As one of the world's oldest continuous monarchies, it holds a rich history within the [Nordic Region](/wiki/nordic_region).

This arrangement reflects centuries of shared history and distinct cultural identities within the kingdom.

Denmark itself is known globally for its robust [welfare state](/wiki/welfare_state) model, high living standards, and commitment to social equality.
