Danish Realm

thumb
The Danish Realm,[g] officially the Kingdom of Denmark,[i] or simply Denmark,[j] is a sovereign state consisting of a collection of constituent territories united by the Constitutional Act, which applies to the entire territory. It consists of metropolitan Denmark—the kingdom's territory in continental Europe and sometimes called "Denmark proper"[k]—and the realm's two autonomous (but not sovereign) regions: the Faroe Islands in the North Atlantic and Greenland in North America.[17] The relationship between the three parts of the kingdom is known as rigsfællesskabet (the unity of the realm).[l]
