509 Questions
Greenland is a province of what country?
Actually, Greenland is no longer a province of Denmark but an autonomous country that is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. Autonomous meaning it is self-governing but it is still a part of Denmark. So, more accurately, it is a territory (the largest in the world by area) of Denmark.
Greenland can't be an M.E.D.C. since there is hardly anyone living there, and no international trade routes to speak of either.
Why are Iceland and Greenland named the opposite of their climates?
Although it is much greener than Greenland, there is a lot of ice in and around Iceland. Although naming the large subcontinental island "Greenland" may have been an attempt at deceptive promotion to the Vikings, it does have greenery along the coasts, more than some areas in Norway or northern Canada.
Calling it Whiteland or Snowland would have been redundant.

Do they have internet connection in Greenland?
I don't think that Greenland do have internet, because there is a website called Google Insight. If you go on that it tells you how much things have been researched.
How do you know that North America was once joined with Greenland?
Geological and paleontological evidence supports the idea that North America was once connected to Greenland. Studies of rock formations and fossil records indicate that both regions share similar geological features and ancient species, suggesting they were part of the same landmass. Additionally, plate tectonics and continental drift theories explain how the continents have shifted over millions of years, leading to their current positions. These findings collectively point to a historical connection between North America and Greenland.
How did inuit find food in the past?
Hunting, fishing, and gathering naturally growing plants, such as berrries.
How can you have a parliamentary system and a monarchy system in Greenland?
Greenland operates as an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, which has a parliamentary system and a constitutional monarchy. The Danish monarch serves as the head of state, while the local government in Greenland has its own parliamentary system that manages internal affairs. This dual structure allows Greenland to maintain its governance while being part of the broader monarchy of Denmark. Thus, Greenland has its own legislative body, but the monarch's role is primarily ceremonial and symbolic.
Are there land marks in Greenland?
Yes, Greenland is home to several notable landmarks, including the stunning Ilulissat Icefjord, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its massive icebergs. The northernmost town, Qaanaaq, offers unique cultural experiences and breathtaking Arctic landscapes. Additionally, the Greenland National Museum in Nuuk showcases the island's rich history and Inuit heritage. The dramatic peaks of the Watkins Range and the vast expanse of the Greenlandic tundra also contribute to its natural beauty.
