Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which country does Greenland belong to?"
Greenland is an autonomous country of the Kingdom of Denmark. Although it is still part of the Kingdom of Denmark, it was granted self-government in 1979. Denmark continues to exercise control of Greenland's foreign affairs, but Greenland actively participates in international agreements relating to Greenland. More than three-quarters of Greenland is covered by a massive ice sheet that's up to 2 miles thick. With a population of about 56,672, it is the least densely populated territory in the world. About a third of the population live in Nuuk, the capital and largest city.
