+A collection of islands off the coast of Northern Europe. Divided into two major polities; the Republic of [[offtopic:Ireland]] and [[offtopic:the United Kingdom]] of Great Britain and [[offtopic:Northern Ireland]]. Along with all other British naming terminology, its precise definition is unnecessarily complex and designed to confuse foreigners. And indeed quite a few natives.
+Rabid Shetlands-based [[offtopic:Scotland#Scottish]] nationalists will also claim [[offtopic:Denmark]] is included due to its vile occupation of the 'Faroe Islands'. This of course is silly. Equally absurd is an attempt by some Irish nationalists to re-dub the islands as either the "Anglo-Celtic Isles" or, even more surreally, the "Northwest European archipelago" or "the islands in the North Atlantic".
