Dominica vs Greenland
Dominica has 1.2× the population of Greenland: 65,871 vs 56,831, a gap of 9,040. Greenland is shrinking more slowly (−0.01% vs −0.51% a year), adding about -5 people a year against −333. Using continuous exponential growth from the stated base year, if these rates held, Greenland would overtake Dominica in about 30 years (from the 2025 population bases, around 2055) — a projection, not a forecast. Dominica is the older society: 13.2% aged 65+ against 11.5% in Greenland, while Greenland has more children (20.7% under 15 vs 17.6%). Dominica is 640.1× as densely populated (88.7 vs 0.1 people per km²). People in Dominica live 1.0 years longer on average (71.3 vs 70.3). GDP per capita is 5.3× higher in Greenland ($58,499 vs $10,989).
