No independent statistical series meets our sourcing bar yet
The Falkland Islands are a British Overseas Territory, administered by the United Kingdom; sovereignty is disputed by Argentina. They are not a separate reporting entity in World Bank datasets.
Every figure in a Terralore dossier carries the publisher that produced it and the year it refers to. Where no such figure exists we record the gap rather than estimating one — an imputed number is indistinguishable from a sourced one once it is rendered in the same card, and that would make the whole dossier un-citable.
What is above — capital, population, area, languages, currency — comes from the atlas' own reference dataset. It is a smaller claim, honestly made.
A wind-scoured South Atlantic archipelago — the Falkland Islands to the United Kingdom, Islas Malvinas to Argentina — whose contested sovereignty, a long pastoral colony, a 1982 war and an overwhelming 2013 referendum have made it one of the world's most closely watched disputed territories.
