Greenland is one of the least favorite countries to start in due to the fact that boats depart from Greenland with long intervals of time between departures (rarely over 8 ships per year), and it has no air nor land connections, and just one seaport.

Country Information[]

IG Factbook:"Greenland, the world's largest island, is about 81% ice-capped. Vikings reached the island in the 10th century from Iceland - Danish colonization began in the 18th century, and Greenland was made an integral part of Denmark in 1953. It joined the European community (now the EU) with Denmark in 1973 but withdrew in 1985 over a dispute centered on stringent fishing quotas. Greenland was granted self-government in 1979 by the Danish parliament - the law went into effect the following year. Greenland voted in favor of increased self-rule in November 2008 and acquired greater responsibility for internal affairs when the Act on Greenland Self-Government was signed into law in June 2009. Denmark, however, continues to exercise control of Greenland's foreign affairs, security, and financial policy in consultation with Greenland's Home Rule Government."

Tips[]

  • Water 2 and Extreme Bioaerosol are highly recommended for infection, and Cold Resistance 2 is recommended for aiding in increasing overall infection speed in the country.
  • Unless you want to remove the problem of infecting it, do not start your pandemic there.
  • Additionally, the Extreme Zoonosis ability allows animals to infect islands including Greenland, even if their ports have been closed down.
  • The Fungus, Simian Flu, Shadow Plague, and Neurax Worm can infect Greenland, even after their Seaport had been closed down using their non-standard methods of transmission.
  • Greenland has 3 research facilities and a population of 3 apes.
  • Moving a colony to Greenland can infect it once Hominidae Bridge is evolved. Having your first colony in Greenland and having it never move is necessary for the An Ape is for Life... achievement.
  • Greenland is good place to start the Shadow Plague, if you are pursuing a strategy of building the vampire's strength before unleashing the plague itself. It has a low population that can be quickly eradicated, and doing that to it and Iceland make it possible to reach the whole world from only 3 lairs.
  • If an another country sends a ship while Greenland close its seaports,this country can be infected.And thats one of the luck factors to infect Greenland
  • In Flight Club scenario,Greenland has an airport and a seaport. It's eaiser than normal game in this scenario

Trivia[]

  • Greenland is infamous among players, as it only has one seaport and no airports, and closes its seaports once it notices the players disease, such that it has two official t-shirts inspired by it. Go to T-Shirts for confirmation.
  • Greenland, along with other countries in the far north of the world, is one of the places where DrillZero, a fictitious company that appears at the moment of beating Frozen Virus in Cure Mode. can start mining the Permafrost layer.[1]
  • A news headline states, "US President buys Condo in Greenland - claims victory." This is apparently a reference to one of the gaffes made by former U.S. president Donald Trump, who, in 2019, floated the idea of the U.S. purchasing Greenland from Denmark, as if the U.S. could simply buy another sovereign entity, as one would simply buy real estate. (Though Greenland is technically a territory of Denmark, it is self-ruling: Greenland has its own government. International law does not permit such sale of sovereign entities—as one would expect, especially, a president to know.) Regardless, both Greenland and Denmark rejected the "purchase of Greenland" idea, and Trump was mocked by many throughout the world.
  • Greenland has the smallest human population in the game, with 56,483 people. It also has the smallest population of apes, with only 3 apes living in the country.
  • Greenland is the only country/self-ruling entity that is a territory of another sovereign entity, the Kingdom of Denmark (which, in Plague Inc., is subsumed under "Germany.")
  • In the Teleportation scenario, Greenland is one of the countries, along with other island nations, to which people choose to teleport, so that they might avoid being infected.
  • The helicopter used in the City Cam during General Disruption and Widespread Disorder is not a helicopter that is operated in Greenland, according to the Flickr photos utilized for the creation of the City Cam, it is a police helicopter used in the liberation of Czechoslovakia.[2]
  • In December 2019 the Armageddon expansion for Plague Inc. The Board Game was released, in which Tomorrow's World cards were introduced for some countries, among them a card was added where much of Greenland's ice has melted due to Global Warming, and the cities of Nuuk and Sisimiut have a hot climate.[3]
  • In Shut Down Everything,In a very short time, the prime minister of Greenland or Madagascar will talk about a complete quarantine of the country
