- The archipelago is under illegal occupation of the Kingom of Denmark, because of the independence refendrum in 1946. It showed that 50.73 percent of the population wanted to become independent, and the archipelago declared independence after that. However, Denmark did not recognize the independence declaration, and the islands received de facto home-rule in in 1948. This caused a rapid growth of separatism in the islands, but no one made direct actions to receive independence, only movements were made. On 27.1.2016 one of the movements declared the Faroe Islands independent.

- The Faroe Islands have a silly name! The strange, strange, strange, strange, strange, strange, *Inhale* STRANGE saga of The Faroe islands begins in the year of 1243. In that year, Zrappakapadapodrafododgoyoudomomo aliens from the planet Yoyooyukimookigookililipoopoo XVIIXVI (Geez those are long names. Lets just call them the Zrappa aliens from the planet Yoyoo) came to earth. They were actually very nice aliens, and had only the best intentions for the world in their vast, Galaxy spanning minds. Among other things, they transplanted 50 or so Vikings, 12 Native Americans, Two Frenchmen, 45 or so 20something Women from the third world country planet Venus, An Anime Girl named Jane, and Peire of MOOooo; to a group of rock outcroppings in the midst of that harsh mistress, the Atlantic Ocean.
