Many islands also make up the country, including the islands of Jutland, Zealand, Funen, Lolland, Falster and Bornholm. Many of these larger islands are connected via bridges. The Faroe Islands and Greenland are also autonomous provinces of Denmark with home rule.
Denmark`s climate is temperate- this means that the Winters are not particularly cold and the Summers are cool. It is a windy country, with stronger winds during the Winter than the Summer.
Denmark runs under a constitutional monarchy. The Monarch formally appoints and dismisses the Prime Minister and other Ministers. The Prime Minister is chosen through negotiation between parliament party leaders, not by popular vote.
