Greenland is part of the Danish state, and people living there are Danish citizens. However, because Greenland is self-governing, it's normal for the state authorities not to put the laws into effect on Greenland right away. It's simply specified in the laws, that they don't apply to Greenland and the Faroe Islands, but they can be applied later on.
That creates a situation where Greenland has old laws compared to Denmark proper. In this case I know that if you as a foreigner applies for Danish citizenship on Greenland, you are not required to have the newest language and citizenship tests like in Denmark proper.
The state and self-governing authorities are working on updating the citizenship rules, so they are the same or close to be the same throughout the Danish state.
Well yes, as you currently don't need to learn Danish to apply for Danish citizenship, if you are living on Greenland or the Faroe Islands. You simply need to have a conversation with police in a Greenlandic or Faroese language instead of the Danish language and written citizenship tests.
How drunk was the 3-year-old who tried to draw New Zealand?
At least NZ is on the map this time
Can you really call that NZ?
Nah, Zero.
It's unclear If the Folkting law on dual citizenship has been put in effect on Greenland.

I would have assumed (as I heard greenlandic citizens get Danish passports) that you would have the same thing with dual nationality.

OK - so theoretically if one wanted an "easier" time getting Danish citizenship they could apply through Greenland? That would be a loophole?

But they are updating the rules as we speak.
Would not have known that 🤔
I'm going to say that North Korea does not allow dual citizenship.
Actually...

But basically no.
