Kingdom of Denmark
In the Kingdom of Denmark, High Commissioners (Danish: Rigsombudsmanden) represent the Government of Denmark in Greenland and the Faroe Islands (two self-governing regions of the kingdom) and take part in negotiations on policies and decisions affecting their region (including negotiations with the devolved legislatures and the Danish parliament). Greenland and the Faroe Islands have one Commissioner each.

Famous quotes containing the words kingdom of and/or kingdom:
“...I do deeply deplore, of the sake of the cause, the prevalent notion, that the clergy must be had, either by persuasion or by bribery. They will not need persuasion or bribery, if their hearts are with us; if they are not, we are better without them. It is idle to suppose that the kingdom of heaven cannot come on earth, without their cooperation.”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
“...the kingdom of God depends not on talk but on power.”
—Bible: New Testament, 1 Corinthians 4:20.
