Economy
Denmark is a wealthy, technologically advanced economy that pairs a generous welfare state with flexible labor markets — the so-called 'flexicurity' model — and consistently ranks among the world's most competitive and least corrupt nations.
An EU member that retains its own currency, the krone, Denmark runs a strong export economy and is a global leader in green energy, particularly wind power.
Strengths include pharmaceuticals (home to global giant Novo Nordisk), shipping (Maersk), wind-turbine manufacturing, machinery, food processing and agriculture, and a high-value design and services sector.
