Much worse than Canada in relation to the US, because Canadians don't have to endure Americans telling them that we gave them their ability to read and write, which is what the Danes tell the Norwegians.

The Danes suck. Those bastards are sorry they let us go now that we have all the oil and money in the world. All they got was fucking Greenland.
We might just buy Denmark and Sweden, I am thinking turning Sweden into a parking lot, and Denmark into a cotton plantation.
They may stay on to work as valet parkers or cotton pickers if they want though.
