      Puerto Rico isn’t a country, yet it is green on this map.

      Greenland isn’t a country, yet it is shaded a color.

      The purpose of a map is to convey geographic information. What you seem to be looking for is a dictionary.

        Greenland is a country. It’s a country that’s part of Denmark.

        Countries can in fact be part of other countries. It’s allowed.

            Firstly no it isn’t, they have an independent prime minister, and secondly that isn’t the definition of a country anyway.

            It’s an independent self-governing region which Denmark provides for. It’s like 4 seconds to Google this.
