The Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) are a part of the Republica Americana Unida (United American Republic).
[edit] History
Doomsday had forced the Falkland Islands in a precarious position. Cut off from Britain and with food supplies running short, the Falkland Islands' civilian government in 1984 accepted an invitation by the Argentina government to meet in Buenos Aires to discuss how to best pool local resources. After intense discussion Argentina, Uruguay, and the Falkland Islands agreed to form a new unified nation known as the Republica Americana Unida (United American Republic). British military forces on the Islands reluctantly accepted this proposal and were allowed to evacuate the islands (along with any civilians who wished to accompany them) and head for Anglophone territory - Australia, South Africa, Canada, or Guyana. Most, however, chose to remain on the Islands rather than risk a dangerous journey. Since then, a few Falklanders have moved to English-speaking Guyana.
[edit] Dispute
Despite the years the Falkland Islands have been part of the UAR, the islands are still claimed by the Realm of New Britain, which claims to be the successor to the United Kingdom.
