Greenland is a country. It's a country that's part of Denmark.

Countries can in fact be part of other countries. It's allowed.

It’s not a country. Its government is the government of Denmark.

Firstly no it isn't, they have an independent prime minister, and secondly that isn't the definition of a country anyway.

It's an independent self-governing region which Denmark provides for. It's like 4 seconds to Google this.

Then why isn’t it listed in the official list of participating countries?
