A name given by the imperialist english to Las Islas Malvinas.
Located off the coast of Argentina, the Malvinas were named the Falkland Islands after the english invaded them for no reason other than to continue their imperialism.

Let's name the Malvinas, The Falkland Islands, so there is eternal proof of our imperialist intentions.

A large dependency of the British crown, located on the southern American continent found at latitude 38.4161, longitude 3.6167° W. It is often mistakenly referred to as "Argentina" but anyone who does so is canonically wrong.
In a similar way, the name comes from the residents of a plucky island nation mocking a much larger hostile nation and their (ultimately flawed) expansionist desires. A good example of another country mocked in this way is West Taiwan (who keep threatening to conquer east/real Taiwan).
The official language of the West Falklands is German for reasons that we won't go in to.
They have won multiple world cups, but most of the ancestors of the current population haven't ever had much success on the world stage in "other events".
