[[Ringkjøbing County]] used an old spelling of its name, while its capital city and state authorities used the modern Danish spelling, [[Ringkøbing]].

The archipelago [[Ertholmene]], located northeast of [[Bornholm]], have never been a part of a municipality, county, or (from 2007) region. Statistics Denmark calls them [[Christiansø]] and [[Ertholmene|Frederiksø]], named after the two inhabited islets. They are included in numbers for Denmark (92 inhabitants; 0.39 square kilometers). The land area of Denmark is 42,394 square kilometers.
