There is a petition gaining support for a proposal to buy California from the United States and transform Disneyland into “Hans Christian Andersenland.”
The petition has garnered more than 200,000 signatures, Fox Los Angeles reported.
“Los Angeles? More like Løs Ångeles,” the petition states.

The petition points out that Trump has not been the biggest supporter of California, having criticized it as “the most ruined state in the Union” and having had disagreements with its leaders. The petition speculates that Trump might be willing to sell California if the price is right.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the White House and the office of California Gov. Gavin Newsom for comment.
The petition’s crowdfunding goal is $1 trillion — “give or take a few billion.”
The petition notes five major incentives for Danes to support the plan: sunshine, California technology sector, avocado toast, protecting the free world and Disneyland, which would be renamed “Hans Christian Andersenland.”
“Mickey Mouse in a Viking helmet? Yes, please,” the petition reads.

If California were to become another territory of Denmark, the capital could be changed from Sacramento to Solvang, which is known as the “Danish Capital of America.” The city was founded by Danish immigrants in 1911 and is home to Danish-style architecture.
It’s also home to the Elverhøj Museum of History & Art, which explores the city’s Danish heritage.
