It is quite confusing, British Isles, Uk, and England. British and Ireland = two nations of British Isles. British 4 nations in one nation. Uk a nation within a nation. England a nation within a nation within a nation. City of London a city within a city. almost like those Russian dolls a doll within a doll within a doll.

Also, geographycally, the islands are set over the continental platform, wich due to international agreements, is argentine sea, making the island be situated over argentine territory.

[@mikesands4681]

True enough. Fiji always a bit tense.

[@fradinetienne712]

Regarding New Caledonia, I think I would state the facts (as I'm aware of anyway) : -There is indeed a sizable independence movement -It was agreed 30 years ago between France and this movement that there would be a string of 3 referendum, and if a single one was for independence, then independence it would be. -The first referendum was organized as recently as 2018, with the "no" winning 56.67% -Some more referendum will be organized, maybe as early as this year. -The big issue is how to decide who gets to vote, with certain rules being more in favor of one of the sides -The voting divide follows quite closely a racial divide, with a huge majority of the "recent", European (the "caldoches"), population in favor of the status quo, and a majority of the (bigger) native community, the kanaks, favor independence. Add to that 1/4 of the population that are not part of any of those 2 groups (think people from Polynesia, Asia...), and that are crucial for those referendum results. I just wanted to add those elements, as I feel it's interesting and can't just be boiled down to "New Caledonia wants its independence" My opinion should be irrelevant, but I'm still going to disclose it: it's fair that the Caledonians get to chose whether or not they want to be part of France.

​@@fitmotheyap It actually isn't. There are many Serbisms, but the language still very much acts as a sort of dialect to Bulgarian. You can hear much more diversity from some west and east Bulgarian dialects then with Bulgarian and Macedonian. And historically Macedonian history exists only after 1991. Otherwise there is history of the Macedonian region, not history of the Macedonian state.
