Sounds fake but still funny
I absolutely believe this is true.
This is a super small, super isolated town on the edge of nowhere. People in that town know whose kid is failing French and whose car needs an oil change.
Even if you were in favor of the sale, it would be worth your sanity to show Mrs. Veep any encouragement.
Nuuk has a population of 20k. That's small for a capital, but it's not exactly tiny.
I live in a village with 3k people and idk who the fuck anybody is. To be fair I don't go outside much, but even at 3k we're far from close-knit.
I know my family, I know the librarians, I kind of know but don't really interact with my immediate neighbors, and thats about it.
It depends how much people move around as well. In Nuuk, people will either be coming from outside Greenland (which will catch attention), or they are likely to have lived there a while and to be embedded in the community.
I grew up in the forest outside a town of 30 000 people. It's not like the city folks all knew each other, but they all "knew each other" in the sense that within the first 30 seconds of conversion they would place the other person within a family tree.
The line "I know your father" in my dialect is so common it's pretty much a local meme.
