Kingdom of Denmark

Flag of Denmark

**Denmark**, officially the **Kingdom of Denmark**, lies in the cold wastes of Northern Europe. It is a Semi-Constitutional monarchy after the King and his cabinet took power during the chaos of Black Monday. It is ruled by the house of Oldenburg which is one of the most prestigious houses in Europe. Denmark was far away from the devastation of the Second Weltkrieg and was a supporter of the Reichspakt during the war. Denmark is not very strong being only the Jutland peninsula, its islands, and a nearly usless collection of overseas territories. Despite this Denmark is is tactically one of the most important locations in Europe, and its territory of Greenland witch is the closest the Germans can get their nukes to Canada. Denmark was declared so long ago that it is unkown the exact date of its founding making it one of the oldest in Europe. Denmark was on the winning side of the Weltkrieg and was able to avoid much of the devastation that coincided with it. Denmark is a member of the Reichspakt witch may be the saving grace of it allowing it to avoid much destruction.

## History

Denmark in the last decade has gone through much internal strife involving the Black Monday crisis witch due to the nation's reliance on Mitteleuropa caused its economy to crash. Denmark being thrown into chaos was only stopped by the forces of the King who would take control during this time of crisis and he and his cabinet would guide Denmark when the Second Weltkrieg beat down the doors of the nation. Denmark had a vested interest in joining the Reickspakt as it relied on its southern neighbor to sustain its economy but also was worried about losing access to trade with the dominance of the Union of Britan over north sea trade. Denmark throughout the war sent its troops mostly to the Eastern theater where while they did little to stop the collapse of the frontline they were able to stabilize the situation in Lithuania. But the main use of the Danish was their tactical position allowing Entente soldiers to station in Iceland and land in Scotland along with the main invasion in Wales. But also the location along the Black Sea witch kept the Russians from breaking out of the main bay near St. Petersburg. This position also kept the Iron coming in from Sweden and Norway witch kept the forges in Germany running and producing equipment. Because of this Denmark became a country with massive transportation infrastructure needed to keep the Iron supply to the rest of the Reichspakt. After the end of the Second Weltkreig Denmark continues to be a major transportation hub from the Reichspakt to the rest of the world where most exports from the Reichspakt leave to go to the rest of the Atlantic.

## Military

The Military of Denmark is small and very weak compared to the rest of the Reichspakt being only stronger than Courland and Semigalia. Denmark like the Netherlands has a powerful navy and both play similar roles in the wider Reichspakt. Denmark's control over Greenland puts in in an interesting position to host nuclear weapons aimed at the Entente.

### Army

Denmark's army is mostly ceremonial and holds little water in an actual conflict. Despite this its military would still be able to garrison the country and could serve a defensive role in the event of a Third Weltkrieg.

### Navy

Denmark's navy is where most of its power is from witch holds several cruisers and is one of the stronger navies in Europe. However much of the use of Denmarks navy comes from the naval base in Greenland where it could provide a striking distance to Canada. Despite this the Navy of Denmark is still far weaker compared to nations like Germany and is more comparable in strength to Sardinia than to the Netherlands.

### Air Force

Denmark built only a small air force during the war as it was not really required for its defence. But Denmark does maintain one that could provide a threat to Canada if built up properly,
