      No one knows. The creator decided that a source and a year of collection were not relevant information.

      After the danes loosened their grip on Greenland it got a highly developed state and has some of the best data collection anywhere. An interesting anecdote is that their healthcare system is free, but lacking in certain areas, statistics not being one of them. You probably only notice Greenland now, because it shows up as a part of the Americas.

        It’s a joke about how Greenland often appears on maps like this as “no data”, along with extreme isolationist countries like North Korea and disputed areas like Western Sahara.

        Greenland being “no data” is a running joke, like New Zealand not appearing on the map at all.
