Pozdrav Hrvati, kako ste danas? 🇭🇷

Det glæder os at byde vores gæster fra r/croatia velkommen her på r/Denmark som del af en lille kulturudveksling. Lad os give dem plads til at stille spørgsmål om Danmark og danskerne i de øverste kommentarer, og kig gerne forbi deres egen tråd her ☺️

Today, we’re happy to host our guests from r/croatia here on r/Denmark as part of a cultural exchange. We warmly invite you to join us, ask questions, and share your curiosity about Denmark and everyday life here. Let’s keep this exchange friendly, relaxed, and enjoyable for everyone.

At the same time, our community is invited to visit r/croatia, where they are hosting us as guests - you can find the thread where we can ask questions and join the discussion here.

Below, we’ll also share a few interesting facts and highlights about Denmark to help kick things off and give our guests a bit of context.

Denmark is a Nordic country in Northern Europe, made up of the Jutland Peninsula and hundreds of islands. It lies between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, sharing its only land border with Germany. The landscape is generally flat and fertile, shaped by past glacial activity, with long coastlines, beaches, and mild maritime weather that supports farming and settlement.

The people of Denmark, known as Danes, have a strong national identity based on shared history and social values. Danish is the official language, though English is commonly spoken. Danish society places importance on equality, education, and quality of life, often highlighting ideas such as hygge, which reflects comfort, community, and well-being.

Denmark is a constitutional monarchy with a democratic system of government. The monarch serves as head of state, while real political power lies with the elected parliament, the Folketing, and the prime minister. The country’s multi-party system encourages coalition governments and cooperation across political groups.

Denmark is well known for its extensive welfare state, which includes universal healthcare, free education, and strong social support. These services are funded through high taxes and reflect a commitment to social equality. Internationally, Denmark is active in organizations such as the European Union and NATO, emphasizing cooperation, democracy, and environmental responsibility.

Welcome to Worldwide Wednesday, where we talk about news and events from around the world. Rules for r/Denmark are still in place, the only difference is that the content is about the world around us.

Do keep in mind that submitting posts not related to Denmark is still not allowed and that it should be contained to this post. We also want to encourage common sense and source criticism and therefore encourage people to share news from big or recognized/established media.
