 | | Denmark is a constitutional monarchy with an unbroken link of monarchs for more than 1000 years (except for an interregnum of eight years 1332-1340). |
 | | The current monarch, Queen Margaret II, has largely ceremonial functions; probably her most significant formal power lies in her right to appoint the statsminister (prime minister) and cabinet ministers, who are responsible for administration of the government. |
 | | Denmark emerged from two referendums (June 2, 1992, and May 18, 1993) with four important exemptions (or "opt-outs") to the Maastricht Treaty on the European Union: common defense, common currency, EU citizenship, and certain aspects of legal cooperation, including law enforcement. |
