flag: Falkland Islands

The flag of the Falkland Islands features a sheep and a ship alongside the Union Jack. This flag represents the region's main industries and history.

These islands in the South Atlantic are a British Overseas Territory, with sheep farming and fishing as important industries. They are home to a variety of unique wildlife, such as penguins.

The Falkland Islands gained global attention during the 1982 war with Argentina and currently hold a unique political status as a self-governing British Overseas Territory. The ship on the flag represents the 'Desire', the British vessel that first discovered the islands.

The region is a world-renowned wildlife watching destination, a habitat for diverse marine life including five species of penguins. Recently, it has gained attention for sustainable fishing and ecotourism, and also serves as a scientific research base.
