Greenland has a population of only 56k, so difference between zero and American numbers is literally 3 kills.
As they say, statistics are the worst kind of lies
Bingo. I'm sure people could make some great "murder is up/down 300%" clickbait headlines.
Yeah. Was thinking why is Greenland so high until I remembered Greenland doesn't even have 100k people in it, so any amount of homicides was gonna drag that number right up
a person is born in iceland
population doubles
-Mark Twain
Yeah, was referencing this
But also, Greenland has a ton of social issues. They're been transitioning from hunter-gatherer (well, mostly hunter) to "modern life" way faster than people in europe or the US did, while still living on a giant block of ice.
