Republic of Greenland

The Republic of Greenland, commonly just called Greenland, sometimes called the Greenlandic Republic, was the result of Greenland after gaining independence from Denmark. Greenland started an independent republic that lasted two years, where in 2016 the government was overthrown and the Greenlandic Empire was established.

History
In 2014, Greenland eventually gained independence from Denmark after revolts and a referendum. 84% of Greenland wanted to secede as an independent nation from the Kingdom of Denmark, while 12% voted against. 4% did not vote. The Republic of Greenland was established on August 6th, 2016, with the capital at Nuuk.

New things were made and done for the independent Greenland. The Greenlandic koroonit was established as the currency of Greenland, and Greenland became a member of the United Nations on September 23, 2016. A Greenlandic military also started, and Greenland sent a request to join NATO in December 2nd, which NATO accepted.

However, two years later, the government was overthrown by a coup. They established the Empire of Greenland on July 2nd, 2016, and started the process of turning Greenland into a monarchy, ending the Greenlandic Republic.

Administrative Divisions
The Republic of Greenland was divided into 7 provinces.

Before independence, Greenland had 5 municipalities and one unincorporated national park. When Greenland declared independence as the Republic of Greenland, it turned all of the municipalities and the national park into provinces. The Northeast Greenland National Park continued to exist, but now was inside the 6th province, instead of being an unincorporated area. Later on, Greenland made a 7th province out of the eastern portion of Sermersooq, called Tunu.
