- Someone called Russel in Canada wrote to me, that there is a top level
- domain called .gl for Greenland.
-
- Almost everything in Denmark is small, except Greenland, so a list
- over nodes in Denmark, using .dk didn't reveal any sites from
- Greenland. That's why I asked.

- In fact it is a modern kind of colony. Greenland have two
- representatives in the Danish Parliament, and Greenland receives large
- amount of economical support from Denmark. Many laws in Denmark is
- valid for Greenland too, in fact, it has to be stated in the law
- text if it is not valid on Greenland and the Faroe Islands.
-
- The police on Greenland and on the Faroe Islands are just departments
- of the Danish Police.
