The 2008 Global Peace Index survey ranks Denmark as the second most peaceful country in the world, after Iceland.
Denmark was also ranked as the least corrupt country in the world in the 2008 Corruption Perceptions Index, sharing a top position with Sweden and New Zealand.
About 9% of the populations have foreign citizenship. A large portion of the foreign citizens are of Scandinavian ancestry, while the rest are of a variety of nationalities.
Denmark’s population (as at 1 January 2008) was 5.4 million.
Danish is the official language and is spoken throughout the country. English and German are the most widely spoken foreign languages.
