What are the Faroe Islands? 

Straight to the point, no bs, very informative. Subbed. Can’t wait to visit those islands!

From Florida, the cool weather sounds inviting.

Lovely islands, populated by those Norwegians who got seasick on the way to Iceland and had to be left there 🙂 Nice people who have in fact got over their seasickness to the extent that per capita they probably catch more fish than anyone else.

The weather's not too great, but the flag is a big plus!

One reason that they are not independent is because they have a very small population of less than 50,000. Sure, some countries, even in Europe (such as Liechtenstein), have smaller populations, but I'm sure that is a factor.

Thank you. That added to what I had seen and heard in another video on the Faroe Islands.

I'd like to visit, looks beautiful.

been here, it’s amazing and scenic. very developed and modern as well, even for such a small country.

Great video - thanks. Small correction at 02:20 - Sucession should be Secession. You succeed when you achieve your aim or follow a precedessor. You secede when you leave a union.

"What are the Faroe Islands?" It's an archipelago in the north Atlantic. Beautiful, simply beautiful.

Nice work bro, interesting

The Faroe Islands is the home of Folk Metal greats Tyr. If I were Denmark, I'd try to claim them as my own too. 🤘🏼

The faroese parliament was against declaring independence in 1946. The lagtingsformand did so on his own without any legal foundation. Combined with a majority against him in local parliament and number of invalid votes outnumbering the difference between yes and no sides, the danish government correctly decided not to accept the declaration. Next time I am sure the support for independence will be much greater. They are effectively ready for all practical purposes.

My day was not wasted again cause I learned something new!

Dry good thank you

It was monks from Ireland who got there first. Mykines ( one of its islands)means pig island in irish

Thank you for the video. A small correction: You can not take the FIFA or UEFA to account for what is a country. When "England" plays a match against "Germany" in an international football game then it is the team of the FA against the team of the DFB. The FIFA and UEFA just list accepted football associations that is why "non-countries" like the Faroe Islands but also England, Wales, Scottland, Nothern Ireland, Gibraltar, .... are independend in FIFA even though they are not otherwise. Hint: You could find your own football association and could bribe the FIFA to be accepted. Then you could particpate with your friends in the qualifiers to the World Cup. ;)

Well, they are a collection of rocky things sticking out of the North Atlantic belonging to Denmark and good for seabirds, fish and almost certainly sheep because what else can you farm on rocky islands in the North Atlantic?

They may earn incomes similar to that in the US but what do imports cost in comparison? How do retail prices compare?

what are the faroe islands? first guess would be a group of islands. Am I close?

Over two-thirds of the Faroes population came down with Covid, a percentage surpassed only by San Marino. But only 28 died from it, below the world average.

thanks. where did you get that US economy chart? intresting

Kalmar Union also includs Sweden, and Finland, that was part of Sweden back then

No underwater roundabout mention.

What I want to know is: are the Faroe Islands part of the Schengen zone? As Danish territory they may be, but as an independent country they may not be? Can’t find any info anywhere…

It's the place where they have the annual dolphin slaughter...that place...

I think you confused the Kalmar Union with Denmark-Norway. Somewhat different things historically.

Windy, wet, cloudy and cold. Do their young people mostly emigrate? I think I would.

According to CGPGrey, the people of the Faroes are Danish citizens, but not EU citizens.

Simple answer: Vertical and wet

Stong guys up there

I think this is where Tanic landed.

Remaining with denmark is the smart decision. Self governance is great, and they have it, but its better to be represented by the danish globally.

What citizenship do they have?

So like Denmark's Australia? Independent but with the Danish queen as head of state?

My ancestry was traced to those islands…I as black man I was shocked Lol

Is the Faroese language similar to Danish?

Islands?

idk man - islands maybe?

I assume there's sheep/cattle/hogs?, any geothermal energy like Iceland?, fly in only?or is there ferry service?

It is a country, as are Greenland, Scotland, England and Wales. Constituent countries ARE countries. Country is not synonymous with independent.

It is in the name: They are Far øf anywhere. I'll get me coat...

Faroe? I know them as Färoer.

Färörör

British parliament be like, let the Welsh have it, as long as they pay their taxes then that's it.

I know the faroe islands because I conquered it in crusader kings 3

Isn't it the place where they kill dolphins in huge numbers by clubbing them to death!?

And the Whales?

Why i didn't include Wales? Wales is technically part of England. But the British government is just being too nice, to let them "act" as if Wales is a country of their own.

Gotta be honest, I clicked thinking it said, “Farore” and I thought this was a Zelda video

Despite the name, the Faroe Islands have never had anything to do with Egypt lol

Gotta be honest, thought the title was, “Farore” and this was a Zelda video.

0:14 Please dont include Ireland in the “British Isles”! The term is incorrect for many reasons, some of the reasons are it’s geographically incorrect and officially out of use since 2005 😊. Maybe just “Britain and Ireland” would be better

Ouch, seeing that the USA has a higher GDP/capita then a place like Denmark is scary since the poverty n unemployment rates in the USA r so damn high n yet the massive wealth of its 1% still make the country as a whole seem like it can compete with European nations that have a much higher standard of living. P.S. I’m not from the USA or Europe so no bias here, just a mild surprise to add to the mountain of depressing thoughts about the world. Like while typing this comment I notice 2 globe icons show up in my iPhone word suggestions when I wrote “world” but 1 was centered on the Americas n the other on Europe n Africa but not Asia n when I came to edit my comment to add this fact I wrote “globe” n suddenly got the 3rd option of an Asia centered globe. But still no Pacific Ocean centered one but I guess a blue sphere wouldn’t get the point across 😹. But all this has me wondering if my phone was paying attention to the places I was typing about when it decided to suggest only western globe emojis when I wrote “world” or if apple is just western centric by design cuz if it was based on my location I imagine I wouldn’t have had options n just gotten the one emoji with my continent. I’m still half asleep so hopefully I have not bored u with my morning thoughts :P

It’s the land where people slaughter dolphins after trapping them.

They are the Faroe Islands because they are far away

BOYCOTT if you care for Whales or Dolphins.

Faroe island status as a "country" is not much different from Scotland and Northern Ireland in the United Kingdom.

The theory of millions of years was just that. A theory. There is more evidence that points toward creation than evolution. The rest of your commentary was fine. I would love to visit the islands sometime in June or July.

That’s where the people have an age, old tradition of slaughtering pilot, whales, and dolphins every year. It’s absolutely one of the most horrific grotesque and disturbing things I have ever seen. I would not visit the Faroe Islands…..

Why they are a bunch of islands,obviously.

The quicker the Faroes joins its closest neighbour, Scotland,the better!

whale slaughterers is the term i would use

Everybody knows where and what they are. They are part of our EU.

Wow English language and linguistics just hit a new low. You guys are definetly inable to translate and pronounce names from other languages, even other germanic ones! smh "Færøyene" as the islands are named, means "sheep islands". Fær, får and so on means sheep. Øy, øe, oe means island. The english has somehow got the idea to call it "faroe islands" (so sheep islands islands..?). "Faeroys" would be more accurate.

they are one of the last places that massacre dolphins en masse in the name of 'tradition'. Its utterly barbaric and 100% unnecessary. If you met someone from the Faroes, ask them why the massacre dolphins rather than being civilised.

Million years ago? BS!

I would add that dishonorable people inhabit them
