Greenland
A vast island with a tiny population: coastal towns are not connected by roads, and people move between them by plane and boat. Prices are very high because everything is shipped in, and housing is limited and often tied to an employer. Winter is long and freezing with polar night in the north, summer is short and bright, and the shipping season opens for only part of the year. Work concentrates in the public sector, fishing and tourism, while logistics and weather will move your plans regularly.
