Falkland Islands

The Falkland Islands are an archipelago in the South Atlantic Ocean, comprising East Falkland, West Falkland, and 776 smaller islands, with a total area of 4,700 square miles. The islands have a population of 3,662 inhabitants, primarily native-born Falkland Islanders of British descent, with a small minority of other ethnicities. The Falklands have internal self-governance but the UK is responsible for their defense and foreign affairs. The islands' sovereignty status is disputed between Argentina and the UK, with a 2013 referendum showing almost all Falklanders voted to remain a UK overseas territory. The economy is based on fishing, tourism, and sheep farming, with oil exploration remaining a contentious issue due to maritime disputes with Argentina.learn more on wikipedia
