I am trying to persuade my roommate to become king of Greenland. He is a forceful enough guy, a leader type, and besides is mostly Danish, which is good because Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. Since 1979 it has been self-governing though...the door is wide open. Greenland is lonesome for its hero.
Besides there are only 59,000 people in Greenland. This is about a quarter of Lincoln's population. With a little determination, hard work, and some hobnobbing with the Inuits it shouldn't be hard to convince 30,000 people he is the man for the job. Then just think of it: a frozen wasteland over 3 times the size of Texas at your command!
