Examples include and , names for a national road in Swedish and Norwegian. It is also present in the names of numerous institutions in all the Scandinavian countries, such as the agency responsible for oversight of the state finances in Denmark and (commonly known as just ), the central bank of Sweden.

The adjective form of the word, in Danish and in Swedish/Norwegian, means "rich", like in other Germanic languages. Rijk/ryk Rijk is the Dutch and ryk the Afrikaans and Frisian equivalent of the German word Reich. In a political sense in the Netherlands and Belgium the word rijk often connotes a connection with the Kingdom of the Netherlands and Belgium as opposed to the European part of the country or as opposed to provincial or municipal governments; the ministerraad is the executive body of the Netherlands' government and the rijksministerraad that of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, a similar distinction is found in wetten (laws) versus rijkswetten (kingdom laws), or the now-abolished rijkswacht for gendarmerie in Belgium. The word rijk can also be found in institutions like Rijkswaterstaat, Rijksinstituut voor Volksgezondheid en Milieu, and Rijksuniversiteit Groningen. In colloquial speech Rijk usually means working for the central government rather than the provincial or municipal, much like e.g. Americans refer to the "federal" government. In Afrikaans, ryk refers to rulership and area of governance (mostly a kingdom), but in a modern sense the term is used in a much more figurative sense (e.g. Die Hemelse Ryk (the heavenly kingdom, China)), as the sphere under one's control or influence, such as: die drie ryke van die natuur: die plante-, diere- en delfstowweryk (the three kingdoms of nature: the plant, animal and mineral kingdom) die duisendjarige ryk (the thousand year realm, the Biblical millennium) die ryk van die verbeelding, van drome (the realm of the imagination, of dreams) 'n bestuurder wat sy ryk goed beheer
