The language is everywhere Danish, and the vast majority of the population has been baptised into the established protestant church. Denmark is therefore nationally and culturally very homogeneous. The greater Copenhagen region accounts for c. 1.79 million inhabitants. In addition the entire country is otherwise covered by a network of medium-sized towns. Danish agriculture is highly developed, producing a considerable surplus of manufactured foods which are exported to other countries.
Industrial production is very varied in relation to the size of the country.
Among the commodities that have made Denmark known abroad are, in addition to agricultural produce, beer, medicines, furniture, shipping and products of the advanced metal industries. Both agriculture and industry are highly effective. Denmark is well provided with traffic systems. Kastrup near Copenhagen is the largest international airport in the country and is at the same time a crossroads for air traffic to and from the other Scandinavian countries. Denmark has an open economy, and trade with the rest of the world is of great importance.
