Follow me on:

A whopping 75.54% of Greenlanders voted for greater autonomy from Denmark. Beginning next June, Greenland will see a greater share of oil revenue, the official language switches from Danish to Kalaallisut, and Greenlanders will be considered as a separate people under international law. Greenland excluded itself from the European Union in 1985 to protect itself from EU rules on fishing.
