Faroe Islands

A small windswept archipelago in the North Atlantic, where sheep outnumber the human inhabitants. An autonomous, constituent country in the Kingdom of Denmark, its capital city is Tórshavn. The national anthem of the Faroe Islands is: "Tú alfagra land mítt" (Thou, fairest land of mine) Situated south-east of Iceland, northwest of Orkney and Shetland isles, and west of Norway. Home to over ~50k people, many of whom live in the capital city of Tórshavn, and in their native tongue they call themselves the 'føroyingar', and they call their islands 'Føroyar', which is generally believed to mean "sheep islands". While being only a small ethnic group, on isolated islands, the Faroese have protected their language from foreign influence through folk songs and oral sagas, which have also recorded the epic history of the Faroe Islands.
