As of, today, Greenland is now officially and independent country!
Free from the rule of Denmark.

The least densely populated country in the world just means it has a lot of space to grow!

Yea, it was it's own country but technically a part of Denmark.
However, today it is fully and officially independent.

One step closer to global popular sovereignty! Eventually no one will have to live under another countries borders, (or jurisdiction) except their own!

OK, I'm semi joking with all this but honestly, congrats Greenland!

I did not think people even lives there. The vikings tried it and they all died.

So it finally happened. I wish the population of Greenland luck with this!

Never knew they weren't independent anyway. Cool.

So, is the size of the government equal to the size of the population?

^ You're boycotting windmills? How? LOL

I hate them too, they just spoil the landscape and the ratio cost/benefit is not good enough.

I suppose you could not eat any grain that is grinded by a windmill, or not use it's electricity.
Good thing MWH can stop that now, I'm sure his boycott was crippling Denmark

I refused to use their electricity or to build them any where near me. Good thing I live in the US where we don't like alternative energy. Tongue
 
And I actually like windmills. Big smile

You're right. But on that note:

I got 115!
I knew all of North and South America, most of Europe, a good chunk of Asia but Africa did me in...
