Denmark is divided into five regions, and below them into 98 municipalities, or kommuner: the tier that runs primary schools, care for the elderly, local roads, planning and waste. Every Danish address sits in exactly one, and it is the name on the sign at the edge of town. This page is the whole list, grouped by region the way the game groups it.
The map is the post-2007 one. The structural reform that year merged 271 municipalities into 98 and set a floor of about 20,000 inhabitants, and nearly every municipality since has been a merger of several old ones, so the names are often a pair joined by a hyphen (Faaborg-Midtfyn, Ikast-Brande, Ringkøbing-Skjern) or a new name for a region the old ones shared (Vesthimmerland, Jammerbugt). A map or list from before 2007 has shapes that no longer exist.
Scale varies sharply. In Jutland the municipalities are large and rural, with Viborg and Ringkøbing-Skjern among the biggest. Around Copenhagen the opposite is true: the capital's ring is a tight cluster of small suburban municipalities, and Frederiksberg is an enclave entirely surrounded by Copenhagen. Dragør, on Amager beside the airport, is hardly bigger. A handful are whole islands: Læsø in the Kattegat, Samsø, Fanø off the west coast and Ærø in the south, with Bornholm out in the Baltic.
The names are Danish, and the game asks for them as they are written. Copenhagen is the one English name, since Danish spells it København. The letters Æ, Ø and Å sort at the end of the Danish alphabet, which is why Ærø comes last in a Danish list, and Aa is an older spelling of Å that survives in Aarhus and Aabenraa.
Frederiksberg: a small municipality entirely surrounded by Copenhagen, with its own mayor and council. It is the easiest to lose on the map, because it is small, and it is the answer for anything that looks like central Copenhagen but is not.
Bornholm: a granite island at 15 degrees east, administered as a single municipality and part of the Capital Region. It is the only one with no neighbour, and anything in the sea to the east of the map is this one.
Fanø: a small island off Esbjerg, reached by a ferry from the port of Esbjerg. Its beaches are wide enough to drive on, and it is a municipality of its own, one of the smallest in the country.
98. The 2007 structural reform merged 271 into 98, and there have been no changes in the number since.
Bornholm, Læsø, Samsø, Fanø and Ærø are each a municipality on their own. Others, like Langeland, Lolland and Odsherred, are islands or part of one.
A separate municipality that is wholly surrounded by the municipality of Copenhagen. It has been independent of the capital since the 1850s.
Aa is the older way of writing the letter Å. Aarhus, Aalborg and Aabenraa kept it as official spellings after the letter was introduced in 1948.
The ring around Copenhagen, where a dozen small municipalities share long borders, and the pairs with a shared word: Hørsholm and Hillerød, Frederiksberg and Frederikssund, Holbæk and Holstebro.
Danish. In the south of Jutland near the German border some signs also carry German names, and the Faroe Islands and Greenland, which are not part of this map, have their own.
The tier above this one is Denmark Regions. The other European administrative maps here are Norway Municipalities, Sweden Municipalities and Finland Municipalities.
