The Dominion of Rossland, commonly referred to as Rossland and less commonly Rossia, is a nation situated mostly in southern Greenland, which lies between the Labrador Sea and the Denmark Strait, bordered by Nunaqarfik to the north with Grinella and Danish Greenland to the south. The land that is now Rossland was inhabited for thousands of years by various groups of Inuit tribes. It wasn't until British colonialism in the late 16-17th century that British expeditions explored, and later settled, southernmost Greenland as well as the Americas. Rossland became an independent nation in 1959.
