The Capital With the Fewest People

Nuuk holds roughly 19,000 residents, making it one of the smallest capitals in the world — in a territory of about 2.2 million square kilometres, which works out to fewer than 0.03 people per square kilometre nationally.

The clock: Greenland moved from UTC−3 to UTC−2 in March 2023 specifically to narrow the gap with Denmark from four hours to three, and stopped realigning its clock changes with Europe's.
