What attractions bring people to Denmark?
Denmark is a great country, rich in history and culture. A must-see is Copenhagen, for its winding streets and beautiful ocean-lit sunsets are breathtaking. Also, be sure to visit North Sealand, famous for its Kronborg Castle (portrayed in Shakespeare's Hamlet) and acres of untamed nature. For a more extensive guide, go to the Visit Denmark website, a great resource for planning your trip.
How do you say 'the end' in Danish?
'The end' = = 'Slutningen', but if we are talking about the end of e.g. a film, they would not use the definite case in Danish. They would just write 'Slut'.
Income taxes in Copenhagen Denmark?
Denmark has a progressive Income tax percentage, so your tax depends on the income. It will typically start around 40% - 45% of the total income and can for high earners reach approx. 60% MARGINAL tax (not to be confused with total/average tax percentage). This is the sum of municipal, health (formerly regional) and state tax (as I assume you mean in Denmark in general - not Copenhagen as opposed to another municipality in Denmark)
Denmark differs from almost all other welfare states by having practically no social contributions paid by the employer (as the revenue comes in via the Income tax instead). This means that Salaries and Income taxes are relatively higher than in comparable countries. This asymmetry can in some cases make in quite advantageous to work in Denmark, but reside in a neighboring country.

Who was the first ruler of Denmark?
The Kingdom of Denmark is a constitutional monarchy, with executive power with Queen Margrethe II as head of state. The first royal house of Denmark was established in the 10th century by a Viking king called Gorm the Old and today's Danish monarchs are descendents of the old viking rulers. Iceland was also under the Danish crown from the 14th century onward. It became a separate state in 1918, but did not end its connection with the Danish monarchy until 1944, when it became a republic. Greenland is still part of the Kingdom of Denmark. Today, Queen Margrethe II. reigns Denmark. Found at http://goscandinavia.about.com/od/historyart/a/scandinaroyalty.htm

'Why did the Danes sink their own battleships'?
Most nations sink their own vessels, so the enemy can't get them (leave nothing for the enemy). The Danes sunk their battleships because they were afraid the Nazis were going to find them. So the only way for them to be safe was to sink the battleships.
