The Kingdom of Denmark

Even though, Greenland is a part of the North Atlantic and Faroe Islands is a part of the North American Continent the two countries have been a part of the Kingdom of Denmark since the 14^th century.

Today both Greenland and the Faroe Islands have a self-government agreement with Denmark. The agreements transfer political competence and responsibility from the Danish political authorities to Faroese and Greenlandic political authorities, while the Danish government retains control of foreign affairs and defence.
