Yes, you read that right. The Danish Geodata Agency decided to create a 1:1 replica of the entirety of Denmark, buildings and street lamps included. The map is approximately 1TB (yes, 1 terabyte) in size and contains approximately 4,000 billion bricks. You can "download Denmark" if you have the space from their website, and...I dunno, be Danish I guess.
The Minecraft version of Denmark consists of about 4000 billion bricks. Simon Kokkendorf, an employee at the Danish Geodata Agency came up with the idea to use at as a teaching tool, and built it its surface area by incorporating the agency’s 3D elevation model into the game. Kokkendorf and his colleague Thorbjørn Nielsen then added more details like houses, lakes, rivers, lamp-posts, roads, and railways.

EDIT: A quick edit, it appears the download site will let you choose a 10km square area in Denmark that you can download, so you don't need to grab the entire 1TB map, you can instead grab a city or some other area.
