The pope doesn't directly choose his succesor but he does appoint the cardinals who do the voting. Still not really a monarchy though (although it certainly isn't a democracy either).

EXPLODED TIM! (Help me!!!)
People commonly refer to the Vatican as a monarchy and the word monarch comes from the Greek as outlined below, which fits the Vatican set up. San Marino is a duarchy as were the Kingdoms of Scotland and England during the reigns of William and Mary.
Not all monarchies are hereditary monarchies for example Malaysia which is a constitutional elective federal monarchy.

From: Proposals for the United States to purchase Greenland - Wikipedia
Olesen of Aarhus University.[21] Poul Krarup, editor-in-chief of Sermitsiaq, said that the American interest started a new domestic debate that might result in the island becoming more autonomous or independent from Denmark. He said that Greenlanders do not want to sell to the United States but want to cooperate as an equal partner, suggesting that Trump visit the island instead of Denmark to negotiate. While a majority of Greenlanders prefer Denmark to the United States, most prefer the latter to China.[24] Another Greenlander hoped that Trump's interest would cause Denmark to "wake up and show Greenland some respect. A lot of Danes think everyone here is just a drunk Inuit. But now that America wants to buy us, maybe they can see there is much of value here".[96] A third said that "for hundreds of years [Danes] earned many, many billions of kroner from Greenland" while neglecting Greenlanders, and hoped that the American attention would give them more power when negotiating with Denmark.[89]
Krarup said that Greenlanders, who Trump offended with his offer, were also angry at Denmark for discussing Greenland without them. While Trump needed to "change [his] attitude", Krarup hoped that the president's interest would change the island's political situation.[24] Among Greenlandic politicians, Folketing MP Aaja Chemnitz Larsen said that the Danish government was already treating her island differently because of Trump. Frederiksen's "Greenland is not Danish. Greenland is Greenlandic" statement was, Gad said, the first time a Danish prime minister said that the island had some control over foreign or security issues.[89] Pele Broberg of Partii Naleraq stated that with the American willingness to replace the Danish subsidy, Greenland had an alternative to Danish disinterest in Greenlandic independence. While rejecting a purchase he said that Denmark was not better than the United States, which already can do what it wants in Greenland. He proposed that the island begin the process in Danish law of becoming independent, and negotiate directly with the United States for American military and financial support.[97][98][99] Steen Lynge [da] of the Democrats agreed, stating that Greenland should use Trump's offer to become independent of the Danish subsidy.[100]

If the transaction can be performed at arm's length in a fair manner, why not? I'm up for a second Louisiana purchase
This type of territorial purchase, historically, is nothing out of the ordinary
You won't mind if China or some other empire purchases the US, then?
My answer assumes consent of the parties. Why do you think about the Greenlandissue?
Greenland should be independent.
The usual suspects will crop up, as they do every time a nation seeks self determination, and say its not possible. That it will suffer etc.
If Greenland or anywhere else is subjected to an imperialist grab, the people will hopefully fight back.

60,000 people fighting back against the US?
We'll see how this goes, but Greenland going for independence now would mean quickly being left at the mercy of the US, even if not formally a colony. How long would the US honour any subsidy? Universal free health care, for example, is a given while under Denmark.
I would have thought US sabre-rattling would make Greenlanders less likely to vote for independence, not more.
