What is the least densely populated country in the world?

Barbara Clark Revis While Greenland now maintains a great deal of autonomy, it is not yet a fully independent country. Here are the eight requirements for independent country status with regard to Greenland: 1. It has space or territory which has internationally recognized boundaries: yes 2. It has people who live there on an ongoing basis: yes 3. Has economic activity and an organized economy. A country regulates foreign and domestic trade and issues money: mostly, although the currency is the Danish kroner and some trade agreements remain the purview of Denmark 4. Has the power of social engineering, such as education: yes 5. Has a transportation system for moving goods and people: yes 6. Has a government which provides public services and police power: yes, although defense remains Denmark's responsibility 7. Has sovereignty. No other state should have power over the country's territory: no 8. Has external recognition. A country has been "voted into the club" by other countries: no Greenland reserves the right to seek complete independence from Denmark but experts currently expect that such a move is in the distant future. Greenland will need to try on this new role of increased autonomy for a few years before moving to the next step on the road to independence from Denmark.

Greenland is not a country, but i s a dominion of Denmark. Bad question.

There is a lot of chatter about whether Greenland and Tibet are actually countries. Note the Q states country - not an independent country. But where on the world map is Mongolia?

Poor question. Too much ambiguity regarding Greenland's status as a country.

Kay Van Natta, Laughlins answer wasn't well constructed it was well copied.

I agree with Gaetano! 'Since the 1700s, Greenland has been a territory controlled by Denmark. In recent years, however, Greenland has regained a considerable level of autonomy from Denmark. Correct answer is Iceland!

Tibet is not a country, it is a province im China.
