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.
