Not exactly.
First off we dont have Amts any more as they have been changed to something else .. basically massive Amts but called something else.
Secondly those are all nice words and such about Greenland, but the reality is different. For example, if a Greenlander gets arrested and convicted, he or she can be held "forever" for some reason. Basically there is a disconnect between the legal status of Greenlander criminals and Danish ones. Another example is that Greenland does not have a prison to hold its criminals, so they are exported to Denmark.
Basically Greenland is still a colony and is often treated as such when it suits mother Denmark.
The main differences, of course, are that Greenland was never an independent country that Denmark had granted diplomatic recognition to (as the US had to Hawai'i) and Greenland is moving towards full autonomy (which would be considered treason if Hawai'i tried it).
Greenland will never have full autonomy.
1) The riches in the underground that Trump wants, well Denmark aint gonna give that up to a bunch of drunk seal hunters.
2) The present Greenland administration is fully dependent on money from Denmark and would not have the financial ability with full autonomy to run a society that they are use too. There is no university in Greenland, so they would have to send their young out to become doctors and such elsewhere. With 55k people, making an University aint exactly a given.
3) The social issues within the Greenland population is a serious one that it is simply not possible to be fully autonomous and even the Greenlanders admit this. Alcohol abuse is a MASSIVE problem.. think American Indian reservations. Only real difference is how they became abusers.
Well, if you don't consider policing, judicial system, company law, accounting, and auditing; mineral resource activities; aviation; law of legal capacity, family law and succession law; aliens and border controls; the working environment; and financial regulation and supervision you are quite correct.
They are not fully in charge of any of those and not able to take fully charge of most of them.
The Greenlanders have more or less the same "skin pigmentation level" as the Danes do. You don't think that that might have something to do with the difference, do you?
LOL no they dont. They are an inuit people, so they have closer ties to the American and Canadian Indians and inuit populations than Danes.
Listen I am proud of having Greenland as part of my nation, but I am not proud of how we have treated them and in many ways still do. But at the same time most Greenlanders will agree with me, that they have some serious social problems that are quite unique and frankly are holding their population back. It is the age old fight between keeping to traditions while trying to get benefits of the 21st century... it does not always work well.
