The Faroe Islands or Faeroe Islands or simply Faroe(s) or Faeroes (Faroese:
Føroyar, meaning "Sheep Islands", Danish: Færøerne, Old Norse: Færeyjar) are
a group of islands in Northern Europe, between the Norwegian Sea and the
North Atlantic Ocean, roughly equidistant between Iceland, Scotland, and
Norway. They have been an autonomous province of the Kingdom of Denmark
since 1948, making it a member of the Rigsfællesskab. The Faroese have, over
the years, taken control of most matters except defence (though they have a
native coast guard), foreign affairs and the legal system. These three areas
are the responsibility of Denmark.
The Faroes have close traditional ties to Iceland, Shetland, Orkney, the
Outer Hebrides and Greenland. The archipelago was politically detached from
Norway in 1814. The Faroes are represented in the Nordic Council as a part
of the Danish delegation.
