Which European country is split into two main parts separated by the Baltic Sea?
Answer
Finland
Finland consists of mainland Finland and approximately 188,000 islands along its eastern and southern coasts in the Baltic Sea. While not officially separated into distinct geographic regions the way some archipelagic nations are, Finland's island geography is prominent. However, the question likely refers to Denmark, which consists of the Jutland Peninsula and numerous islands including Zealand (containing Copenhagen) and Funen, separated by straits and water channels.
