Thousands of people have signed a petition supporting a “Denmarkification” petition to purchase California from the United States, while also turning 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. 

“Have you ever looked at a map and thought, ‘You know what Denmark needs? More sunshine, palm trees, and roller skates.’ Well, we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make that dream a reality,” the campaign website reads. “Let’s buy California from Donald Trump!”

“Let’s be honest – Trump isn’t exactly California’s biggest fan. He’s called it ‘the most ruined state in the Union’ and has feuded with its leaders for years,” the petition states. “We’re pretty sure he’d be willing to part with it for the right price.”

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.
