==== Regions and municipalities ====

Denmark consists of 443 islands. In 2007 the country created the division of five regions and a total of 98 municipalities, which mostly have a population of at least 20,000 people. This division was a part of the 2007 '''Danish Municipal Reform''' to replace the country's traditional thirteen counties (''amter''). At the same time, smaller municipalities (kommuner) were merged into larger units, cutting the number of municipalities from 270 to 98. The most important area of responsibility for the new regions is the national health service.

The five Regions of Denmark (in descending order of population) are:
