Why does Denmark, the "fairytale kingdom", disguise itself as a small European country?
Denmark is a small country in the world, which is just an illusion, and this does not count the entire territory of Denmark.
Greenland and the Faroe Islands are two islands connecting Denmark, and these two islands are actually part of Denmark, and with these two islands, Denmark's area is no longer one of the world's top 130 countries, and it will become a great power. What exactly is the reason?
Denmark is not a complete landlocked country, the whole country is composed of multiple islands, the entire coastline of the country is very long, Denmark is a small population but a particularly high economic level of the country. Denmark's financial adequacy can greatly improve people's living standards, so the happiness index of the Danish people is generally high.
Greenland, the largest island in the world, is located between the Arctic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, and because of its proximity to the Arctic, the temperature here is very low and the climate is cold. Such an extreme environment has led to a sparse population here, even now Greenland is still as usual, due to the unique environment, the tourism industry here has become Greenland's pillar industry, and Greenland is rich in mineral resources and rich oil resources, it can be completely self-sufficient without relying on Denmark.
The Faroe Islands are a small area, the climate is mild and rainy all year round, the local port is not unusable due to freezing, and the fishing industry is very developed due to the vast sea area. Since the land is too small to transport too much goods, and the economic level here is high, why are these two places not recorded in the Danish range?
The two regions had long since separated from Denmark and became maritime autonomous regions outside Denmark, and Denmark could not interfere with them, and the Faroe Islands did not become truly autonomous until 1948. At that time, Denmark joined the European Community, which was a big blow for Greenland, and Greenland had to apply for secession from Denmark.
