Everything about Rigsf Llesskabet totally explained
Rigsfællesskabet (officially rendered in English as the
United Kingdom of Denmark by the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs) is a
Danish term for the relations between continental
Denmark and its two self-governing
insular regions, the
Faroe Islands and
Greenland. Both regions enjoy far-reaching
home-rule introduced in 1948 and 1979, respectively. The
Constitution of Denmark applies to all three regions, and the home-rule agreement isn't enshrined in the constitution. Both the Faroe Islands and Greenland manage most of their own internal affairs, but most foreign relations are undertaken by Denmark exclusively on behalf of all three regions. One of the results of this arrangement is that Denmark is a member of the
European Union while both Greenland and the Faroe Islands have opted to remain outside of the EU. The
Rigsfællesskab shouldn't be confused with a
federation or a looser association like
the Commonwealth of Nations. It is one state with two self-governing areas, and as such it can be referred to as a
federacy. The Faroe Islands and Greenland are represented with two seats each in the
Danish Parliament but Denmark isn't represented in the legislative bodies of the two other regions.
