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
Make Scania Danish Again
Seconded, if Danes would take the hot potato out of their mouth and start speaking proper Swedish. :p
The question is, do Scanians speak proper Swedish?
Depends, when actually speaking Swedish only with Scanian accent, they are ok to understand, but when switching to Scanian – impossible, but in a different way than the Danes.
You either want the danes, or you want someone else who doesnt speak danish, you cant have both
