The Kingdom of Denmark occupies the peninsula of Jutland and more than four hundred island in northern Europe. Governed as a constitutional monarchy, the State is a well established democracy with a modern developed economy. Greenland and the Faroe Islands are also governed as autonomous constituent countries. In recent years the State has been criticised over its anti-terrorism legislation as well as its use of solitary confinement for children in conflict with the law.
