Greenland is an autonomous country within the Kingdom of Denmark, located between the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans, east of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. Though physiographically a part of the continent of North America, Greenland has been politically associated with Europe for about a millennium. In 1979, Denmark granted home rule to Greenland, with a relationship known in Danish as Rigsfællesskabet [The community of the Kingdom], and in 2008 Greenland voted to transfer more competencies to the local government. This became effective the following year, with the Danish royal government remaining in charge only of foreign affairs, security and financial policy, and providing a subsidy of DKK 3.4 billion ($633m), or approximately US$11,300 per Greenlander, annually. Greenland is, by area, the world's largest island that is not a continent. It is the least densely populated country in the world. The bedrock in the centre of Greenland has been pressed below sea level by the weight of the ice sheet. Thus, if the ice melted, much of central Greenland would be under water.
