The 5 regions of Denmark
Denmark has 5 regions. This page lists all of them.
The table shows the English name first. The Danish name is accepted as an answer too, and it appears in the second column.
English names and local names
The quiz shows English names, because that is what most players type. It accepts the Danish name as well.
Accent marks do not matter. The quiz folds accents before it compares, so a name typed without them still counts.
Abbreviations are not accepted. A short code is ambiguous, and one code often matches the start of another name.
About the regions
The five regions are the largest unit of local government in Denmark. Their main task is the health service.
The regions date from 2007, when they replaced 13 counties.
Greenland and the Faroe Islands are self-governing parts of the Danish Realm, not regions.
