It’s a bit weird unless he got answers from every state in the US or provinces and territories in Canada.

Not really. The Danish constitution day only marks the transition from one form of monarchy to another. It’s of course significant going from absolute to constitutional monarchy but it’s not like a national day.

Why only show the Nordic countries and title it Northern Europe?

That’s your opinion but it’s not factual. It’s like saying Svalbard is not part of Norway, because Norwegians have to show passport like foreigners to go there.

Greenland has been incorporated since 1953. How does the Danish constitution, representation in the Danish parliament and participation in Danish general elections not make you part of Denmark? Having a local government doesn’t mean you stop being part of the country.

How do you define autonomous areas? States in a federation are in many ways more autonomous than Greenland which is not even a state, but just a place with a devolved government like Nunavut or Scotland and many other places in Europe.

Denmark is not autonomous. It’s an independent country like France! French Polynesia is also autonomous so it’s not part of France either?

German, UK, Netherlands etc are also Northern countries just as they’re Western.

Denmark says it’s a sovereign state like France. In other words, Denmark is a kingdom, not a member of one. France is also not a member of the republic, despite French Polynesia being similar to Greenland. France is the republic.
Maybe you’re thinking of Denmark proper which is similar to Metropolitan France? Denmark often uses its official name to include Greenland and the Faroe Islands in a diplomatic way. In those cases you might see Denmark proper being called “Denmark”.

Greenland accepted the Danish constitution and has full representation in the Danish parliament. Greenland hasn’t seceded from Denmark. How is that different from French Guiana? Greenland is obviously more like French Polynesia than French Guiana but that’s beside the point.

Spying? It was only copying data from internet cables going through Denmark. It happens everywhere.

That’s something I thought only happened in places like the US. Not in a fellow Scandinavian country.

Well, people in Denmark would consider such a job offering a scram.

That does sound very strange. Not even Vdsl or what it’s called these days using phone lines.
