Falkland Islands are a British overseas territory in the South Atlantic Ocean, to the east of the region of Patagonia in the south of South America. Falklands are a self-governing territory, a parliamentary dependency under the British Crown. Head of state is Queen Elizabeth II, represented here by the governor. Local currency is the Falklands pound, backed by the pound sterling. Official language is English. The Falklands are the part of the European Union.

These islands are a subject of a long-term territorial dispute between the United Kingdom and Argentina, which led to a severe armed conflict in 1982. After the war, the dispute has not yet been resolved.

The core of the local economy is the primary sector. 95% of the population are employed in agriculture. Such sectors as oil exploration and tourism has seen development after the war.
