Denmark

Denmark is a country in western Europe, its capital is Copenhagen. The Danes speak Danish natively but like in other Nordic countries most people in Denmark can also speak fluent English.

Denmark is a social democracy, where the people enjoy more personal freedoms and are happier than in most other countries around the world. Denmark ranked #1 in 2007 as the happiest country in the world. Their strong sense of community and care for the environment around them has allowed for these people to become independent and happy. Government provides for its people instead of controlling them, and Denmark serves as an example to the rest of the world of what government should be: an institution to serve the people, not to control them.

Another interesting fact about Denmark is that over 75% of its citizens do not beleive in a higher power or organized religion. This combined with the happiness statistic proves that neoconservative view that Christianity is necessary for a civilized society to be wrong. Denmark is your proof for that. It should also be noted that former U.S. President George W. Bush would most likely be very uncomfortable if he ever dared to visit Denmark, as would Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly, or any number of the other conservative capitalists.
