History UsefulNotes / Greenland

** Monarch: Margrethe II

Whilst part of the Kingdom of Denmark, Greenland is an autonomous country with its own separate government, much like the UsefulNotes/FaroeIslands.

* '''Area:''' 2,166,086 km
(836,330 sq mi)

** High Commissioner: Mikaela Engell

** Speaker of the Inatsisartut: Hans Enoksen

* In episode 1-4 of ''Series/{{Borgen}}'', a scandal regarding the use of Greenland as a stop in the transport of American prisoners, leads Birgitte to fly to Greenland and conference with the PM of Greenland.

Greenland ('''Greenlandic:''' ''Kalaallit Nunaat'', '''Danish:''' ''Grønland''), owned by UsefulNotes/{{Denmark}}, is a huge overseas territory in Northern America and the largest island on Earth, home to a mere 56,000 people. Often cited for the extreme temperatures that it can reach, Greenland is home to the northernmost piece of land on Earth, Kaffeklubben Island.

Like UsefulNotes/{{Iceland}}, Greenland escaped the UsefulNotes/{{Nazi German|y}} occupation of Denmark during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII. While Iceland was occupied by UsefulNotes/{{Britain}}, Greenland was occupied by the UsefulNotes/UnitedStates. Unlike Iceland, it returned to Danish rule after the war's end.

* The traditional sea song "Greenland Whale Fisheries" tells of a whaling accident in the Greenland sea which takes the lives of several whalers (supposedly commemorating an event of the first half of the 19th century, though different versions of the songs give differing dates). In the last stanze the dejected whalers sum up their impression of Greenland as a bleak and inhospitable place.

* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasandFerb'' has an episode that takes place in Canada and has a villain from Greenland. Professor Bannister is from Greenland, and he hates the National Anthem, and lack of pride. So, he wanted to actually steal the country of Canada. He joined the villain organization L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N., hired three burglars to steal some parts from Seattle to make statues of him, and even plotted to steal the moose from Canada to transfer it to Greenland. He even wrote a new national anthem for it. Doofenshmirtz had to turn down the offer, because "The plan is unnecessarily complicated, and doesn't work." And during the credits, Major Monogram apologizes on behalf of the series for all the negative Greenland stereotypes, and yet, makes no mention of all the Canadian stereotypes.
