Finland , Norway , and Sweden , and Switzerland , Austria , the Netherlands , and Belgium , which are also major developed countries in Europe.

According to the Danish Constitution , 'Denmark' refers to mainland Denmark, and 'Kongeriget Danmark' refers to the concept including mainland Denmark, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands .

The Faroe Islands and Greenland are largely independent regions that enjoy a high degree of autonomy, and are geographically separated from the Danish 'mainland' region, so they are often distinguished from each other. The only link with the mainland is limited to soccer , as the Faroe Islands participate exclusively in the FIFA World Cup .[15] In English, the mainland area of ​​Denmark is usually referred to as Denmark 'proper'.

Thanks to Greenland, the Danish Realm becomes the 12th largest country in the world after the Democratic Republic of Congo . It is wider than Saudi Arabia . Greenland occupies 98% of the kingdom's area, and conversely, mainland Denmark occupies more than 98% of the population.

When you think of a ' country without mountains ', it is the first country that comes to mind, along with the Netherlands , and has an overall low terrain. The highest peak, Mollehøj Hill, is only about 170m high. There are many islands, and the coastline is very long, approximately 7,000 km. The End of the World, an area where the mysterious phenomenon of the ocean splitting apart, is also located in Denmark.





It consists of one peninsula, one 'big' island, and several small islands. There is a Shellan island in the northeast of the Willan Peninsula in northern Germany, and Copenhagen , the capital of Denmark, is located on Shellan Island . In addition, Armager Island, Eroup Island[16] It consists of several islands. In the east side of Copenhagen, it is adjacent to Sweden's Malmo with a foreign stranger .

As you can see at a glance, Denmark's topography itself is a barrier to the Baltic Sea, making it one of the very important regions in the Baltic Sea.

The climate is milder than other Nordic countries. The average temperature in Copenhagen in January is 1.4°C. However, the winter is wet and the daily temperature range is small, so the temperature feels cold.[17] And despite the oceanic climate, reusable water resources are less than expected, and due to the poor water quality typical of Europe and high tax rates, water rates for households are the most expensive among OECD member countries. There is a lot of wind throughout the year, and climate change is particularly severe in winter. The average annual rainfall is 664mm, and there are about 160 days of rain per year.

Denmark's traditional territory is divided into three provinces, Willan , Själland , and Skåne, which were ruled when the Kingdom of Denmark was founded around the 9th century. Jjland refers to the Jjland Peninsula and Fün Island , excluding Schleswig (Slesby) in the south , and Sjölland is a large island where Copenhagen is located. Skåne is the head of the southern tip of the Scandinavian Peninsula, across the sea from Copenhagen, and is currently a Swedish territory since the Northern War in the 17th century. In the past, the Sjöland region was the center of the country, but as Skåne became Swedish territory, Copenhagen was located in the easternmost part of the country. However, Bornholm Island, which is cut off in the map above, is located to the east of the country. The island of Fyn was merged with the Själland region during the Danish administrative reorganization after the 19th century.

Unlike its current appearance, historically it ruled the Scandinavian Peninsula and Iceland , which are several times the size of the country, under the names of the Kalmar Union and the United Kingdom of Denmark and Norway, and still owns Danish Greenland . As the colonial era ends, Greenland is trying to gain independence from Denmark, but it is experiencing difficulties due to its own economic independence and social problems such as alcoholism. In addition, the Faroe Islands are also part of Denmark. Danish is spoken on the Danish islands .

Denmark's population, like other countries in Western Europe, has not increased much, but has grown fairly steadily. Although there was a period of stagnation from 1980 to 1990, Denmark's population is gradually increasing overall. Of course, the number of immigrants is increasing significantly in the 21st century.

The total population from 1950 to the present is:

The birth population from 2000 to the present is as follows.

Life expectancy from 1965 to the present is as follows:

The fertility rates from 1965 to the present are as follows:

The Danish Armed Forces include the Royal Danish Army, Royal Danish Navy, Royal Danish Air Force, and Homeland Reserve.

After World War II, he introduced a draft system and operated it as a similar system to Norwegian army, abolished it in 2015 and converted it into a recruitment system, and since July 2025 after the invasion of Ukraine in Russia,[18] It is converted to 11 months of draft, including women. It was a conventional four months (12 months if the recruitment was not smooth). Basic military training is five months. # # 18 years of age or older will have a physical examination, and since the number of people is more than the demand for conscription, it is drafted through the lottery conducted by the physical examination.

Income distribution is very equal, but based on asset ownership, the top 20% own 99% of the total wealth, making it one of the countries with the largest gap between rich and poor in the world. It is difficult to accumulate assets because the minimum tax rate is 40% and the highest tax rate starts at an annual income of $53,000 once the annual income exceeds $7,000 (this is the lowest level of poverty in Denmark). According to the OECD TAX database, Denmark is the highest tax collector among OECD countries. Looking at the average effective tax rate for single-person households without children, regardless of whether they are high-income earners or low-income earners, the average tax rates for households with 67%, 100%, and 167% of average income are 33%, 35%, and 42%, respectively, which is overwhelming than other countries as well as Nordic countries such as Finland (15%, 22%, 29%) and Sweden (15%, 18%, 30%). The tax rate for high income earners is also the highest in the world at 56.5%. Although various welfare policies guarantee the basic lives of the common people, it is difficult to save money without property inherited from generation to generation, which means that no matter how well welfare is provided, labor is still necessary .

Household debt is also one of the highest in the world. That's over 330% of after-tax disposable income. The debt-to-GDP ratio is also very high at 122.9%. However, Denmark has a 70% employment rate and a good pension situation, so people who can expect stable income even in old age and can afford to pay interest have taken out debt to buy a house, so the risk of bankruptcy is on the low side. Of course, even if the mortgage continues to be paid off, the house price continues to fall, so the Danish people have just given up. Certainly , house prices are not continuing to rise like the surrounding Oslo and Stockholm . Denmark's savings rate is the lowest in the OECD. In June 2014, the European Union introduced a negative interest rate, and Denmark's interest rate, which has to maintain a fixed exchange rate with the euro, is expected to fall further. This negative interest rate system is causing young people to postpone their independence. Living on monthly rent itself is subsidized by the government for a certain amount of rent, but even with rent subsidy, living on a lease is a considerable burden in itself, and it is not enough to afford to buy a house.

Working in Denmark can be explained in large part by the flexibility and welfare system. In addition, companies with a lot of names in the field of sound equipment occupy one axis of the economic structure.

Liberal-conservative Danes sometimes criticize Denmark, calling it a socialist hellhole.[19] consumption, which is strongly discouraged primarily by high tax rates;[20] Many people are dissatisfied with the enormous household debt and the outflow of highly skilled workers overseas . In response to these complaints from liberal-conservative Danes, the Benster Party, a political party pursuing liberal-conservative ideology that came to power in 2017, promoted large-scale reforms, including tax cuts. However, this time, excessive policies aroused opposition, and the Social Democratic Party, a party pursuing social democratic ideology, became the ruling party again.

In 2009, government spending on social security (education, health and social protection) amounted to approximately Danish kroner (DKK) 693 billion, accounting for more than 71% of the government budget. In particular, spending alone in the health sector amounts to 15% of the total government budget. In addition, Denmark has 48 general hospitals as of 2011, and has a relatively high level of medical care.

After retirement, Danish citizens receive a national pension worth between 8,183 and 11,106 Danish kroner, with the minimum amount if living with a married partner and the highest amount from the government if living alone. As of 2010, the number of pension beneficiaries was about 910,000, and by 2030, the number of pension beneficiaries is expected to increase to 1.02 million. In addition, social subsidies are provided to families eligible for education of minor children and support for living expenses such as unemployment.

This is the country where Lego, the block toy loved by children all over the world, came from. Danish woodworker Ole Kirk Christiansen founded the Lego company in Billund and exported it all over the world, making Lego a toy loved by both children and adults. Thanks to LEGO, Billun , a small town , has grown into a metropolitan city with an international airport. In addition, Legoland was created for the first time in Denmark. The dairy industry is also developed, and Danish ham, sausages, cheese, milk, and powdered milk are world-famous. Bang & Olufsen and Dynaudio , which are famous in the audio industry , are also Danish companies, and there are Maersk Line, a shipping company , and MAN Energy Solution, a marine engine company, which are the only mega companies in Denmark that rank first in the world . Novo Nordisk, a large pharmaceutical company that surpassed LVMH and ranked first in European market capitalization, is also a Danish company.

Danes, unlike other Northern Europeans, are relatively sociable and friendly.[22] It is famous for its optimistic national character called hygge . Especially in the capital city of Copenhagen, the British novelist Evelyn Waugh (1903-1966) said that they were the most cheerful people in Northern Europe, and the overall national atmosphere was relatively bright compared to other Northern European countries.

They are very considerate of travelers with young children. Priority is given unconditionally when using public transportation such as airplanes, trains, and buses.[23] A little outside of the touristic Copenhagen, it is quite common for strangers to see a young child smiling and talking to their family.

Elevators are everywhere, buses are all low-floor buses, and stroller and bicycle compartments occupy almost half of the total on railways, allowing strollers, wheelchairs, and bicycles to go up and down comfortably. That's why the stroller is so big. Attached to the front of a bicycle, it is often seen that it is an object that is in the middle of a cart and a stroller that carry children of about kindergarten age. Kindergarten teachers pick up four children each, or parents use them to bring their children to school.

Public safety is quite good. There are very few gypsies , so there are very few cases of pickpocketing. Therefore, it is one of the few European countries where you can go out at night even if you are not in Copenhagen. Still, foreigners must always take good care of their bags. Conversely, there are cases where other foreigners pick-pocket at Danish airports or subways.

They have a high level of civic awareness and a high level of welfare, so they are very considerate of people with disabilities. There is even a TV channel dedicated to people with intellectual disabilities and autism called TV-GLAD . The employment system for the disabled is also very well established, and most disabled people get jobs through vocational education. Almost all people with mild disabilities can find employment, and people with severe disabilities can work in situations where there are assistive facilities for their disabilities. If not, they can make a living with sufficient disability pensions and dedicated welfare systems.

However, the level of discrimination and racism against non-white foreigners living in Denmark is so great that the word hygge is meaningless. Areas with more than 50% of the non-Western population are designated as ghettos , and redevelopment and reconstruction projects are carried out in these ghettos, while non-Western populations living in public housing are kicked out.[24] there is. Thanks to this system of racial discrimination, they are currently being prosecuted by the European Court of Justice.

As in other European countries, most Danes can speak English.[25] In Denmark, there are educational facilities that teach both Danish and English. When learning Danish, many people come on a working holiday having already mastered English. Even until 2017, it was open to everyone for free as long as a visa was approved.[26] If you watch the old Korean drama Manager Kim , the country Manager Kim says he wants to immigrate to is Denmark, and there is a scene where he studies Danish during his free time alone.

As Denmark itself pursues a very monotonous life, people who like entertainment will quickly get bored while visiting, and it is common for even those who go on a working holiday to not be able to complete a full year in Denmark. The nearby countries of Finland, Norway, and Sweden also tend to get boring quickly, so I generally recommend going a little further down when traveling.

Denmark is also a country with a large number of immigrants. Among them, 44% of children raised in bilingual families have poor Danish proficiency. showing policy.

It is the first country to legally recognize same-sex partners, probably thanks to a social climate that is quite tolerant of homosexuality. The first country to legalize same-sex marriage was the Netherlands in 2001, but Denmark was the first country in the world to introduce civil unions for same-sex couples in 1989.[27] Same-sex marriage was legalized in Denmark in 2012. This came quite late when civil unions had been legalized 23 years earlier, because of opposition from the Benster Party, which had been in power for a long time from 2001 to 2011.[28]

The basic sentiment of Danish society is sometimes described as 'Janteloven' (Janteloven).[29] It consists of 10 clauses, but in a nutshell, 'You are just an ordinary person and there is nothing better than other people'. Some positively interpret this as a culture that is non-discriminatory, humane, and avoids extreme competition, while others interpret it negatively, saying that it does not allow individuals to stand out. Even in Denmark, there are quite a few people who are dissatisfied with this. The individualism index of Northern European countries, including Denmark , is low, clearly higher than Korea, Japan, and Spain, but lower than that of the United States and Italy.

The image of Korea is not bad. There is also a relationship in the 6.25 war, and there is also a point that K-pop culture has influenced Europe. There are also many Danish people of Korean descent who adopted many children to Denmark when the Korean economy did not develop. Denmark's culture itself is on the generous side, so I tend to view any country favorably.

Alcohol is allowed from the age of 16 . And in European countries, the internet speed is quite fast.

The first sex culture that legalized pornography in Northern Europe (1969) is a very open country. However, there were no side effects on the rapid open trend of sex in the 1970s, and there were no crimes that were unacceptable in my open country. 'Sexual opening is just a sexual degeneration that is just eliminating the sexual moral safety devices obtained by the past wisdom.' For example, Denmark was stigmatized as a representative child pornography country in Western Europe.[30] In addition, the child's porn at that time was a tremendous controversy in Denmark because it was really photographed by the scene of sexual acts in the early teens. Fortunately, the creation of children's pornography was banned in 1980, led by public opinion and politics that recognized the seriousness of the problem. Another example is that Denmark was notorious for animal prostitution until around 2014, and eventually banned in April 2015 under the pressure of animal protection groups. On March 5, 2019, Amnesty published a report based on Denmark's sexual assault victims, experts, and related authorities' interviews, but in Denmark, gender equality has already been achieved.

Recently, a non-profit organization that teaches sex education has changed the focus of sex education from ' contraception ' to 'encouraging childbirth'. Private companies also put out advertisements to raise the birth rate. However, in Denmark, the fertility rate has risen to a certain extent compared to the past when the population was stagnant and is being maintained.

Under the influence of NF S Grundtvi, the concept of lifelong education was first asserted, and the concept of 'people's high school' was also introduced.

Folkeskole is the Danish name for the primary and secondary schools.[31] Like Sweden, it is an integrated 9th grade system for elementary, middle and high school.

For advanced secondary education, it is divided into:

And depending on the above education process, the hat worn at the graduation ceremony changes.

Institutions of higher education are generally fairly evenly distributed across the country, with the University of Copenhagen , the Technical University of Denmark, the University of Roskilde and the University of Aarhus . A bachelor's course is three years, and a master's course is two to three years, depending on the university. University students receive a national education subsidy from the government called Statens Uddannelsesstøtte of 6,090 kroner per month as of 2018. It is said that there is no obligation to repay, and when there is future income, a little more tax is borne. All university students who want to, regardless of their parents' financial status, are eligible, and about 85% of Danish university students do so. Students from countries belonging to the EU are also eligible for benefits if they work part-time for more than a certain number of hours.

As of 2016, 76.9% of people were surveyed to believe in the state church , the Lutheran Church ( Church of Denmark ) , and the total number of Christians , including Catholicism and other Protestant denominations, was about 80%. It is also one of the countries with the highest proportion of Protestants in the world.



As in other Nordic countries, all non-Lutheran Protestant denominations are Free Churches (Frikirke).[33] It is collectively called by the name, but it is rarely common.



About 40,000 Catholics , or 0.7% of the population, have one diocese in the capital, Copenhagen.

Apart from the high proportion of Protestant believers, similar to other Northern European countries, there is a strong tendency to be quite open when it comes to religion. Although the proportion of Protestants is high, in reality, it is more like just registering your name with the church as if you were registering as a resident, so the attendance rate at worship services is extremely low and the majority are elderly. As in neighboring countries such as the UK and the Netherlands, there are cases where churches are converted into other buildings, and there are also controversies over whether religious cultural assets are being damaged.

Still, during events such as Christmas, Easter, and Pentecost, relatively large numbers of people gather in churches. In particular, on the day of Pentecost, you can occasionally see scenes of outdoor worship with a cross placed on the lawn.

Cartoons satirizing Muhammad , the prophet of Islam , were published in newspapers and were severely criticized by Muslims around the world. At first, someone wanted to clear up some of the bad misunderstandings about Islam that were prevalent at the time, so they tried to draw a children's book about Muhammad that was mainly aimed at younger audiences. However, in Islam, Muhammad should not be represented in pictures.[34] Because he was afraid of being attacked by extremist Muslims while illustrating a children's book, all of the dozens of artists who proposed drawings for him rejected them. So, the person who first started the project thought that this was also a form of suppression of the press and changed the course to satire. It was originally a cartoon drawn jointly by six cartoonists, not an individual cartoonist, but it was somewhat distorted by Islamic leaders, and after repeated revisions , it was reborn as a work that would upset any Muslim . A French cartoonist once drew a picture of Muhammad along with Yahweh, Jesus, and Buddha, saying that we have the right to draw God, but was cut from the newspaper after being criticized by a French intellectual for drawing the picture without knowing that the God in Islam is Allah and not Muhammad.

Fairy tale author Hans Christian Andersen is world-famous, and the Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen is widely known as a tourist attraction, but it is one of the tourist attractions where people are disappointed because the Little Mermaid statue is too shabby. In addition, it has been destroyed several times and now surveillance cameras are installed nearby. There have even been cases where it was not just graffitied or damaged, but even blown up with dynamite . However, after Disney 's The Little Mermaid became a huge success, ushering in the Disney Renaissance , its status in Denmark, the home of The Little Mermaid, rose significantly and it was treated as a national literature.

Author Isaac Dinesen (real name Karen Blixen ), who is well-known for his film adaptations of <Out of Africa> and <Babet's Feast>, is also from Denmark. A case in which he wrote simultaneously in English and Danish and worked with advancement to the international stage in mind from the beginning. One of his representative works, “Winter’s Story,” mainly uses Danish motifs such as traditional folk paintings to express his love for his native country. The depiction of Danish nature is especially beautiful.

The level of metal music is not as high as Finland , Norway , or Sweden , but there are still quite a few large bands. In particular, King Diamond, one of the top three names in melodic death metal, is from Denmark. There is also Pretty Maze, who has been a legend since 1981, and Royal Hunt, one of the kings of melodic metal . Metallica 's Lars Ulrich was born in Denmark.

Michael Learns To Rock and Blink, which gained great popularity in Korea in the 90s, are also Danish soft rock bands. However, these bands were mainly popular bands limited to Asia or Northern Europe.

Mew, who also has passionate fans in Korea, is also from this country. She is famous for She Spider, which was inserted in <Spider-Man 2>. There is even talk of her being one of Denmark's top exports in the 2000s. Aqua is also a Danish band.

Ice Age , one of the major post-punk bands of the 2010s, is also a Danish band. Pop musicians like MØ are also popular. Indie singer-songwriters like Agnes Obel and Mina Okabe are also very popular.[35]

Christopher, who has many fans in Korea , is also from Denmark.

The Denmark company is the IO Interactive , the producer of the famous hidden assassination game Hitman Series , and the 2011 Indie game world, LIMBO . In addition, in Korea, the subtle subtle but the Western community can be used to know the indie game Deep Rock Galactic producer Ghost Ship Games is also a Denmark company in Copenhagen.

Although the market size is not that large, it has a reputation overseas for its well-made products. In the case of films, less than 30 Danish domestic films are produced each year, but they are competitive enough to account for more than half of Danish box office revenue. It is famous for producing famous directors such as Carl Theodor Dreyer even before World War II.

Danish dramas are being exported with good responses, especially in the English-speaking world. Forbrydelsen, based on American drama The Killing, political drama Borgen[36] , and the mini-series historical drama 1864 are famous.

Soccer is overwhelmingly popular . Along with Sweden, it is a representative powerhouse in Northern Europe and its national team is the Denmark national soccer team . The player who is considered the greatest legend of all time is Allan Simonsen , and the brothers Mikael Laudrup and Brian Laudrup , Peter Schmeichel , Preben Elkair , Ebe San , Jondal Tomasson , Denis Rommedal , and Thomas Sørensen are also famous.

He did not show much prominence in club soccer. There is the Danish Superliga, the first division league, but unlike Swedish Allsvenskan, where Malmo FF finished as runner-up in the European Cup ( predecessor of the UEFA Champions League ) (1979 competition, winner was Nottingham Forest ) and IFK Gothenburg , which won the UEFA Cup twice and went to the semifinals of the Champions League twice, did not show solid results in 2010-11. FC Copenhagen , who advanced to the round of 16 in the Champions League , achieved results after a long time. However, Copenhagen was eliminated by Viktoria Plzen of the Czech Republic in the 2011-12 Champions League playoffs and was pushed out of the Europa League, and also advanced to the Europa League in the 2012-13 season.

Among players playing in other European leagues, central defender Daniel Agger , who played for Liverpool FC , is considered the most popular player. He has a handsome face and is the vice-captain of Liverpool.[37] His skills are so top-notch that he was appointed as the captain of the Danish national team.[38] Nicklas Bendtner, known as a promising young player, is also from this country. After Agger retired, VfL Wolfsburg 's Christian Eriksen took over as captain and is the most recognized player in the world.

Cho Kyu-seong , who announced himself to the world by scoring two goals at the 2022 Qatar World Cup, is playing for FC Mittwillan .

Other popular sports include badminton and handball . In particular, these two sports attract more attention because they often clash with other countries at the Olympics . Badminton contributed a lot to the development of Denmark as a game in the first place. So even today, Denmark is the country where badminton is the most popular, along with Indonesia and Malaysia in Southeast Asia , and its skills are among the best in Europe. Handball is also famous as a popular team ball sport. Although men are also popular, female players show a stronger side on the international stage. The women's handball team won three consecutive Olympic Games in 1996, 2000, and 2004. In particular, at the 2004 Olympics, they left a strong impression on Korea by defeating Korea in the finals in a close match that included overtime and a shootout, and was featured in the movie The Best Moments of Our Lives . In 1996, they also won the gold medal by defeating Korea in overtime in the final. Others include Caroline Wozniacki, a star in women's tennis . In the case of men's tennis, there was no notable figure, but recently Holger Rune , the world's top men's ranker, appeared.

The countries most closely related to Denmark, such as Germany, Norway, and Sweden, are all powerhouses in winter sports and enjoy great popularity, while Denmark is, on the contrary, the weakest among all Nordic countries. First of all, I can't ski because there are no mountains.[39] There isn't much snow so I can't ride. Countries like Estonia, which gets a lot of snow even without mountains, are strong in cross-country skiing, but Denmark doesn't even get much snow. I wonder if it would be possible to foster skating like in the Netherlands , but that is not feasible. In the Winter Olympics, after winning a silver medal in curling at the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics, there was no medal for 28 years, and then at the 2026 Milan/Cortina d'Ampezzo Winter Olympics, she won a silver medal in speed skating , for a total of 2 medals. Therefore, unlike neighboring countries, we cannot even think of taking on the challenge of hosting the Winter Olympics.

Ice hockey is consistently participating in championships and is ranked in the top 10 in the world. Although he had no experience participating in the Winter Olympics, he succeeded in participating for the first time by passing the preliminaries for the 2022 Beijing Olympics. He also passed the preliminaries for the next Olympics, the 2026 Milan/Cortina d'Ampezzo Winter Olympics, successfully advancing to the Olympics for the second time in a row. In particular, Denmark's recent growth is notable. Many great players are already playing in the big leagues, including the NHL, and young, promising players continue to emerge. Although they do not yet have a solid domestic league, they are standing out in the long-term in the top division of the IIHF Championship along with Germany. This is even more noticeable when you consider that neighboring countries such as the Netherlands and Belgium are good at hockey. This seems to be due to the large influence of Scandinavia and Germany. At one time, it seemed like Korea or D1A-level teams could compete against each other if they played well, but now the so-called Big Six[40] It feels like it has been upgraded to the tier just below it. Representative players include Lars Ehler , Nikolaj Ehlers , Oliver Bjorkstrand , and Frederik Anersen .

Northern Europe (Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark), usually represented by the four Nordic countries , is a place where many pro gamers with good skills are produced, even in e-sports , which are generally strong worldwide . There are many Danish pro gamers in League of Legends , such as Wicked , Frogen , Biyeoksen , Svenkeren , Caps , Wonder , Broxa , Jensen , Santorin , and Zven , and it is said that Danish mids are trusted and used. If it's a national competition, it's comparable to Korea and China.

It is one of the countries with a very solid pro scene in the Counter Strike series , and has been one of the strongest countries in the world for a long time since the days of 1.6. Astralis, the best team in the world[41] There are many strong teams including and Heroic . Dafran, the bad boy of the Overwatch pro scene, is also from Denmark.

Although it is a country that stands out by being strong in sports, Denmark has no experience hosting either the Summer or Winter Olympics, unlike neighboring countries that have hosted the Olympics at least once or twice.[42]

Danish is the only official language in Denmark. Danish is also spoken on the Danish Islands and the Faroe Islands, and was formerly an official language in Greenland. There are many similarities with Norwegian and Swedish , so Danes, Norwegians and Swedes can communicate to some extent even though they use their own languages.

Foreign languages ​​such as English , German , and French are often used, and English has the largest number of speakers. Unlike other Western European countries such as Germany, English is spoken so well that it is possible to converse with store employees and taxi drivers. German has some speakers in the south, and Danish also has some speakers in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein . Most Danes can have basic conversations in English, but since it is a non-English language, the level is not extremely high.[43] Especially in rural areas, some people do not speak English at all, so if you want to enjoy tourist attractions in the countryside, it is ideal to know how to speak Danish.
