Danish campaigners are proposing to buy California from the United States and turn it into a territory of Denmark in response to Donald Trump’s bid to acquire Greenland. The ‘Denmarkification’ campaign says it seeks to crowdfund $1 trillion to purchase the US state, after which it plans to instill it with Danish values and make the most of its sunny weather and resources.

(…) Bosses from Danish toy giant Lego would run talks between the US and Denmark, Dutoit told Politico, because ‘dealing with children throwing tantrums over missing bricks has made them experts in negotiation.’ (…)

      Fun fact Denmark doesn’t have birthright citizenship. Trump could score a win in that regard by giving it to Denmark.

        To be fair, in the Danes bought California, and made it part of Denmark, you wouldn’t really be able to call or small anymore. California is roughly the same size as Germany+Austria.

        If Canada wants to make an offer for the Western seaboard, they should speak up soon
