Red, White and Green to Red, White and Greenland

Written by Schiavi di Don at 09:15 16/2-2021

  A few days after winning his own Cup, the Don woke up with a strange feeling. He was missing something. His house no longer felt like home. He needed a new purpose in life.
  
  What about buying a motorbike, he thought. Then he realized that he has already tried motor-driven bikes, and that he preferred his riders to be the only ones using them after that experience.
  
  What about taking up a new sport, like wrestling? But then he remembered the steroids he gave to some of his talents, and the impact they had on their digestive systems.
  
  How about a nice cruise around the world? This idea started to grow on the Don. Then he realized that his ecological footprint had already been spoilt by the amount of clenbuterol-injected beef he feeds his riders.
  
  At last, he got an epiphany. It was time to move to a different place. A change of environment would be great. After some considerations, he chose to move to Kullorsuaq, one of the northernmost villages in Greenland. Here he can enjoy the view, while bossing his riders around over the internet. Not that they won't be moving to Greenland, because a brand new high tech training facility has been built by them in Nuuk, the capital. Here the Don will try to recruit as many youngsters as possible to his new nations NT.
  
  Some say, that the Don got in trouble with Italian tax authorities, and has bought up large pieces of land in Greenland to profit from climate change effects revealing natural resources. We, Schiavi di Don, have decided not to comment on these allegations.

  First you move to Greenland, then you depart with one member of a respected mafiosi famiglia (the Barones) ... what are you up to?
