A small windswept archipelago in the North Atlantic, where sheep outnumber the human inhabitants.
An autonomous, constituent country in the Kingdom of Denmark, its capital city is Tórshavn.
The national anthem of the Faroe Islands is: "Tú alfagra land mítt" (Thou, fairest land of mine)
Situated south-east of Iceland, northwest of Orkney and Shetland isles, and west of Norway.
Home to over ~50k people, many of whom live in the capital city of Tórshavn, and in their native tongue they call themselves the 'føroyingar', and they call their islands 'Føroyar', which is generally believed to mean "sheep islands".
While being only a small ethnic group, on isolated islands, the Faroese have protected their language from foreign influence through folk songs and oral sagas, which have also recorded the epic history of the Faroe Islands.

Get the Coney Island steamer mug.A now-defunct massively multiplayer online (MMO) game released in March 2017 as the successor to the classic children's MMO Club Penguin, which was discontinued on the same day. The game served as a last-ditch effort to continue the franchise following its predecessor's decline in popularity and resulting demise. It was poorly received due to its initial mobile-only release, lack of content at launch and, like its predecessor, locking most features behind recurring paid membership. Due to a combination of these factors as well as competition from social media and other forms of children's entertainment, the game was a commercial failure. Club Penguin Island, and with it the Club Penguin franchise, was discontinued in December 2018.

Get the Falkland Island Flickergooning mug.An offshore province of New England dat had previously been separated from da mainland country and thus only reachable by boat or plane, but now has a vehicle-compatible bridge out to it.
Prince Edward Island is a good example of a "road island" in dat it used to be accessed mostly by car-ferries, but a bridge connecting it to Nova Scotia was eventually constructed.
