US President-elect Donald Trump has repeatedly voiced his desire to take control of Greenland .

The question is intriguing: How would one decide what to offer for an entire state, territory or nation? Greenland 's strategic position has been of great value to the US since the early days of the Cold War .

Valuing a country (or an autonomous territory like Greenland ) is no simple task.

Land is deeply tied to national identity and selling it off is often seen as a betrayal.

Nations are political, cultural and historical entities that resist commodification.

Greenland may theoretically have a price, but the real question is whether such a transaction could ever align with modern values and realities.
