Denmark's population is just over 6 million.
Many countries like Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland, all have personal identification number, based on date of birth. It is fairly similar to the American Social Security Number but that does not require citizenship.
There are also countries that lack some form of personal identification number, such as Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. In Germany, it is illegal to have a single number that links all systems, which forces them to use different numbers for the same individual.
