For all its excellent marketing, of course Denmark has issues much like any other country.

It's still a great country, just take the marketing with a hint of salt - a self certain smugness / hubris can easily make you blind to real problems.

It's mostly marketing. Danes, and other Scandinavians, love the idea that they are more honest then others. It's not correct in Denmark. I find Denmark to be a quite corrupt country

Tax-evasion in small scale called "sort arbejde" is quite common.

Former primeminister and current foreign miniater Lars Løkke Rasmussen is a interessant figure. He's famous for not even being able to pay for his own underware.
