Denmark is divided into 13 counties (amter, singular amt), and 271 municipalities (kommuner, singular kommune):
Aarhus
Frederiksborg
Funen (Fyn)
Copenhagen (København)
North Jutland (Nordjylland)
Ribe
Ringkjøbing
Roskilde
South Jutland (Sønderjylland)
Storstrøm
Vejle
Viborg
West Zealand (Vestsjælland)

Three municipalities have county privileges:
Bornholm (regional municipality)
Copenhagen (København)
Frederiksberg

Copenhagen County comprises the municipalities of metropolitan Copenhagen, except Copenhagen Municipality and Frederiksberg Municipality. Bornholm Regional Municipality comprise the five former municipalities on the island Bornholm and the island’s former county.

It should be noted that as of July 2004, the government is in the process of a structural reform (the Municipality Reform, Kommunalreformen). The 13 counties (amter) will in 2007 be replaced with 5 new regions (regioner), while the 271 municipalities will be consolidated into around 100 larger units of at least 20,000 inhabitants and take over most of the responsibilities of the current counties.

Greenland and the Faroe Islands also belong to the Kingdom of Denmark, but have autonomous status and are largely self-governing, and are each represented by two seats in the parliament.
