You appear to use the administrative divisions of Denmark -
almost. If you want to continue to do that you should
include all "amter" (there are 14 of them) and write the
full names.
The other option is to use "geographic" divisions of
Denmark. You usually split Jylland in four, group the
islands south of Fyn with Fyn, and group the islands south
of Sjælland with Sjælland. Bornholm either goes in a
separate division or with Sjælland.

Ribe is a small town (50,000 people) quite far from Billund,
but it gives name to the "amt" both Ribe and Billund are
situated in.

Copenhagen is actually not a part of "Københavns Amt" (just
to make things difficult :-)

Adm: "Nordjyllands Amt"
Geo: "Nordjylland"
It is of cause not quite the same areas.

I don't think it's necessary to add Fredrikshavn.

Adm: "Ribe Amt"

It is of cause again not quite the same areas.

This is one of the funny things in Danish politics at the
moment (besides the war of cause). People in Billund feel
that they are too far from Ribe, and much closer to Vejle.

You definitely need a section for Sønderjylland or
Sønderjyllands Amt.
- Esbjerg is located in Ribe Amt but in Sønderjylland (if
you ask me).
- Sønderborg is located in Sønderjyllands Amt.

If you switch to geographic regions; yes.
Sjælland includes the administrative regions:
- Københavns Amt
- Københavns Kommune
- Fredriksberg Kommune
- Fredriksborg Amt
- Vestsjællands Amt
- Roskilde Amt
- Storstrøms Amt (partially)
"Øerne" refers to the islands south of Sjælland which all
are in Storstrøms Amt.
I guess that "/loc/dk/kb/ Københavns" was supposed to refer
to Københavns Amt.

I will add my comments up to two suggestions:
The "administrative solution":
/loc/dk/ht/ Hovedstadsområdet (København, Roskilde)
/loc/dk/bo/ Bornholms Amt (Rønne)
/loc/dk/fy/ Fyns Amt (Odense)
/loc/dk/nj/ Nordjyllands Amt (Aalborg, Fredrikshavn)
/loc/dk/rb/ Ribe Amt (Ribe, Billund, Esbjerg)
/loc/dk/rk/ Ringkjøbing Amt (Ringkøbing)
/loc/dk/st/ Storstrøms Amt (Nykøbing)
/loc/dk/sj/ Sønderjyllands Amt (Sønderborg)
/loc/dk/vj/ Vejle Amt (Vejle)
/loc/dk/vs/ Vestsjællands Amt (Slagelse, Sorø)
/loc/dk/vb/ Viborg Amt (Viborg)
/loc/dk/ar/ Århus Amt (Århus, Randers)
- too many groups
+ no doubt about where a town belongs (you can always look it up at
<URL:http://www.danmark.dk/hr/owa/danmark.find?omraade=blank&omraade=alt>).
The "geographic solution":
/loc/dk/nj/ Nordjylland (Fredrikshavn)
/loc/dk/vj/ Vestjylland (Ribe)
/loc/dk/oj/ Østjylland (Århus, Randers, Vejle, Aalborg)
/loc/dk/sj/ Sønderjylland (Sønderborg, Billund, Esbjerg)
/loc/dk/fy/ Fyn (Odense)
/loc/dk/sj/ Sjælland og øerne (København, Roskilde, Nykøbing)
[ /loc/dk/bo/ Bornholm (Rønne) ]
+ few groups of roughly equal area
- difficult to lay down the borders in Jylland
Play well,
Jacob
