The Republic of the Drake Islands (also known simply as the Drake Islands) is a republic consisting of six small islands south of Iceland in the northern Atlantic Ocean. Originally settled by Icelandic settlers, the islands came under English control in the 16th Century. An influx of immigrants from the United States (and later, Canada, Europe, and Africa) further populated the islands and sought independence from the United Kingdom and the United States, who had joint custody of the islands after World War II. They would achieve their goal of independence in 1984. Since then, the nation’s vibrant economy has made them a small but significant player on the world scene.
