Denmark

Definition

Denmark is a country in Northern Europe, known for its strong welfare state, high standard of living and being one of the world's happiest countries. It is part of the Scandinavian region.

Analogy

Think of Denmark as a cozy, well-organized library. Just like how libraries provide resources and services to all visitors equally (books, internet access), Denmark provides comprehensive social services to all citizens (healthcare, education). And just like how libraries are quiet yet full of knowledge and culture, Denmark may be small but it's rich in history and cultural heritage.
