Islands of the Kingdom of Denmark
The Faroe Islands are one of those places most people have never heard of or don't know where they are. These little mountainous islands are a part of the Kingdom of Denmark (kind of like how Canada is related to the United Kingdom). It is a sovereign nation which retains stronger diplomatic ties to Denmark than most other nations. Most folks from the Faroe Islands will gruff and grumble if it is suggested they are Danes. Some of those living on the islands today have ancestors dating back to when the Faroes were first colonized by the Norse in 400 A.D., making the grumbling of the locals that they have their own non-Danish heritage very justified.
