Zealand
The biggest cities in the Zealand area are Roskilde and Køge, which are located relative close to Copenhagen. The region has a population of 0.8 million people with a lot of provincial cities with people commuting to Copenhagen. Zealand has its own university located in Roskilde. The area suffers in general from unemployment in remote areas, but is also is in need of specialists within software development and engineering. The region is loaded with small and medium sized companies, so you would not find the biggest companies here. You can enjoy a quiet and cozy life in the provinces, not really being that expensive to live and still have the Capital in nearby distance according to a well functioning regional train-system.
