Danish Realm

The Danish Realm (Danish: Danske Rige; [ˈdænskə ˌʁ̞iːə] ) is a sovereign state and personal union, consisting of three constituent countries, each sharing Margrethe II as monarch and head of state. The constituent countries are the Kingdom of Denmark in the Scandinavian region of Northern Europe (accounting for nearly 95% of the Danish population), the Faroe Islands in the North Atlantic (approximately 225 kilometres north of Scotland), and finally the Danish Antilles in the northeastern Caribbean Sea.

All three constituent countries have their own parliament and parliamentary system including a prime minister and his/her cabinet; Margrethe II is the personal head of state within the Kingdom of Denmark, while the Faroe Islands and Danish Antilles each have a governor-general, who represents the Margrethe II as deputy-head of state. The governors-general are appointed by the Danish monarch on advice of the respective constituent country's prime minister.
