Yeahhhh I don't even know. I do think that geography MUST be a factor, because in the America and England example, yeaaahhh, that was a solid couple of weeks by ship. I don't even know.
And that's a good point. Iceland/Greenland/Faroes have never had a military/relied on Denmark to protect them, so that could be a viable reason for them to have lived with him at least until they had home rule - which is a sign of self sufficiency, really. And then they'd just have to keep in close contact. It might be the same with invasions, though, and depend on geography (England and HALF HIS COLONIES) and personality. Denmark is totally the type to want to keep his "family" close and call them his kids; others, probably not.
