    In the @ArrivaMovie aliens also visit Greenland — under Danish flag. A reminder that Denmark is the largest European country.

        Russia isnt entirely in Europe. Only a small portion of it is so Denmark is the largest via Greenland

        Greenland is far from the European peninsula. Thus Tyson logic = Russia in Asia counts.

        If we accept Greenland as Denmark, don't we have to accept the commonwealth realm (uk+canada+australia+etc)?

        the Commonwealth realms are not subordinate to the UK, Greenland is subordinate to Denmark

        Greenland is part of the North American Continent so most of Denmark is not in Europe. :-)
