Lands of Denmark

Although Denmark was a unified kingdom, the custom of rendering homage to the King at the three individual assemblies remained.

During the early 19th century, Zealand and Fyn became administratively united as Østifterne with a provincial assembly in Roskilde.

Jutland, The Islands and Bornholm remains an informal subdivision still used, notably in meteorology and public statistics.

Bornholm is the only part to represent Scania after the rest of the region was lost to Sweden in 1658.

In recent decades, the less specific division between Eastern and Western Denmark has also become common, for example when describing logistic, economic and political patterns.
