NORMALLY Denmark refers to Jutland, Zealand, Funen and the islands scattered around the Danish waters. Yet the Faroe Islands in the North Atlantic and Greenland, which is part of the North American continent, also belong to the Kingdom of Denmark but have autonomous regulations.
Culturally and linguistically speaking, the northern and the southern parts of the kingdom are very different, which is also due to the fact that 15,000 people who belong to the German minority live north of the Danish-German Border in North Schleswig.
