On this map, you can see why Denmark's capital is Copenhagen. When Denmark controlled Scania and Schleswig-Holstein, it was much more centrally located than today. The borders of Denmark in this map correspond roughly to the borders before the Treaty of Roskilde.

it's also weirdly accurate to where people might commute to copenhagen today
