Greenland would be the 12th largest country in the world by area, and is significantly bigger than Alaska. It's really big, even if the Mercator projection makes it look much bigger than it actually is.

But let’s put a finer point on:

What does Greenland have in common with the US Virgin Islands, PR, Guam/CNMI, American Samoa, etc? They are majority non-white.

Trust and believe that if Greenland were majority ethnically Nordic, will become the 51st state in record time.
