Greenland gained autonomy in 1979 within the Kingdom of Denmark. This autonomy was expanded in 2009. The Danish government and parliament handles foreign policy, immigration, citizenship, defense, the judicial system and some other minor areas, while the government and local parliament in Greenland handles legislation on all other matters. The ties between Greenland and Denmark are very tight and are not based solely on history, politics or money, but on strong family ties as well. Greenland is 54 times larger than Denmark. Greenland is the world's largest island, with a size of 2.175. 600 square kilometers. That area is larger than the following countries combined: France, Germany, Spain, United Kingdom, Italy, Greece, Switzerland, and Belgium. The population count is just under 57.000 with 19.500 living in the capital city of Nuuk located on the southwestern region of Greenland. All habitation is located along the coastlines as the interior of the country is covered by a massive ice sheet, three kilometers thick in the north central region. The northern most inhabited area is the settlement of Siorapaluk which is about 700 kilometers south of the North Pole.

Just for a laugh, in the nicest possible way, how do you think feeling would run in Greenland and in Denmark about an actual sale of Greenland to the United States? Ignoring any feelings you may have about recent events and people, Denmark has sold territory to the USA before-the USVI as I mentioned earlier. So it doesn't seem an unreasonable conversation to have. Is there pride or resentment or affiliation or antipathy that would favor or disfavor such a plan? Denmark could name its price, or just think of being free of the cost of supporting it for another thousand years. Is there anything about Greenland that Denmark desperately needs that does not involve cooperation with the United States? Unless you count Antarctica, it's the last true real estate opportunity on earth.

@@nichevo1 trump tried to buy us, but was firmly turned down by both the Greenlandic premier and the Danish prime minister. Trump didn’t like to hear the answer “no” so he insulted the Danish prime minister by calling her nasty. The reply was in Greenland was “we are open for business, but we are not for sale”. Of course, the US is the strongest military force in the world, and if they wanted to they could easily occupy us the way Germany did with a lot of countries during WWII, but Denmark is very strong alley and friend to the US on the world stage, and they are okay with the fact that Greenland is a part of the Kingdom of Denmark. A lot of people in Greenland are not in favour of independence for several reasons. Unfortunately, we have a few unrealistic and unprincipled politicians who try to gain favour with a certain segment of the population by japping about independence. Denmark is not just going to ditch Greenland. What people around the world fail to appreciate is the fact that the ties between Greenland and Denmark are not just based on history, politics and money. There are many very strong family ties, and blood is thicker than anything else. As family members, we may squabble and argue among ourselves but when there is pressure from the outside Greenland and Denmarks sticks together, as we did when that lunatic wanted to buy us.

While the Mercator projection exaggerates the size, what he said isn't incorrect - Greenland is still *massive.* It's the largest island in the world not considered its own continent (ie excluding Australia and Antarctica) and is larger than the next three (New Guinea, Borneo, Madagascar) combined. At well over 2 milllion square kilometers, Greenland would be the 12th largest country in the entire world, even when not including the other territories of the Kingdom of Denmark.

I remember a weird strategy game that had the option for "baby boom" for every nation. And it always increased population by 1.5 million in 4 years. When picking Greenland Population went from 50.000 to 1.550.000 in 4 years. That's 15 kids a year. Those Greenlanders are wild

actually Greenland did have a "baby boom" from around the 1950-70ies due to improvements in health care, education and other areas. The danish authorities wanted Greenland to have the same welfare state, as they where devloping in "mainland" Denmark. That meant an increase in babies born and the survivability, but the change towards a lifestyle based on a industrial welfare state, meant a great cultural shift away from the Inuit culture where you have greater connection with nature. You could argue that this change is still ongoing and has had given rise to many social problems like alkocolism and abuse in Greenland society.

Calling Greenland a "county" is pretty misleading. It's not a county, it's a COUNTRY. A country under the Kingdom of Denmark, but a separate country. They have their own parliament, their own police, etc. Same goes for the Faroe Islands. The Kingdom of Denmark contains three countries: not "counties" or "colonies"

Greenland can litteraly leave whenever it want. It's parliament have had the right to call a referendum since 2009. It doesn't because Denmark pays half of its budget, plus other forms of support. The economy and living standard would collapse if it left.

I'm not clear, other than a massive annual budget expense, as to what real benefit tiny little Denmark gets from having Greenland? Is it simply more of a strategic asset just for future rights? Its interesting how such a tiny nation like Denmark then owns such a massive piece of land, would either Greenland or the islands ever be able to function completely on their own without funding from Denmark? I highly doubt it

I do feel like it's kinda shitty that the Faroe Islands were denied independence. I do wonder, however, if they are self-sufficient enough to be independent. Greenland is very dependent on Denmark, and so, while it has it's own government separate from the Danish one, wouldn't benefit from being fully independent. But I don't know if the same is true for the Faroe Islands. It could be that the Faroese believed they were self-sufficient enough to be independent, and the Danes disagreed, and that's why they denied independence. But it could also be because they didn't want to lose the territory. If so, then that was a scummy thing to do.
