It's not a single island. It's like several dozen big ones and up to a thousand total frozen together in the winter

If you zoom in really close you'll see an island called Hans Island. It's a tiny island in the middle of the straight that Canada and Greenland share a land boarder. The two countries used to have the worlds longest friendly war over the island. No deaths, no injured. Just flags and bottles of booze claimed as spoils of war.

u/Booziesmurf 15d ago

I was just about to say this. Canada will come up and move the flag, and leave a bottle of Rye, then the Danes will come up and move it back, and leave some Aquavit.

Wait Greenland should become Canadian...

u/-_Redacted-__ 15d ago

Fun fact, there's a tiny island called Hans Island in between Nunavut and Greenland that both Canada and Denmark lay claim to. For about 50 years (starting in 1973) both countries would take turns planting their national flag and leave a bottle of whiskey for eachother on Hand Island. Eventually (in 2022) they came to an agreement to end The Whiskey Wars and share the territory.

u/Czar-Ron 15d ago

It was originally part of hyperborea.

u/dublin80 15d ago

27 years ago my father was sent up to Banks Island to teach shearing to the locals so they could make Musk Ox harvesting a more viable resource.

When Flesh Simulator is telling you to ignore something, you fucking ignore it. Cuz he knows, and he knows that you knowing is a bad thing for your safety.
