Geography[edit]
Denmark lies in Northern Europe and is the Southernmost Scandinavian nation. Denmark is made up of main peninsular Jutland, and the archipelagoes Fyn, Zealand, Lolland-Falster, and Bornholm. Denmark consists mostly of flat, arable land. The northern and central part of the Jutland peninsular is forested and the largest Danish river "Gudenåen" runs there as well. To the east on the island of Zealand lies the Danish capital Copenhagen, which is the only urban area in the state. Denmark borders German Reich to the south, separated by a channel, and connects to Sweden to the east. Denmark also owns the overseas territories of Iceland, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands. Denmark is surrounded by sea, with the North Sea to the west, and the Baltic Sea to the east.
Decisions[edit]
Restore Kalmar Union
With the conquest of all Scandinavian territories, it is time to restore the spirit of the Kalmar Union. All Scandinavia shall prosper under our rule.
Prerequisite
Denmark is fully independent.- Controls all mainland Danish states.
- Controls all Swedish states.
- Controls all Norwegian states.
Effects when selected
- Denmark will be known as
Scandinavia. - Gain cores on all Norwegian, Swedish, and mainland Danish states.
Proclaim Nordic Unity
The Nordics have long felt a certain affinity to one another. Now that we control all lands once belonging to the Nordic constituent states, is is possible to bring that kinship to new heights.
Prerequisite
- Denmark is fully independent.
- Controls all Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, and Finnish States.
Effects when selected
- Denmark will now be known as the
Nordic League. - Gain cores on all Nordic states (states belonging to the countries mentioned above.)
Historical Background[edit]
Denmark remained neutral in the First World War, and tried to do the same in World War II (like all other Nordic countries) but was invaded by the German Reich in 1940 as part of Operation Weserübung. The Danish military offered no significant resistance to the German aggression and Germany in return maintained very lenient occupation policies. Unlike Norway where Germany established a puppet government headed by Vidkun Quisling, Denmark maintained a stable constitutional monarchy, albeit under a government-in-exile. As the years went by, the number of acts of sabotage and violence from the Danish resistance movements grew. In 1943, the number grew dramatically, to the point that the German authorities became dissatisfied with the Danish authorities' handling of the situation. At the end of August, the Germans took over full administration in Denmark, which allowed them to deal with the population as they wished. Policing became easier for the Nazis, but more and more people became involved with the movement because they were no longer worried about protecting the Danish government. The Danish resistance movement is best known for their rescue mission in 1943, where 7.000 - 8.000 jews was secretly transferred to neutral Sweden.
Denmark regained its independence in 1945 after the fall of the Third Reich.
National Focus[edit]
- Main article: Generic national focus tree
Denmark, lacking a unique national focus tree, uses the generic national focus tree instead.
The generic focus tree has 5 main branches:
- Army Effort gives army experience and research bonuses to army research.
- Aviation Effort gives air experience, builds air bases, and research bonuses to air research.
- Naval Effort gives navy experience, builds naval dockyards, and research bonuses to navy research.
- Industrial Effort builds civilian and military factories (usually even if building slots are already full)and grants extra research slots.
- Political Effort gives the country choices on which political path they will take.
Technology[edit]
Denmark begins with three research slots available to the player.
| Army Technology | Naval Technology | Air Technology | Electronics & Industry | Doctrines |

Politics[edit]
Denmark starts out as a socialist democracy with elections every four years; the next falls on October 1939. The country begins with the Socialdemokratiet party in power under the leadership of Thorvald Stauning.
National Spirits[edit]
Denmark does not have any national spirits.
Diplomacy[edit]
As a Democratic country, Denmark has slightly positive relations with the same ideology (+10), and more strongly positive relations with countries that has a socialist ruling party (+20). Denmark has a slightly negative relationship with all Communist, Fascist, and Non-Aligned countries (-10).
Denmark does not have claims or cores on foreign soil, but it starts out in control of 
Iceland (+10) and has the ability to release them as a puppet. Denmark also controls the Faroe Islands and Greenland which contains strategic ports but not much else of interest.

Industrial Capacity[edit]
Denmark begins the 1936 campaign with a modest 11 factories, but little room to further expand capacity. The Danish mainland has 1 available building slot in Jutland, with another 2 slots open for construction in Iceland. Denmark has access to 11 Aluminum from the Jutland region.

Military[edit]
Denmark possesses a meagre military. Its 5 army divisions are all on the mainland, stationed in Jutland and Sjaelland. Sjaelland has a level 8 naval base, where the player will find Denmark's 7 naval vessels organized into Den Danske Flåde at the start of 1936. Denmark's Air Force is split into two groups: one wing of 12 fighters at Jutland's level 2 Air Base, and another wing of 22 fighters at Sjaelland's level 6 Air Base.
Denmark's Volunteer Conscription law will make it difficult for the player to initially expand the country's military. In January 1936, the country only has 23.13k free manpower. However, the player can choose to spend 150 Political Power to enact Limited Conscription and increase that figure to 57.76k. Subsequent conscription laws will increase this number further but inflict penalties on the industry and troop quality, and can also not be achieved as a democracy unless at war.
