      January 4th: Greenland Premier states that Greenland is part of Denmark.

      Yes and no: it’s an autonomous country within the Kingdom of Denmark, which is what their PM reiterated.

      Kinda like Scotland within the UK, except autonomous.

        I don’t know that ‘country’ is exactly the right word, but yeah, it is a self governing and autonomous territory, that basically just exists within the legal framework / domain of Denmark.

        Internally, it controls itself with its own government, but as far as foreign affairs and the military goes, its a territory of Denmark.

        The majority of its population are Greenlandic Inuit, who’ve been there for thousands of years, Greenlandic is one of its official languages, along with English and Danish.

        Prior to all this nonsense, there had been increasing support from both Greenlanders and the Danish government to it being its own fully independent country.

        Brief history lesson and sitrep here:
