And when it comes to the American continents, the only people who truly have the right to complain about the others not being natives and interlopers lack the strength to rectify the situation.

Most of the time I have no idea what the hell I'm doing or talking about.

”Many forms of government have been tried and will be tried in this world of sin and woe.
No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is
the worst form of government, except for all the others that have been tried from time to time." -
Winston Churchill, 1947.

"Rifles, muskets, long-bows and hand-grenades are inherently democratic weapons. A complex weapon makes the strong stronger, while a simple weapon – so long as there is no answer to it – gives claws to the weak.” - George Orwell

They are referring to the three that voted "No" in the 2013 Falkland Islands Sovereignty Referendum, not the number of people that live there...

Six types of bisons are. I just didn’t want to say dodo, it’s a bit overused.

Wonder if those were 19 year olds wanting to live in the UK instead of the boring Falklands.

One of the emigrated shortly after. At least one of the others was after independence, rather than Argentine rule.

That leaves just one unaccounted for. One lonely little troll on a distant island in the South Atlantic. Kinda pathetic, isn't it?

The underwhelming percentage of edgelords amongst the Falklands population must have been a dire disappointment for some.

Sharply spotted, I'd say.

Keep an eye for copycat threads, like
Jan Mayen belongs to Greenland
Should Britain give the Shetlands to the Fær Oer
Pitcairn always belonged to Liechtenstein

It's for the sea access.
They just need to run a Vaduz-Pitcairn air bridge.
