København

Capital of a Nordic empire with far-reaching borders since the 15C, Copenhagen is today the centre of a conurbation of 2 million people, and the largest city in the Nordic region. Symbolised by the \BLittle Mermaid\b, model of a libertarian way of life as seen in \BChristiania\b, the city is both a bustling centre of activity and a relaxing environment.
