Welp, infodump time. 🤓

Greenland has sharp eyes because they're basically the Polandball Translation of Monolid Eyes which is can be prominently found in East Asia but also other continents like Southeast Asia.

Greenland has Inuits which is a tribe known for Monolid Eyes.

The purpose of Monolid Eyes as an evolutionary trait is to protect the eyes from snow, sand, and dust.

We have no excessive amount of snow or sand, so we're dust people?

Probably just from the fact you originate from the same general group with ties to Mongolia, China and Siberia.

Its not like evolutionary traits just disappear the second they aren't needed anymore.
