It is irrelevant info. Greenland is NOT a part of Denmark, no more than
Gibraltar or the Falklands being a part of the UK. You obviously can't
understand this.
You are as usual incorrect. Greenlands current political situation
is that its a semi-atonomous region under the Danish Crown
Its electors vote in Danish Parliamentary elections and the
currency in use is the Danish Krone. Denmark retains control
of foreign affairs and defense. It is in fact in the same position as
Scotland and Wales , having a devolved assembly with limited
powers

Government type: Home rule in national union
with Denmark
In accordance with home rule, Greenland retains extensive
powers of self-government while remaining under the Danish Crown.
The Folketing (the Danish parliament) has transferred almost
all legislation to the Landsting (the Greenlandic parliament)
but the Folketing and the Danish administration retain control
over some areas of government. Greenland's voters elect two
representatives to the Folketing.
Language: Greenlandic and Danish
Currency: Danish krone (DKK)
That can be said for far away British possessions too. Geographically it is
not Denmark nor on the same Continent either.
