It's not really that central, every single eurozone country is south of Denmark. Denmark is only at the periphery of the eurozone.
Well, you have Finland in the north-east, Ireland in the north-west, and every land border faces a Euro-zone country. Few other countries can claim the latter.
Canada is not a Euro-zone country.
And also, Ireland is south of Denmark.
"Every land border"...There is only one...
Edit: and looking at a map, actually several countries have "every land border" to eurozone countries. Portugal, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg all fit that one, several with multiple land borders even. That's 30% of the eurozone countries.
Denmark does in fact have a very small land border with Canada - this happened quite recently and is pretty funny. So it's actually 2! 😄
That true...so it doesn't even share every land border with the eurozone! 😅
Some of those probably have some tiny overseas territory for which that is not true.
overseas territories would probably be island states, so they're unlikely to have a land border to any country at all. But sure, maybe there is some. But then the Danish/Canadian border would count too, making it untrue for Denmark as well.
Spain has land borders with 3 non-EU countries...
