Free Greenland!

Cool stuff.

The Arctic island of Greenland is assuming self-rule, in the latest step towards independence from Denmark.

The move follows a referendum on greater autonomy in November. It will see Greenland take a greater share of revenues from its natural resources.

The local government is taking control of the police and the courts. Greenlandic - - or Kalaallisut - becomes the official language.

Denmark has the final say in defence and foreign-policy matters.
