Well, I'm aware of the political situation, see below.

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.
