UPDATE – I found the original website and it’s even better than we thought.
Part 2 - This was started in Feb 2025 when tRump first proposed taking over Greenland.

What began as a joke on social media has snowballed into one of the most talked-about political satire campaigns in Europe this year. More than 200,000 Danish citizens have now signed a viral petition proposing that Denmark buy the U.S. state of California, a tongue-in-cheek response to former U.S. President Donald Trump’s past interest in acquiring Greenland.
Under the fictional proposal, Californians would be welcomed into the Kingdom of Denmark with a package of benefits that reads like a parody of Nordic governance. The petition promises “rule of law, universal health care, and fact-based politics” as immediate perks of Danish administration.
To underscore the absurdity, the organizers also pledge a lifetime supply of Danish pastries for all 39 million residents of the state. The petition’s website jokingly notes that while Denmark cannot solve every problem, “we are very confident about pastries.”
The satirical plan goes further, outlining a full cultural “Denmarkification” of the West Coast. Los Angeles would be rechristened “Løs Ångeles,” while Danish-style cycling infrastructure would spread across cities more famous for traffic jams than bicycles.
Even California’s most iconic institutions are not spared. Disneyland would be rebranded as “Hans Christian Andersenland,” a nod to Denmark’s most famous storyteller, Hans Christian Andersen. The petition cheerfully asks readers to imagine fairy tales replacing cartoon mascots, and even suggests that Viking helmets might become standard park attire.
Count me in for being absorbed by Denmark!
That was LAST YEAR!
Yup. Just saw articles from Feb 2025.
Good thing is they’re up to 285k now!
Oh damn, don’t tease me with a good time. I’m not a rich man, but I’d make a donation to help pay for the purchase.
Texas or Florida would have been a much more appropriate choice. Trump doesn’t even like California.
Maybe he’ll just give it away then
No one wants to buy Florida.
I don’t know. Is there a country of Shreks out there somewhere? They might want to buy the thing.
Can we just put Florida up for sale?
I think it’s psychologically important for Denmark to own California
Why is it even part of the US? Just because some ships have been landed there? Well, danish has landed there too.
Shit, wait for me to get there first!
All sales of California include a complementary Washington State, and yes, it’s mandatory.
Oregon and Hawaii too
As a spokesperson for CA citizens, we’ll take it! Please and thank you.
Only if they take Washington and Oregon too.
As a WA state resident, we require inclusion in the deal. In fact, you buy 1 California and receive a complimentary WA state for free! Act now, and receive a special-one-time Oregon while supplies last!
If it were up to me Canada would buy us. I heard their getting China EVs soon.
Would you be fine if we just made you EU members instead of a state? That might make things less complicated. And would piss Trump off even more.
The Californian Republic would definitely have the most interesting flag in the EU. Too many tricolors, not enough bears.
An overland route between Mexico and Canada that doesn’t go through the US, that could be interesting.
Fuck that if they just want the bay area I’m in.
Can other states join? Asking for friends.
I’ll happily start learning
DutchDanishWhere do I sign?!
I, for one, welcome our new Danish overlords!

You gotta keep the Bear.
Maybe have the bear and the swan both!
Hey listen: California is vital for Denmark’s security, for some reason. Also, the Danish prime minister was snubbed for the Nobel Peace Prize, so that means that they’re going to invade us if we don’t comply with the sale.

Canada wants to buy Minnesota. They seem like our kind of people.
Please buy all the west coast. We’re like triplets and don’t want to be parted. /puppydogeyes
Don’t tempt us with a good time.
Also, can you take MA too? We have lots of neat bioscience stuff, tons of universities, and a similar dislike of orangeboi.
I would give the Danes a bundle deal. Buy California and I’ll include all the Blue States.
